92 Handbook of the European public upon mach the same terms as those prescribed for the hill bungalows in Perak and Selangor. The air at Port Dickson is peculiarly dry and salubrious, and the facilities for sea bathing are excellent. The place is therefore a very popular resort, and persons in delicate health usually derive much benefit from a period of residence there. . Advantage has been taken of the salubrity of the climate on this portion of the Coast to erect a Convalescent Hospital upon the sea beach in the neighbourhood of Port Dickson, for the accommodation of natives suffering from beri-beri. Patients are removed there from the inland hospitals when in a fair condition to travel, and rapidly recover strength under the influence of the fine dry air and the sea bathing. Conservancy. The care and maintenance of the streets, markets and other public conveniences of the District Towns is confided by the Government to the hands of Sanitary Boards as in the neighbouring States. Prisons. There is not as yet in the Negri Sembilan a prison designed upon recognised modern principles, and long sentence prisoners have hitherto therefore been received in the gaol at Kuala Lumpur. A prison of modern design to meet the needs of the whole State is now being erected at Seremban Districts and Towns. The Negri Sembilan is divided into five districts for administrative purposes, as follows : — (i.) The Coast District, (ii.) The Seremban District. (iii.) The Jelebu District. (iv.) The Kwala Pilah District. (v.) The Tampin District. The three former comprise the State of Sungei Ujong, but the name Negri Sembilan formerly applied inaccurately to Nos. (iv.) and (v.; only, is now adopted for the whole group. The town of Seremban is the capital of the State, the head-quarters of the British Eesident and the heads of the various Grovernment Departments. It is connected with the sea by railway.
Federated Malay States. Seremban is a prosperous little town, it has grown considerabl}^ in the last few years with the rising prosperity of the country, and its importance as a centre will be increased upon the completion of the new railways which are now projected or in course of construction. Port Dickson, the head-quarters of the Coast District is 25 miles by railway from Seremban, and is practically the only port in the State. The district extends from the Sepang Eiver, which is the boundary with S clangor, to the Linggi River, which forms the boundary with Malacca. Jelebu, the head-quarters of which are at Kuala Klawang, is connected with Seremban by a cart road, twenty-four miles in length. The district adjoins the Pahang boundary and supphes a considerable portion of the tin exported from the State. Kuala Pilah, which gives its name to the district lying to the South of Sungei Ujong, is the principal village of Ulu Muar. Within the area of this district are comprised the minor territories of Ulu Muar, Johol, Jempol, Terachi, Gunong Pasir, and Inas. Tampin, 32 miles from Seremban, and adjoining the settlement of Malacca, contains VN^ithin its district jurisdiction the territories of Rembau, Tampin, and Gremencheh. The tin producing area, is principally situated within the districts of Seremban and Jelebu, which were for some years the only portions of the State to export their mineral. Later exploitation in the Kuala Pilah district has resulted in the production of payable tin, and in this division also the important agricultural areas of the State are situated, in the districts of Kuala Pilah and Tampin, where the Malay population has for many years past been engaged in cultivation of a far more regular, systematic and successful description than is found elsewhere among the States of the Federation. The estates owned and cultivated by Europeans are for the most part situated in the Seremban and Coast districts. The Negri Sembilan has few attractions to offer to the Spoi-i. sportsman in pursuit of game, large or small— certainly none which would tempt a visitor to proceed to the State for the purpose. Elephants and Seladang (Bison) are occasionally to 7
