Its coast-line, broken into, however, by a bit of British territory, is about one hundred and twenty-five miles in length. Its sole southern boundary is the State of Selangor. On the north it has the British colony of Province Wellesley, and the native States of Kedah and Patani, tributary to Siam.
Perak or as they would call it in the smoking-room, Pea rack Selangor, Pahang called at home Pahhang Jelebu, Sungei Ujong also Londonized into Sonjeyajang and many others of unaccustomed sound.
