Abstract
SOME time ago (NATURE, vol. xviii. p. 454) we were able to give a few particulars respecting the acquisition, by a British association, of a considerable portion of Northern Borneo, a region which has never yet been thoroughly explored. Under the title of “North Borneo,” the promoters of this association have just printed for private circulation a 4to volume, containing a sketch of the territory of Sabah, lately ceded to them, and a report on various portions of the same by a Ceylon planter, which are accompanied by an analysis of soils and three appendices. The volume also contains two maps of Borneo, but the details given therein about the northern part are necessarily meagre.
