6. Fires are reported to have burnt upwards of 300 acres of lalang and brush- 
wood in the Tassek Glugor Reserve (2) in 1897, and 120 in the Ara Kuda Reserve (1). 
No large timber was desttoyed by fire. .. . 
c. The Tassek Glugor Reserve (2) is reported to contain a few valuable Merbau 
trees 7 (25). The Ara Kuda Reserve ( 1) a lesser number of Merbau trees (say 10). 
Neither Reserve contains other timber of special value. 
8 No planting operations have been undertaken in the absence of funds. A consi- 
derable expenditure would be required for the planting of young trees and their 
protection from fire, and it is to be doubted whether such expenditure would be justi- 
fied in view of the facility of getting timber along the coast. 
q. The Tassek Glugor Reserve is particularly inaccessible as a source of timber 
supply. It consists of a wide area of lalang land with clumps of trees scattered over it 
I should be disposed to sell the land to coco-nut planters if any demand for it 
10. There have been no applications for timber during the year from the Reserves. 
Two Malays were convicted and fined for taking timber without authority, tor 
repairs to the Muda Bund.
