ACCOUNT OF EXPEDITIONS TO MT. KINABALU. 
described. The misfortunes of some of the members, 
particularly of the writer, who describes himself as a welter 
weight, make interesting reading. His descriptions of 
native life add fresh details to what has already been 
written on Kinabalu.

the British Borneo Exploration Company. 
The above paper is a general descriptive essay on British 
North Borneo, with special reference to its geological 
features and mineralogical wealth. The Kinabalu massif 
is called by the author a tonalite rather than syenite or 
hornblende granite; however, I am given to understand 
by a competent authority that the distinctions between 
these two are very small, and that a sample I brought from 
the summit is undoubtedly hornblende granite. 
Dr. Pilz gives no account of his expedition to the moun¬ 
tain, which took place in July, 1910. The record of his 
visit was found on the summit of Low’s Peak, dated 
July 27th, 1910. 
1911. In the same place another record of one Albert 
Grubauer, of Munich, was found, dated June 29th, 1911. 
After this the mountain appears to have been left in peace 
till my own visit two years later.

This is a brief report on my expedition to the mountain 
in August and September, 1913. Accompanied by seven 
native collectors I left Kuching on August 8th, reached 
Jesselton on the 15th, and, following the Tampassuk route, 
reached Kiau on the 20th, Pakka cave on the 24th, and the 
summit of Low’s Peak on August 25th. In all, six weeks 
were spent on the mountain'—camps were made at Pakka, 
Kamborangah, Lobong, Minitindok, Kalupis, Marei Parei, 
and Kinokok. The return journey was commenced from 
Kiau on October 2nd, the Tuaran route being followed 
instead of the Tampassuk. Beached Jesselton on October 
7th, Singapore on the 12th, and Sarawak on the 16th. The 
first part of the above report was published in the ‘ Sarawak
