4. The total length of artificially marked boundaries of reserves is 368 miles, 
and that of natural boundaries 132 miles. Total 500 miles. The reduction from the

The difference between the figures in columns 6 and 7 is explained by the fact 
that the prices paid for the coupes are paid in two instalments, and these are not 
always both received in the same financial year. The average price obtained was 
$6.36 per acre. 
8. No offers were received for the mangrove coupe in the Tanjong Burong 
Reserve, Dindings.
