(_c_) _The Malay Province_ includes the peninsula of Malacca south
of Tenasserim, and the series of islands beginning with Sumatra and
stretching eastward up to the Ké Is., besides Borneo and Celebes. The
Philippines form a separate province.
The Malay province is singularly poor in representative forms, whether
we regard it as a whole or consider the islands separately. Not a
single genus, with the exception of _Rhodina_ (Malacca), appears to
be peculiar. The contrast with the West Indies is in this respect
very striking. Java, for instance, which is well explored, and almost
exactly eleven times the size of Jamaica, has about 100 species of land
Mollusca, while Jamaica has about 460.
