Extract

The name Pahang Volcanic Series was given by Mr. J. B. Scrivenor to those eruptive and intrusive rocks of the Malay Peninsula which are older than the Mesozoic granite, and the rocks were described by him in The Geology and Mining Industries of Ulu Pahang, 1911, ch. xi. As the name implies, the series is most strongly developed in Pahang, but it is also developed to a greater or less extent in Singapore* Island, Johore*, Negri Sembilan*, Selangor*, and Perak*, and possibly also in the more northern states, Kedah*, Kelantan*, and Trengganu*. The present account deals for the most part with the main development in Pahang, and most of the information was obtained on two trips, one to examine the railway-cuttings from Gemas* to Kuala Lipis, and the other to examine outcrops over a distance of about 100 miles in the rivers Jelai and Pahang, from Kuala Lipis to Mengkarak.
