288 SHORT NOTES. 



Malacca Riverside " Foot of the Dutch trees." — The 



Fort Road, the ascent to the Stadt House, and the road to 

 Tanjong Kling were adorned with magnificent avenues of 

 angsana (sometimes called " sena ") trees — the same as 

 we have on the Singapore Esplanade. These avenues all 

 decayed in the course of two years — some five-and-twenty 

 years ago, I should say.
