BRITISH NORTH BORNEO OR " NEW 
CEILON" AS A SOURCr; OF TEA 
BOXES FOR OLD CEYLON. 
From Mr. Henry Walker, formerly well-known in 
Ceylon and now Commissioner of Lands of British 
North Borneo, a settlement over which Britain has 
recently assumed a Protectorate, and which, we 
doubt not, will ere long be ranked amongst the 
Crown colonies of the Empire, we have received a 
very interesting map of the Territory, which he 
certifies has been corrected up to the 23rd of last 
month. The map appears to have been originally 
framed to accompany a paper by Mr. Daly, who 
has been prominent as an explorer of the region 
in which the protected State is situated. The map 
purports to hav« been compiled from the Admiralty 
Charts and the Surveys and Explorations of Messrs. 
F. X. Witti, W. B. Pryer, F. Hatton, H. J. Walker 
and D. D. Daly ; and it gives explanations of the 
terms (Malay chiefly, we presume) for names of 
places, which are interesting. They are as follows : — 
Bandar Town Kwala Mouth of River 
Batu Rock Labuan Anchorage 
Besar Large Merah Red 
Bukit, Bod Hill Pulo Island 
Danau Lake . Sungei River 
Gunong Mountain Tanjong Point or Cape 
Eampong Village Telok Bay 
Eetchil Small Trusan Passage or Chan- 
nel 
The territory on the mainland of the great island 
of Borneo is coloured so as to show the limits of 
the Provinces, and colour is also applied to Labuan 
and the numerous other islands scattered off the 
shores of the settlement. The Provinoes have, na- 
turally, been named after the leading founders of 
the colony, prominent being the name of the 
gentleman recently knighted. We have the nine 
Provinces of Dent, Keppel, Aloock, Martin, Cun- 
lifl'e, Elphinstone, Mayne, Nyburgh, and Dewhurst. 
Atiached to the map is a list of " Estates of 
British North Borneo," some of which are indi- 
cated as " applications," and opposite one we find 
"Timber Leases." Land appears as yet to have 
been taken or applied for in only five out of the
