Synopsis

Excerpt from Geographical Pathology<br/><br/>Geography. The Malayan Peninsula may be considered as stretching from the northern extremity of the Gulf of Siam, southwards, for about 900 miles, to Singapore. Its greatest breadth is about 210 miles; at the Kra isthmus it narrows to 44 miles. Of the north-eastern portion of the peninsula, washed by the Gulf of Siam, little is known': the north-western region forms the province of Tenasserim, which has already been noticed. The English possessions comprise the island of Penang, the province of Wellesley on the adjoining mainland, a small settle ment at Perak, the province of Malacca, and the island of Singapore. A range of hills, more or less continuous, traverses the centre of the peninsula from north to south. The western coast belt in many places abounds in swamps, jungles, and rice fields (army Medical Report, Of the interior, and, we may add, of the east coast, little is known.
