 collecting was done in the course of the recent Malay-States 

 Expedition, has been compiled by request, in the hope that it may 

 afford some sort of a guide to the localities in which the collecting

 (in the case of words of more than one syllable). 



The vowels and diphthongs are pronounced much as in Italian,

 which represents what is called the " indeterminate " vowel. The
