Having read with great interest Mr. E. E. L. Dixon's remarks on the Radiolarian cherts of Gower in the November number of the Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society, I am tempted to offer some notes on the occurrence of similar rocks in the Malay Peninsula and Archipelago, where Radiolaria-bearing rocks are known to be widespread.
