The increase shown from 1908 to 1910 is being 
maintained, and up to December 78 gardens with 
26,190 vines have been registered during 1911 in 
Kuching. 
* Compiled from statistics supplied by Mr. G. C. Gillan, Govern¬ 
ment Registrar, and Mr. C. Ermen, Resident in Charge at Bau, to whom 
my best thanks are due for their kind assistance. 
f The first order providing for the registration of Pepper Gardens 
was issued in 1900, hence the large number registered that year. 
I Gardens in Paku district were registered at Bau during 1900 
and 1901.
