¹ In spite of numerous works on the Malay Peninsula, it is not easy to get a simple and accurate description of the physical features of the land. The statements in different authorities also do not always agree, particularly as regards distance, area, and the height of mountains. The above account is based on the following books :— a. John Crawfurd—A Descriptive Dictionary of the Indian Islands and Adjacent Countries (London 1856); (s. v. Malay Peninsula). b. J. H. Moor—Notices of the Indian Archipelago and Adjacent Countries (Singapore, 1837), pp. 241. ff. c. Major C. M. Enriquez—Malaya (Hurst and Blackett, 1927). d. Encyclopaedia Britannica—14th Edition.
