Dear Henderson, 
. • 
For information rega.rding plants my "best 
thanks p 
I struck the locality Kwala Buhong today in the 
Journal of the Straits hrahch of the Ro^^'al Asiatic Society 
54, p, 119 in one 
of 
E*TvhEirch*s accounts 
of- the 
taking 
over of Upper ^ 
erak 
from the Siamese in 
1909 : 
but 
I 
am yet uncertain 
if 
Kunstler* s ITlu Bubong 
c oul d 
be 
upon 
the same stream* I pass the information that I have 
to you in case 3 ^ou are ahle to throv/ any light on to 
the locality. You will find that Birch was journeying to 
Belum. He had passed through Berusong rdiich is upon th-e 
maps and had not reached Feneris, which is' also upon 
the maps^; a,nd so we are ahle to fix this Kuala 
^\ihong fairly well* But whether in 1886 Kunstler could get 
■f « 
into such wild country and make hig collections is another 
matter. I am so far unahle to see de ^organ’s map of erak 
■9 
made in 1886* If he, however, could survey in the region 
where this Kuala^^Buhong is, perhaps Kunstler could collect 
there, I hoping that Galder will report to me from 
* ? 
Calcutta that he possesses letters from KunSB.er to King. 
I have got together this information of Kunstler*s 
earlier collectings 
in May, 1880 he was in Singapore and seems to have 
remained there until August or September, when he went to 
Gopeng, and Sungei Raya until near the end of the year. 
1881 the month of Janua3r^^ finds him again in Singapore 
April in B^nang, -‘^ay in B^edah, and with June he settled at 
•^aiping. Unless he went to Gopeng in Kovemher, he remained 
there for three quarters of a year 
1882, in the month of ^ay he seems to have been on the 
Sungkai, and then to have returned to Thaiping where he remained
