Behind the blocks which front on the south side of the 

 same road there is about 18,000 acres on the proposed ex- 

 tension of the Bukit Rotan road. Between this road, the 

 protective belt reserve and the eastern boundary there is 

 another tract of some 15,000 acres, omitting the part next 

 to the Jeram river, which is subject to floods. South of the 

 protected belt there are some 10,000 acres available for 

 selection. The last-mentioned two acres will be served by 

 the proposed Batang Berjuntai road: at present access to 

 the eastern portions would be a matter of some difficulty. 



Klang. 



So far as rubber is concerned there is very little avail- 

 able land that is worth considering. Near the Bukit Rajah 

 Estate, a few hundred acres of hilly land might be found, 

 and careful selection might reveal 2,000 acres along the 

 Klang river; but the latter would require much drainage: 

 neither locality has easy access though it is not far from 

 road or railway. At Klang there is a Land Office, of which 

 the District Officer is in charge, and a District Survey Office. 



Kuala Langat. 



Jugra — the head-quarters of the district and the seat 

 of residence of the Sultan — is 19 miles by road from Klang, 

 the Langat 7'iver having to be crossed by a ferry which will 

 carry a good-sized motor car; the Government launch runs 

 once a week between Port Swettenham and Jugra. 



At Telok Panglima Garang, a branch of the road turns 



to the east to Tanjong Duablas — a point on the Langat 

 river — whence traces have been made for roads to Bangi, 

 on the railway line, and Aver Itam in the Ulu Langat dis- 

 trict. To the south the Batu Coast road, Morib to Sepang, 

 may be extended. At Morib, on the sea coast, some miles 

 south of Jugra, is a Government Sanatorium: it can be 

 reached by launch from Port Swettenham. Apart from 

 Jugra, the only village of any importance is Sepang, on the 

 river, which forms part of the boundary between Kuala 

 Langat and the Coast district of the Negri Sembilan. 



In the Labu division, some 10,000 acres of undulating 

 land, towards the Negri Sembilan boundary, might be ob- 

 tained: this would be difficult to access. In Batu, a coast 

 division, south of Morib, there would be about 25,000 acres, 

 with access from the coast road at Sepang; the country is as 

 yet unexplored, and it is difficult to say what area would be 

 available — it is estimated at 30,000 acres — this part of the
