in Pahang: of the latter road, the length from the 42nd to 
the 64th mile lies in this district, the direction of the road 
being nearly due north and south. 
Tt is in this direction, east of the town of Kuala Kla- 
wang, that most of the avaiable land, some 50,000 acres will 
be found, either fronting on or within easy reach of either 
the Pertang or the Pahang roads. A good proportion of this 
land will be found to lie to the east of the Pahang road, out 
the long distance from the railway-— Seremban, some 40 
or 50 miles distant, being the nearest point on the open line 
— will continue to handicap this locality unless the line 
under construction from Gemas on the Negri Sembilan- 
Johore boundary to Kuala S cm an ta n on the I ■ a l| an £ T1V ® ’ 
which follows a' route somewhat to the east of the Pahang 
road, should make railway communication a good deal more 
accessible. Being- well inland, this part of the country 
would require very litfle drainage except near the banks oi 
the Triang. This river, which raises m the Seremban 
range, passes through Kuala Klawang in a north-easterly 
direction, receiving the Jerang river near the point w ie 
the Pahang road crosses the boundary, and ultimately tans 
into the Pahang river, south of Kuala Semantan; it is salt 
to be navigable for native boats of considerable size as tai 
up as its junction with the Jerang. 
Between the foot of the hills on the Seremban boundary 
and Kuala Klawang, some 4,000 acres could be found on 
either side of the Seremban road; this land is somewhat 
hilly, and on one side is separated from the road bv a con- 
tinuous strip of swampy path land. West of S’ fit Are 
wang, in the Ulu Triang division, o,000 acres, fanly flat, are 
to he had on the banks of the Triang river; on the othei 
side between the Pertang road and the lulls towards Koala 
Pilah, there are again 5,000 acres of undulating country 
with access at several points on the Pertang . cad. 
Coast. 
This district lies between Seremban and Tampin on the 
east and south; Kuala Langat on the north s and the SUaite 
of Malacca on the west; the Lmggi rivei— the southern 
boundary of the district— is the northern boundary of the 
Colonial Settlement of Malacca. 
Port Dickson is the only town of any size and is tlie 
head-quarters of the district: here are stationed tlie Distnct 
Officer and a District Surveyor.
