Abstract: Our present-day understanding of the geological evolution of northeast Borneo has its foundations in Bulletin No. 1 of the “Geological Survey Department of the British Territories in Borneo”. Since it was published in 1951, fundamentally new geological concepts have been introduced and the penetration of geologists into what at the time was still largely a “terra incognita” has greatly advanced our comprehension of the Sabah geology. A review of the salient elements of this publication is presented here.
