Extract

IN a previous paper in this Magazine, as well as in an official report to the Government of the Federated Malay States and in a paper in the Mining Magazine, I have discussed in some detail the geological relations of the pregranitic sedimentary rocks of the Kinta Valley, in the State of Perak, F.M.S.1 The relations of the mainly calcareous Raub Series of Permo-Carboniferous age and the rocks generally known locally and colloquially as the “ Schist Series ” (Triassic and perhaps Rhaetic), formed one of the principal subjects on which I was requested to report to the Government. My conclusions were, I think, sufficiently clearly expressed in the publications quoted, and it is unnecessary to repeat here the arguments and field evidence which led me to those conclusions.

page 199 note 1 It is not known how much of the “calcite” here described is really dolomite. Most of it shows polysynthetic twin lamellae to some extent.

page 202 note 1 This name does not appear on the 1inch map of the F.M.S. Topographical Survey, Sheet 2 N/9 (Batu Gajah), but it seems to be well known locally. Of course it has nothing to do with the village of Papan on the west side of the Kinta Valley.
