MALACCA,

Peninsula and that it was the cradle of Anglo-Chinese study attest its former importance. Its area is embraced by boundaries some 42 miles in length, with a breadth of from 8 .o 25 miles. It is governed by a Resident Councillor in subordina- tion to Singapore.

Its one point of interest is its location as a natural history centre, the majority of its casual visitors being attracted thither for sport or science. Beyond this it possesses no attractions except to those who like to visit scenes famous in the annals of discovery for the bloody fights they have witnessed between the natives and the European nations who contended for their possession. Its population in 1881 amounted to 93,579 individuals, of whom 52,059 were males and 41,250 females, an increase since 1871 of 15,823. Of these 40 were Europeans, 2,213 Eurasians, 19,741 Chinese, 67,488 Malays, and the remainder various Eastern races.

The population was estimated in 1883 at 95,500.

The value of the imports into Malacca in 1884 was $2,964,397 as compared with $4,045,122 in 1883; the experts amounted to $3,060,803 in 1884, and $3,988,412 in 1883. The revenue in 1884 was $288,186, as compared with $286,166 in 1883.
