5. The rest of the Reserve is for the most part big jungle on hilly ground. To 
the East it is bounded by the frontier of Kedah. On this side the jungle in Kedah 
territory stretches for some miles, so that there is little likelihood of illicit wood-cut- 
ting-

BINDINGS 
r. The Reserves remain the same in number as in 1898, viz., six, as follows ; — 
(1) Tanjong Burong (firewood only) 
(2) Bukit Telok Sera and Bukit Segari. 
(3) Gunong Tunggal. 
(4) Tanjong Hantu. 
(5) Lumut Hills. 
(6) Pangkor Island (containing 2 separate Reserves, classed as one). 
As none of these Reserves have been surveyed it is not possible to give their 
areas even approximately. 1 am, however, convinced that figures given in previous 
reports — but which it was stated at the time were little more than guess-work — have 
considerably under-estimated the actual area in every case. 
The boundaries of the largest Reserve, i. e. Bukit Telok Sera and Segari have 
been slightly extended during the year: the Eastern boundary was previously, for 
about three miles of its length, the bridle path connecting Lumut with Bruas : this 
path has recently been converted into a cart road, and in the Segari district it was found 
advisable to abandon the old line in favour of one lying about a quarter of a mile 
farther east. As the road forms the natural boundary the extra strip of jungle has 
now fallen within the reserved area. 
Inspection, etc.

Supervision. 
3. The distribution of the Forest Guards was the same as in the previous year, 
vis. : — 
At Lumut, 2 (for watching the Reserves at Lumut, Pangkor and Tanjong Hantu), 
At Bering Luas, 2 (for Gunong Tunggal and Segari). 
At Bruas, 3 (for Bukit Telok Sera and Tanjong Burong). 
Prosecutions. 
4. No prosecutions for illicit cutting in the Reserves were undertaken in 1899. 
As has already been pointed out, the felling of large timber cannot be carried out 
undetected in this district, but to effectually check the removal of smaller iuncd e
