MALAYAN REVIEW
Malayan Forests
Malayu's total forest revenue last year was $1,775,658. That is a very satisfactory result, viewed by itselt. But until a few years ago, considerable harm was being done to our forest resources, for the bulk of our timber and firewood supplies was derived by a process of "mining" the forests on State lands, that is to say no steps were taken to replace the valuable timber cut.
In the four western States and in Johore these forests are now nearing the point of exhaustion and, even in Pahang, where there still remains a large area of untouched forest on State land, depletion

Infant Mortality.
The Malays show a consistently high number of Infant deaths throughout all periods up to the first year, with a peak during the period four weeks to three months. This appears to suggest that the causes affecting Malay infant, deaths are operating all through the infant's life. It has been suggested that nutritional deficiencies. are responsible for the high rate of Malay infant deaths.
There-appears to be..no doubt that deficient nutrition in Malaya and, perhaps, to a less degree, in Chinese plays an important part in infant deaths. according to the Registrar General of Births and Deaths.
The recent increase in prosperity has encouraged the rural dweller, and to a great extent the urban dweller, to sell the food- stuffs grown on the family lot and to purchase a more sophisticated but less nourishing diet. Similarly while a poor rural Malay mother will at least breast-feed her child, her counterpart in the city will bring up her off spring on prepared milk of dubious quality. In ad- dition to this, secondary poverty is more rite among town dwellers and, combined with the disadvantages and risks of a compact popula- tion, may have an effect on the infant mortality rate: This would infant mortality rates as compared with the Straits Settlements. perhaps partially explain the remarkable difference in the F.

Malaya's Climate
•
Everybody talks about the weather in Malaya. We wonder whe- ther it is hotter this year thar last, how long the drought will endure, and so on. Exact information on the subject is to be found in the Summary of Observations. 1936" by Mr. C. D. Stewart, Superintea- dent of the Meteorological Branch, Survey Department, B.6. ånd FM.S.. which has just been issued, says the "Malaya Tribune."
There we read that the characteristic features of the climate of
Malaya are uniform temperature, high humidity and copious rainfall, By uniform temperature is meant the lack of serious temperature variation throughout the year The dally range of temperature is large. Being from 10 degrees to 15 degrees F. at the coastal stations and from 15 degrees to 20 degrees F. at the inland stations.
and they arise mainly from the maritime exposure of the Peninsula.
The variation of temperature.. throughout the year is small, and the excessive temperatures which are found in continental tropical areas are never experienced. In this connection It may be noted.. says Mr. Stewart, that an air temperature of 100 degrees F. has very rarely been recorded in Malaya under standard conditions.
"In other words, we are very well off in Malaya compared with other countries in the traples.
