A Study of Planned Land Settlement in the Eastern Marchlands of Malaya
TATE-SPONSORED settlement is an important aspect of recent land-use trends in many tropical territories. It is, in the first instance, a recognition of the under-developed status of the indigenous sectors of land occupance.

Hambegamuwa Village
The annual average rainfall at Hambegamuwa is 55.8 inches.

Ella Village--An Example of Rural Settlement and Agricultural Trends in Highland Ceylon
Ella Village is strung out over a distance of somewhat more than a mile along the valley of the Ella Kandura, a tributary stream of the Mahatotilla Oya, that drains into the Welimada Basin which lies outside the bounds of the map (Fig. 1). The village can be reached only over a narrow path which winds over the rounded hills and across scrub grass and marsh from the nearest road head a mile away
