Abstract
THIS useful and comprehensive work may well be compared with Sir George Watt's classic “Dictionary of the Economic Products of India”, and should stimulate research on Malayan economic products in the same manner that Sir George Watt's well-known work has undoubtedly done for those of India. It is arranged on somewhat similar lines, but is naturally smaller. The author, a well-known botanist, has had a long and varied experience in the Eastern tropics and possesses a first-hand experience of the numerous natural products of these regions. He has been responsible for almost all of what appears in regard to vegetable products in the work?more than ninety per cent of the total. Well-known authorities on mineral, animal, fishery and forest products in Malaya have contributed to the remainder of the subject matter.
