MISCELLANEOUS NOTICES. 1§7 



Gunoiig Asal bears almost due East from Gunong Pondok 

 and is distant from it about 38 miles in a direct line. 



Keturning to Kampong Langkor I followed the Sun- 

 o-ei Kerbau to its junction with the 



Plus mg ' ei ^ lns v } Yei '> wM( * latter l went *P as 



far as it was navigable for boats of light 



draught. 



The Plus is a very fine river, and although several of the 

 rapids* are tedious, the river can be much improved, should 

 there be sufficient traffic on it to justify the expenditure 

 of a few hundred pounds sterling. 



From all I heard and personalty saw I feel convinced 

 that the Plus Valley generally is ex- 

 _ Tin and soil in Pins ceedingly rich in Tin deposit. Certainly 

 "* alley ' the soil on Gunong Asal is very supe- 



rior and well adapted to Coffee-growing, while in the valley 

 it is no less so for most low country products. 



I must have been some 50 miles up the Plus river at 

 the rapid f above referred to, and^ 



JeramDina (Rapid.) frQm what j gaw ^ a s]l0rt walk a j ong 



the bank still further up I think it quite possible that 

 had I lifted the boat over the rapid (not a very bad one) I 

 might have gone much further up, as the river seemed 

 broad and deep for a considerable distance. 



Returning to Kuala Kangsa rii Plus and Perak river 

 I proceeded to Thaiping. 



Before starting for the interior again I tooked the 

 necessary levels for a proposed tramway 

 Tramway to Thai- from Telok Kertang to the market place 

 P ln s- at Thaiping. The information so re- 



corded will be sufficient for $11 working plans and estimates, 

 but I will have to extend the section and forward particulars 

 from Ceylon hereafter. 



My next journey through the State commenced at 

 Thaiping and took me across the 

 3rd journey to Sela^ upper waters of the Kurau, Hijau, and 

 ma, Inas, &c. other rivers to Kuala Selania. 



From Kuala Selania I ascended the Selama river b}- 

 boat, proceeding as far as it was navigable for small craft, 



Notably Jerani Dina where I turned.
