PREFACE XV
permission to reproduce their map of S.E. Asia, to
Dr. P. Geiger for a map showing the Distribution of
Ipoh, to Mr. F. F. Laidlaw for help in the arrange-
ment of Part I., and to Mr. N. W. Thomas for much
generous assistance in the revision of the proofs, and
for the compilation of the Indexes.
To these and many other willing helpers the
authors hereby express their most hearty thanks ;
and they venture also to anticipate on behalf of their
readers a high appreciation of the unselfish and
public-spirited manner in which these numerous colla-
borators have contributed valuable material towards
a work that has not been undertaken in a commercial
spirit but for a scientific purpose.
Lastly, acknowledgments are due to the publishers
and printers for undertaking the work in the same
spirit, and executing it in a manner which it must be
left to the reader to appraise. The date of publication
has been repeatedly postponed by the recurring ill-
health of one or other of the authors, and this has, of
course, thrown an additional burden on the publishers,
to whose forbearance under these trying circumstances
the authors feel that special recognition is due.
