PENANG

Penang or Prince of Wales Island, as it was formerly called-is situated on the west coast of the Malay Peninsula in 5 deg. north latitude. With the Dindings and a strip of land on the opposite coast known as Province Wellesley, from which it is sepa- rated by a strait varying from two to 10 miles in width, it constitutes the second in importance of the three governments known as the "Straits Settlements." The island contains an area of about 107 square miles, being 15 miles long and nine broad at its widest portions, while Province Wellesley extends for a distance of 45 miles along the coast, and has an average width of eight miles, containing 270 square miles, and about 200 more for the Dindings. The chief town of Penang is George Town, but the name of the island (which signifies "Betel-nut Island") has become so identified with the town that the specific designation has almost dropped out of use.
