A road runs from Port Dickson south along 1 the coast, 
turning northwards near the Linggi river and returning to 
Seremban, a distance of 48 miles; another road is now 
being constructed from Membau— a station on the Surge i 
Ujong railway — through Lukut, which will bring Port 
Dickson within 25 miles of the State capital. Land can be 
found in the following places: 
(i) At the 5th- 7th miles on the railway there is 1,000 
acres under heavy forest ; 
(ii) Fronting on the Sepang river — the boundarv with 
the Kuala Langat district— are 3,000-4,000 acres, said to 
be very fertile. There is no road, and the land would 
require considerable drainage; 
(iii) In the same division, near the head of the valley, 
some 2,000-4,000 acres, heavy forest, high land and some- 
what hilly: the nearest Government foad is 6 miles distant; 
a road passing up the valley between Lukut and Labu is 
contemplated ; 
(iv) Four thousand acres on the Membau road, be- 
tween the 12th and 15th miles from Port Dickson, and near 
the railway ; 
(v) On the Coast road, 1,000 acres, a mile inland from 
the 4th mile; 5,000 acres with frontage, between the 7th and 
8th miles; and 5,000 acres at the loth mile. The greater 
part of this land is hilly or undulating with some 400 or 500 
acres of swam]); 
(vi) About 3,000 acres between the 21st and 23rd miles 
with frontage on the Seremban-Linggi road, undulating 
with a few hills; and 3,000 acres of forest near Sunk Ben- 
tong Tapioca Estate. Some 5 miles from the Government 
road, a private cart-road to Linggi runs within a mile of 
block: in this division, Linggi, are several flourishing 
tapioca estates, and two blocks of lalang land, 2,000 acres 
each, have been taken up. On the Sungei Ujong Railway, 
a mile or two from Port Dickson, the land on' either side of 
the line now planted with rubber has been recently re- 
claimed from lalang.

Lying between the Coast district and Kuala Pilah, with 
Seremban on the west and Johore on the east, is the district 
of Tampin, with which is included Rernbau. The railway 
traverses the whole length of the district to Tampin, the 
head-quarters : here one branch turns away to Malacca the
