Photographs taken during Yapp's participation in the Cambridge University Expedition to the north-eastern Malay states and Upper Perak in 1899-1900, led by William Walter Skeat.

Gwynne-Vaughan (Christ's College, Cambridge), Frank F. Laidlaw (Trinity College, Cambridge), and Richard H. Yapp (St John's College, Cambridge).
