KELANTAN

This State is situated in the extreme north-eastern end of the Peninsula, between latitudes 4:45° and 625° North and between longitudes 101-30° and 102'40° East, with coast-line of 60 miles on the China Sea. It embraces an area of from 5,000 to 5,500 square miles. It is a mountainous country, with rich alluvial plains, and is drained by the Kelantan River and its tributaries.

Kota Bharu, six miles up the Kelantan River, is the capital, and the chief port is Tumpat at the mouth. The Sultan and the British Adviser reside at Kota Bharu.

Chiefly agricultural, Kelantan is believed to be rich in minerals, and much prospect- ing may be expected to be done in the next few years. The chief exports are padi and rice, copra and rubber, cattle and dried fish. The climate is healthier than other parts of the Peninsula, there being a distinct cold season about January. The temperature seldom exceeds 90° and sometimes falls to 62°, while the average rainfall is about 120 inches a year.
