XVlll ANNUAL REPORT. 



decided to obtain materials for the compilation of a new 

 edition, and for this a Committee was formed. Examination 

 shows that in the earlier edition there were many inaccuracies 

 in the coast line, and a more correct one is being prepared 

 from the Admiralty charts. 



In answer to a circular asking for copies of new survey 

 corrections, etc., the Committee have received a number of 

 additional maps of various parts of the Peninsula, and more 

 are promised shortly. These include maps of several portions 

 of Pahang, hitherto blanks in the map; a map of Malacca; 

 and the extreme North of the Peninsula on the borders of 

 Siam; and a complete survey of Johor; so that it is hoped that 

 the new edition may be a great improvement on the earlier 

 ones. 



A number of publications of kindred Societies were received 

 and added to the Society's Library, and a copy of Mason's 

 ''Burma" was presented by Mr. Blagden.
