ABSTRACT

Pulo Ubin is an island lying in the strait between Singapore and the coast of the Malayan Peninsula, of which the eastern extremity faces the entrance of the Johore river. This chapter conveys some conception of the distinctive aspect of the island by giving the author's own first impressions of the island. It describes the rocks of the island, based on his observation, noticing slightly the scenery where it is most remarkable for its beauty. The chapter provides a notice of the relations between the island and the adjacent localities and some remarks upon its bearing on geological theories at present.
