Research and responses

Thomas Nelson Annandale and Herbert Christopher Robinson undertook an expedition to Perak and the [then] Siamese Malay states in 1901-1902, under the auspices of the Universities of Edinburgh and Liverpool. The results of this expedition were published in Fasciculi Malayenses: Anthropological and Zoological Results of an Expedition to Perak and the Siamese Malay States, 1901-1902, published in London by Longmans, Green in four parts between 1903 and 1907.

Note that 'Sakai Bukit' is often used as ethnonym for 'Po-Klo', but 'Sakai' is an offensive term meaning 'slave'. Note too that 'Seman' ('Semang') is also offensive, and that I can find no refernce to 'Gebelur'. Information from Ethnologue. [SHD 1/6/2001]
