Bear Sir, 
In an issue of the Straits Times last week 
there was a reference, in Anak Smgapura 1 s column 
to Br.Hose T s description of spontaneous fires 
on limestone hills in Borneo, 
Unfortunately I cannot now lay my hands 
on that issue and I should he very grateful if 
you would let me know on what date it was 
published; and also if possible the name of the 
book or publication in which Dr.Hose describes 
the phenomenon.

Curator of the Herbarium.
