Once every morning at 5.30, when taking over from the night 
guard, the number recorded and certified by the Manager or European 
Assistant in Muster and Distribution Book. 
Lights out at 9 p.rn. in all Kongsis. 
MUSTER AND DISTRIBUTION BOOK. 
All fit coolies after muster and medical inspection are to be told 
off for work not later than % to 6, and the details as set out in 
Muster and Distribution Book recorded. 
An inspection of changkols, parangs, or whatever implements 
are used, is to be made daily, either at evening or morning muster, 
by the assistant in charge of each gang. The coolies must be taught

FIELD WORK AND DAILY ROUTINE. 
E. After muster, if the work is not too far off, the coolies are to

field and square number, day by day, and submitted to the Manager.

This work is of the utmost importance, as on it depends the 
successful development of the Estate, and it is impossible for me to 
impress upon you too strongly its vital importance. 
White ants, “Termes Gestroi,” their detection and 
remedy : — There are a great many different species of white ant in 
this country but it is accepted that “Termes Gestroi ” is the harmful
