CHAPTER 1
Geography of Borneo
Borneo is one of the largest islands of the world. Its area is roughly
290,000 square miles, or about five times that of England and Wales.
Its greatest length from north-east to south-west is 830 miles, and its
greatest breadth is about 600 miles. It is crossed by the equator a little
below its centre, so that about two-thirds of its area lie in the northern
and one-third lies in the southern hemisphere. Although surrounded on
all sides by islands of volcanic origin, Borneo differs from them in
presenting but small traces of volcanic activity, and in consisting of
ancient masses of igneous rock and of sedimentary strata.
The highest mountain is Kinabalu, an isolated mass of granite in the
extreme north, nearly 14,000 feet in height. With this exception the
principal mountains are grouped in several massive chains, which rise
here and there to peaks about 10,000 feet above the sea. The principal
of these chains, the Tibang-Iran range, runs south-westward through the
midst of the northern half of the island and is prolonged south of the
equator by the Schwaner chain. This median south-westerly trending
range forms the backbone of the island. A second much-broken chain
runs across the island from east to west about 1[degree] north of the
equator. Besides
