note the local names of the various species found in the Dindings. 

 They are as follows: — 

 Bakau akik. 



Bakau Besi or Bakau Pahang, which has a very rough bark and 



splits unevenly. 

 Bakau puteh. 

 Bakau Buros, 

 Tomoh. 



Langgadei and Tengah. 

 These are all utilised for firewood. 



Nerei, Api-api, Perapat and Terrontong are the names of species 

 not used for any purposes. Bakuta and Kadaku are unknown to 

 the Forest Department Officers, probably Terrontong is another 

 name for one of them. 



A large quantity of Tengah bark with an admixture of Bakau 

 bark is used locally and exported for tanning purposes. 



All the cutters here are Chinese and the general average appears 

 to be about 3,000 billets per mensem per man; the size of these bil- 

 lets is considerably less than 10 katties. No statistics are, however, 

 available on this point as the monthly pass system is in force and no 

 royalty is charged on export. 



I am, 

 Yours faithfully. 

 R. SCOTT, 

 Acting District Officer, Dindings. 



THE AGRICULTURAL SHOW. 



The Annual Agricultural Exhibition of the Straits Settlements 

 and Federated Malay States will be held in Penang at the beginning 

 of August this year. We shall hope to have as fine and interesting 

 an Exhibition as w r e had last year in Kuala Lumpur. 



The committee of the last Exhibition and that of this year's one 

 have set aside $180 each for the initial cost of the medals and 

 diplomas, and the Government of the Straits Settlements has ad- 

 vanced the same amount to be recovered later from future exhibitions 

 Messrs. WATERLOW & SONS are to produce the medals and diplo- 

 mas. 



A list of the winners of medals at the last Show is appended: —
