Miscellaneous. 
8. Authority has been obtained to # emi)loy a corporal and guard at Sungei Siput 
Brisu in 1900, and to insert an extra pair for the same reserve in the estimates for 
1901. It will be also necessary to have extra assistance to re-open the lines which 
have been entirely overgrown. • 
9. The paths in the other two reserves have been kept open and are in a satis- 
factory state. 
10. In December there was a rather serious lalang fire on the edge of the Sungei 
Udang Forest Reserve whereby a great deal of young brushwood was destroyed. 
Four men have been arrested, and the case is still pending at the date of writing. 
11. In Bukit Panchor and Sungei Udang nc traces of illicit timber cutting have 
been discovered beyond those already mentioned. In Brisu Sungei Siput there has 
undoubtedly been a certain amount of timber cut, partly due to the uncertainty of the 
boundaries. This will be prevented by the presence of a guard.
