2. The two last on the list, G. and II., are new Reserves, demarcation of which 
was completed just at the end of the year at a cost of $313. The others remain as 
last year with the exception that the boundary of Pangkor Reserve South has been 
slightly altered in order to improve the boundary path and to make more use of 
natural boundaries, and that in Tanjong Burong Firewood Reserve paths have been 
cut excluding the fishing villages of Tanjong Burong and Sungei Panchor which 
were formerly included in the Reserve. 
3. The Staff of Forest Guard was the same as in 1899, viz . : 3 Guards at -$9 per 
month and 4 at $8. They were stationed as last year, viz . : — 
3 at Bruas, 
2 at Beting Luas, 
2 at Lumut, 
one man at $9 being at each Station with one man at $8 with him (2 at Bruas). This 
staff was inadequate and would have been more so this year since the addition of the 
two new Reserves at Telok Muroh and Ulu Bruas ; and the addition of 6 new Guards 
together with an additional Forest Ranger has been accordingly sanctioned. New
