They have become to a great extent civilized, and adopt many Chinese customs. They are called in the local Chinese Pepo hwan (ef ifi g) or savages of the plain, in distinction from those dwelling in the mountains. Driven from their original seats, they have themselves pushed their. Way in some places into territory in possession of the still untamed savages. An attempt in this direction on a considerable scale has been made during the past year by a colony of Pepos, under the leadership, of a foreigner, at a place called Ta-lam-o (j; g a situated on the east coast about fifteen miles below Suao. Friendly arrangements have been made with the savages, and the valley is abundant in resources; but the enterprise has met with strong local opposition, and its success is, from a combination of causes.
