The rise in revenue in Singapore is due to firewood, bamboos and canes, and 
other produce. A better price was obtained for the Mangrove coupes than in 1910. 
The revenue realized from Para rubber was not credited to the department, but to the 
Agricultural Deposit. 
In Penang and Province Wellesley there was a large increase in revenue due to 
timber, other minor produce, and compensation. Doubtless more efficient supervision 
has aided. 
In the Dindings there was a rise of about $800 due to timber, other minor produce 
and compensation. 
In Malacca, the estimate was not reached and the revenue actually fell off by 
about $400, chiefly on timber and other minor produce. The Forest Ranger gives as 
the reason the prevalence of Rinderpest and Foot-and-mouth diseases in Malacca 
in August and September, which killed about two-thirds of the buffaloes which are the 
only means of transporting timber in the forest.
