XIV A^yUAL REPORT. 



grapher since 1879 ; several members of the Society in England 

 have, it is understood, been interesting themselves in the matter, 

 but the Council is unable to give any explanation of the great 

 delay which has occurred. 



The urgent need of this map is admitted by all ; several new 

 geographical and topographical discoveries have been made, even 

 during the past year, and, with the basis of this new map to work 

 upon, it may be hoped, with the assistance of members and all who 

 are interested in such a matter, to produce, in a few years' time, an 

 accurate and useful map of the Malay Peninsula. 



Singapore, 31st January, 1881.
