31. In Singapore the increase over 1917 is due to the larger demand for 
firewood and to the much better prices paid for the mangrove coupes, the 
results perhaps of the high price of coal. A greater number of permits than 
in 1 917 were issued for the removal of nyirch and other old timber from coupes 
leased in former years, and there was an*extension of vegetable cultivation in 
the South Seletar Reserve. 
In Penang, Province Wellesley, and the Dindings, the reserves have been 
opened more freely to exploitation, the chief contributors to* the increased 
revenue being the Pantai Acheh Reserve in Penang, the Tasek Glugor 
Reserve in Province Wellesley, and the Segari-Melintang and Tanjong 
Burong Reserves ?n the Dindings. 
The decrease in Malacca is more than accounted for by the sale of the Bukit 
Sebukor rubber plantation and the small price paid for the lease of the planta- 
tion at Ayer Kroh. If interest an the purchase price of the Bukit Sebukor 
plantation is allowed for the decrease is converted into an increase.
