September 1st

This morning I visited Raffles Museum situated near the fort behind or west of the hotel & away from the waterfront.

The Museum is a fine exhibition affair with a well edited guide book.  The animals are all Malay species & quite complete in large big game mammals.

The bird, reptile & fish collections are also good.  There is also much ethnological material but nothing botanical.  Dr. Hanitsch the director is an enimic continental speaking broken English whose chief hobby is the Library
