Discussion 
Prof. Miles (U.S.A.) asked if colour photography would assist in interpretation in the areas 
described. The speaker answered that research has not been carried out as to the use of colour 
photography, but, in the speaker’s opinion, because of the dense foliage, colour photography 
would not be of much help. 
The speaker had to give a negative answer to a question by Mr. Landen (U.S.A.), who in 
quired whether seasonal leaf shedding permitted the ground to be seen in jungle areas. 
Mr. N. B. Brown (U.K.) asked if landslides occurred only in soil, or if there were also rock 
slips. Answer: No, we have not heard of any rock slips in Malaya.
