Dear Symington, 
Your ifO in F.R.O.7O/35. Rhododendron is 
not yet back from J.J.Smith. When it comes I will 
see whether there is a deuplicate and if not will 
send you the original. 
2 . Furtado would like to look over your Calamus 
after he has finished Dae monorops 
I am newly back from Kelantan. I had a 
look at Bukit Batu Papan (S.Lebir) which is not 
limestone as marked on 193 V map but shole. Good 
deal of Chengal (worked by Chinese) also Dipterocarpus , 
Shores and Dryoba] anops■ I also went in to K.Betis 
on the S.Nenggiri and collected on some limestone 
which is not marked on the maps. The forest between 
Gua Musang and K.Betis is disappointingly poor - a great 
deal of old ladang, dry ridge forest with much Bertam, 
and every Jelutong seen killed by tapping. 
23/35- 
Yours sincerely,
