Abstract
I RECORDED Lower Silurian graptolites from Malaya 8 years ago1. Since their discovery during the geological mapping of the Langkawi Islands large areas of north-west and central Malaya have been systematically mapped on a 1 in. : 1 mile scale by the Geological Survey of West Malaysia. As a result of this work more than 100 further graptolite localities have been found in Kedah, Perak and Pahang States, and among the graptolites found have been those of Monograptus hercynicus type, which has previously been described only from Central Europe, the Yukon Territory and Australia. I am now examining collections of these fossils.
