 route lies either via Hong Kong, with side trip to Shanghai, or 

 through Borneo to Singapore, including visits to the Botanical 

 Gardens and the famous rubber plantations. From here he goes

 to Singapore, Dr. Gleason expects to travel by coasting steamer 

 via Penang and Rangoon to Calcutta, and overland via Madras 

 to Ceylon, where the botanical gardens at Peradeniya will be 

 studied for about two months more. From here he will probably
