Description

The coastal plain between the Sungai Singkil and Udjung Tuan, about 156 miles SE, is generally narrow, being backed by mountains with numerous peaks.

Ujung Tuan is a rocky point. A 175m hill, with a remarkable broad conical summit, lies close SE of the point.

To Udjung Tuan, about 116 miles farther SE, the mountains gradually approach the coast. The rivers are generally small and of little importance.

Off the whole of this coast there are numerous reefs and islands, some of which rise steeply from the 200m curve.
