- Typewritten notes by Raymond Firth, titled "Line Fishing for Parang, Perupok-Bachok, 1939-40." These notes examine the statistics of line fishing for parang, done "nearly all by single men in small boats."

Firth also gives statistics for some individual fishermen, to show the great variation in catches.
