PART IV. 
ADMINISTRATION. 
41. Mr. G. E. S. Cubitt was in charge until going on leave on the 4th 
Tilly 1924, when he handed over to the writer. The only change m adminis- 
trative arrangements was that whereby the care of the Dindings was trans- 
ferred from Perak South to Perak North and thus came now under the same 
supervision as Penang and Province Wellesley, the latter Settlement being 
in immediate charge of an Assistant Conservator of Forests. The change 
is undoubtedly one for the better.

Acting Conservator of Forests,
