It is curious that Burma and Siam have not become possessed of better means of intercourse, in view of the racial and religious simi- larities of their peoples; the reason is probably due in the first place to the barrier of inhospitable coun- try which separates them, and in the second to the fact that the pro- duce of the two countries being substantially the same, and their requirements similar, there is no natural flow of commerce between them.

The line which remains to be constructed to join the railway systerns of Burma and Siam is from Ye to Prachuab Kirikan.

The greatest difficulty encounter ed is that of transport, and the next one that of Inbour. During the last season's work: (1925-26), these dif- culties were somewhat enhanced on account of faulty information re- ceived, and the lesson was learnt that no reliance can be placed on local transport of labour.

A striking feature met with at the outset was the remarkable deve- lopment of the Federated Malay States. No part of India or Burma bears comparison to this colony, which is modernised to a high de- gree, notably in regard to its magnl ficent roads.

On December 31, 1918, Mr. Schoen- fold was married in New York to Miss Ethel Goodman, daughter of the late Colonal Thomas Good- man, U.S.A., whose widow is now visiting her daughter.
