FOOTNOTES:
[1] Trusan, means a passage connecting one stream with another, or a
short cut joining two reaches of the same stream.
[2] I may remark here that the map I had with me had been constructed
during my former journeys, and I verified it as I proceeded.
[3] The Murut tribe, who formerly inhabited the Madalam branch of the
Limbang, and occupied the country round the base of the mountain of
Molu.
[4] A pikul is 133⅓ lb.
[5] A gantang is six pints.
[6] Gray shirtings.
[7] There are two ranges, which explain why I was so puzzled by the
different appearances presented by these mountains. In fact, it was
only afterwards I discovered that in ascending the Trunan we had got
under the “_child_ of Molu” as it is called by the Malays; had we
continued ascending the Madalam, we should have found ourselves under
the great peak.
