The delay in final notification of the Malacca reserves is due to some discussion 
as to the method of describing the boundaries, but descriptions were prepared and the 
reserves are practically settled. 
Demarcation and Up-keep of Boundaries. 
3. The total length of artificial or cut boundaries of reserves in the Colony is 
353 miles. 
In Singapore 70 miles were kept clean by the forest guards. 
Tn Penang and Province Wellesley 87 miles of boundaries were cleared on 
contract for $272.94 or at $3.14 per mile, and Telok Bahang, Pantai Acheh and Tasek 
Glugor boundaries were cleared by the forest staff. Notices were served on the owners 
of lands adjoining the Bukit Mertajam and Bukit Serayah reserves instructing them 
to clear their boundaries. 
4. In the Bindings 59^ miles of boundaries were cleared departmentally at $305. 
average of $5.12 per mile. 
In Malacca 86 miles of boundaries were re-cleared at $404.40, average of about 
$4.70 per mile, 22 miles were in good order and required no repairs. 
The work under this head has been well and cheaply carried out. 
Surveys. 
5. In Singapore the Forest Ranger completed a rough survey of North Seletar 
reserve. 
In the Dindings the Southern boundary of Telok Sera reserve and the Western 
boundary of Batu Undan reserve were surveyed. No other surveys were taken in 
hand and much remains to be clone in the Dindings.
