BURMAH.
An extensive State in farther India. It is
bounded North and West by Assam and Thibet,
East by China, South by the Indian Ocean. It is
now divided into two kingdoms, British Burmah
and Burmah. The climate is quite healthful; the
rainy season continues from May to September,
following which is a most delightful season until
March. In appearance, as our picture indicates,
the Burmese are much like the Mongolians, hav-
ing the same large cheek bones, oblique eyes
and short robust figures. The language is simi-
lar to the Chinese. Manufactures and agricul-
ture are carried on but indifferently. The princi-
pal religion is Buddhism. The Singer Machine
was introduced here over 18 years ago, and is
extensively used.
