Abstract
THERE is a remarkable uniformity in the geology of a very large portion of Southern Asia and its dependent islands, especially from the Malay peninsula, as far east as the Philippines, and as far north as the Chinese continent. In the Malayan peninsula we have an elevated granitic axis. At the base of this there are Palæozoic schists and slates. Above these in a few places there are limestones in detached weathered masses. This limestone is often crystalline, white, blue, and black. In a few cases there are traces of stratification, but no fossils.
