39- The total revenue derived from the exploitation of timber and fire- 
wood on Crown and Alienated land fell from $30,338 to $29,900. But if the 
figures mentioned in the last sentence of 38 are excluded, royalty has fallen 
from $26,370 to $24,931. 
MINOR FOREST PRODUCE. 
(a) — F rom Reserved Forests. 
40. Revenue from this source fell from $3,247 to $2,580. The fall was 
due almost entirely to the cessation of rubber tapping in Malacca and the 
general fall of revenue in Penang and Province Wellesley. The other two 
Settlements showed an increase. 
41. Damar tapping in the forests in the Dindings is in progress, and 
results to date are encouraging. In Segari-Melintang reserve 75 temak and 
148 chengal trees have been opened and there is another lease-holder who has 
just started work in Gunong Tunggal reserve. 
(b ) — From Crown and Alienated Land. 
42. Revenue increased from $1,1 16 to $1,235, the increase being in the 
Dindings.

44. The increase in the Singapore figures over those of 1927 and over the 
estimates is due to the squatters fees. These cannot be foreseen. The 
increases in the Dindings and Malacca are probably due partly to closer 
supervision, consequent on the stationing of senior officers in those 
Settlements.
