Dear Dr Wallace,

I have much pleasure in enclosing the prints of Malay Forest vegetation, about which I wrote last week.

The following are brief descriptions of each (corresponding numbers are written on the back of photographs):–

(1). River Seleh (a tributary of the Kelantan River - State of Kelantan) - with forest. Pandanus in foreground. This is well in interior of the Malay Peninsula.

(2). Forest in Kelantan State - near Kuala Aring. On the tree [2] are epiphytic Bird's-nest Fern (Asplenium nidus-avis), and the climbing Acrostichum scandens ^{?Nephrodium acrostichoida Ridley p. 43}.

(3). Same locality - showing the Kuala junction between the river Seleh and Aring.

(4). Mangrove swamp (the mangroves in foreground are chiefly Rhizophora mucronata) - on the Redang Islands. These are in the south part of the China Sea – off Trěngganu (Malay Peninsula). On left of photograph are coconut palms, and a forest covered hill.

(5). State of Perak (West coast of Malay Peninsula) - Forest in interior, showing undergrowth of palms etc - lianas - climbing ferns (Acrostichum) etc.

[3] (6). Perak Forest - near village Selama. In centre of photograph may be seen the slender stems of lianas, hanging from the tree tops.

As you will see all the photographs are ^{from the} Malay Peninsula, so not exactly what you require. But if any of them are of any use I shall be most pleased for you to publish them.

In any case, please do not trouble to return the prints,

Believe me, | yours very truly | R. H. Yapp¹ [signature]
