and Beranang; this has natural drainage, and is about 6 or 

 7 miles from Batang Benar — a station on the railway, some 

 miles south of Kajang. 



In the south-west end of the district, between the 

 Kuala Langat district and the State boundary, there is a 

 considerable tract of land; but it is unexplored at present. 

 The land lying along the Bukit Salak-Bangi road on both 

 sides is undulating and well drained, but towards the 

 Langat river probably swampy. On the Ayer Hitam road 

 most of the north frontage has been taken up, but behind 

 these alienated blocks the land is said to be much the same 

 as that in the Klang district. It is possible that a road 

 may be put through this tract from the Ayer Hitam road 

 to Tanjong Duablas in the Kuala Langat district. 



Kuala Selangoi;. 



This district is bounded on the north by the Bernam 

 river; east, Ulu Selangor; south, Klang; and west by the 

 Straits of Malacca. The head-quarters are at Kuala 

 Selangor, at the mouth of the river of that name. There is 

 a Land Office managed by the District Officer and a Dis- 

 trict Survey Office. It is some 28 miles from Klang by 

 road. There is a motor service to and from Klang, twice 

 daily; and the Government launch from Port Swettenham 

 calls once a week. 



The Klang-Kuala Selangor road, which runs along the 

 coast, is the principal road. The road from Rawang (47 

 miles) meets the Klang road 1 mile from Kuala Selangor 

 town. At the 24th mile on the coast road is the Bukit 

 Rotan road, which, with its extensions, going nearly due 

 east joins the coast road with the eastern district boundary; 

 there are also a short road parallel to the Rawang road, 

 between the 25th and 26th miles, and the Bukit Panjang 

 road near the 18th mile. A new road is proposed from 

 Batang Berjuntai, near the 3(>th mile on the Rawang road, 

 south, to meet the Klang road at about the 8th mile. North 

 of the Selangor river, little is known of the country to- 

 wards the Bernam: it is said to be swampy, but nothing in 

 way of road or drain construction is likely to be done there 

 at present. 



Of any land now available in this district, it may be 

 premised that it will require considerable outlay on drain- 

 age as it is almost all low-lying. Between the Rawang road 

 and the Selangor river there is 1,500 acres available, a tap 

 drain is being run through this block at the 46th mile.
