The Iava museum at Batavia is a grand collection & one of the most instructive from the care with which it has formed & the admirable Catalogue well compiled.SUMATRAis of course well represented: The ACHEEN section a little thin. & the large brass pipes fromBatak-landenare very welcome. The British Museum has one a little longer than the Iava specimen. The Pin cushion arrangement on the wooden Bowl for the Pricker to be stuck into is very original & the steel at the end of the pipe is original also.
