sible, any trespass into the tracts of jungle reserved. If tins is all tha ‘ “ eant \ 
Forest Operations, I do not consider that anything is to be gamed J an ' ™ a ° 
the staff, but if it were possible I would suggest that steps migh be t * 1 ™ 
to time to plant trees which are becoming scarce, or which might be valuable m the 
future, and thus to make the Reserves something more than a ta "g le ° ( , d ' 
jungle trees. If this were done, however, the staff would have to be ! nc T d J t "? ed 
the present conditions, this does not seem worth while. It is true that the ^ e 
positions of the Reserves renders it easy to steal wood from one of them while the 
Guards are engaged at another; but, excepting always such systematic thieving as 
that carried on near Pantai Acheh, the amount of timber lost m this way is .so com- 
uarativelv insignificant that its preservation would not repay Government lor a > 
increased expenditure upon the sfaff. Considering the nature of 1 the work on which 
they are engaged, the number of men employed is practically sufficient for all present 
purposes. . , . , , 
8. The Reserves in the North-West of the Island being the more important 
ones, the Guards are permanently stationed at Telok Baliang.an 
work of clearing the paths has been completed, there should be tie difficulty ,n pro 
tecting the Pantai Acheh Reserve from trespassers. For the other Reserves, 
occasional surprise visits are sufficient.
