Extract

During my visit to Malaya in 1938, for the purpose of reporting to the High Commissioner upon the mineral industry of that country, I noticed in cuttings at two places exposures of banded rocks of alternating light and dark tints that recalled the varved sediments of other parts of the world. As such rocks have not hitherto been described from Malaya, and as varved sediments are everywhere considered to be of much interest, a brief note upon these Malayan occurrences seems desirable, in case they should prove to be of similar origin.
