| Abstract: |
During a recent visit to the mukims bordering on the river Tembeling I came upon some very' interesting traces of the pre-Malay inhabitants of Pahang which I describe here. A small sketch map showing the scenes of the finds accompanies this paper. The discoveries were made chiefly at Jeram Kwi, Kuala Nyong, Teluk Lubok Puai, and Bukit Jong. In no case did time permit of a thorough investigation hence the fragmentary nature of my notes on the subject. The finds were in many cases consequent on the great floods of 1926 - 1927 which tore away huge masses of earth from the banks of the Tembeling and laid bare the objects here described. My thanks are due to Mr. J. C. Shenton of the Geological Department, Federated Malay States, for identifying the iron slag found at Jeram Kwi and Kuala Nyong, specimens of the iron implements found at Teluk Lubok Puai and Bukit Jong, and the bronze objects discovered at the latter place.
