Research and responses

Thomas Nelson Annandale and Herbert Christopher Robinson undertook an expedition to Perak and the [then] Siamese Malay states in 1901-1902, under the auspices of the Universities of Edinburgh and Liverpool. The results of this expedition were published in Fasciculi Malayenses: Anthropological and Zoological Results of an Expedition to Perak and the Siamese Malay States, 1901-1902, published in London by Longmans, Green in four parts between 1903 and 1907. [SHD 17/5/2001]

'Singora' could be another spelling of 'Singorra' in Malaysia, or it could refer to Songkhla, for which 'Singora' with one 'r' is a synonym. [SHD 1/6/2001]
