Assessment
Reliability Tier2
Reliability tier 2, a classic early ethnography of the Malay Peninsula drawn from Skeat's own field notes and Malay manuscript sources during his administrative service in Selangor. Over a century old and written from a colonial administrator's vantage rather than a Malay scholar's own, so this atlas treats it as a primary record of the folklore it documents, paired with later scholarship where that exists.
