22. Tn Malacca 538*28 tons of timber were removed on payment of royalty, 
and 236,295 poles under free grant. The fall of 564*99 tons in outturn was 
accompanied by a decrease of revenue from $1,256 to $1,201. 
23. The total revenue on timber, fuel, and charcoal from Crown land in 
all the Settlements was $13,113.27, details of the quantities extracted, amount- 
ing - in all to 6,144*43 tons of timber and 14,854*80 tons of firewood, being given 
in Form 9 \ 1 he corresponding figures for 1920 are 4,64048 tons of timber, 
r 3 .' 8 2 5 '65 tons of firewood, and $13,215 revenue. 
(c) From Alienated Land. 
24. the only record of outturn from alienated land is 100*34 tons of 
timber in the bindings, which realised $68.68. The revenue derived in 
Malacca from the 10 per cent ad valorem tax on the timber on newly alienated 
land fell from $14,873,95 to $2,848.13, This source of revenue is almost 
exhausted as there is little Crown land left to alienate. The system is one 
which might be followed with advantage elsewhere. 
Minor Forest Products. 
(a) From Reserves. 
25. Revenue on minor forest produce from reserves rose from $2,017.55 
to $4,195.88, owing to the transfer of $3,000 from deposit account to revenue 
as mentioned in paragraph 14. Excluding this item there was a fall of 
$821.67, accounted for by the impossibility of leasing the Para rubber planta- 
tion at Ayer Kroh in Malacca and the decrease in revenue from canes in 
the Dindings. The revenue for each Settlement and the principal products 
from which it was derived are as follows : — 
Singapore: — $11, from nibong; 
Penang and Province Wellesley : —$354, chiefly from akar ($210), canes 
($66), and bertam and langkap ($50); 
Dindings : —$702, chiefly from krang shell (240), granite ($171), and 
kajang ($170.80) ; 
Malacca. — $137, chiefly from canes ($98), 
(b) From Crown Lands. 
26. There was a decrease from $1,717.01 to $1,330.30 in the revenue on 
minor produce from Crown lands, the principal items being $624.45 for tengar 
bark in the Dindings, $241.08 for nibong, and $197.63 for canes."
