25. The above figures include $173.65 revenue due on timber supplied free to the 
Public Works Department in the Dindings. No timber appears to have been supplied 
free to the Public Works Department in Malacca. There has been an increase in 
revenue in everv case except the Dindings, where the estimate for 1908 was based on 
the assumption that the Tanjong Burong Mangrove Reserve would be thrown open to 
working. The survey, however, was not completed in time to permit of this. 
36. The increase in Singapore is due to the opening of two coupes in the Pandan 
and Changi Mangrove Reserves. I he small increase in Penang and Province 
Welleslev may I think be ascribed to the revised rates of royalty introduced with the 
revised rules. 
37. In the Dindings, the Gunong Tunggal Reserve had to be closed to felling, and 
Batu Undan was only worked for a short time ; there was a decline in timber revenue 
of $453 and in firewood of $910, owing to the fact that the available area of Mangrove 
forest containing trees of sufficient girth is much reduced. Certain areas are now 
closed to recuperate. The working of the Tanjong Burong Reserve in 1909 should 
raise the revenue to the normal level. The fall in revenue was met by a large saving 
in expenditure. 
38. In Malacca, the rise in revenue is due to the sale of rubber. There was 
a fall in other minor forest produce.
