The actual importations were probably from 1399 to 2000.

IV. Borneo

Borneo Proper 43 piculs Pontianak 2 " Koti 10 " ____ 55 ___

There has been an import of 19 piculs from Batavia.

Excluding a shipment of 448 1/2 piculs made at the beginning of the year the exports have amounted to 6073.47, which must nearly represent the actual imports as stocks are not kept in the place.

The import from Johore have greatly diminished since last year. The tree in many districts has become so scarce that the taban obtained does not repay the time consumed in searching for it. The chief supplies must now be looked for from Sumatra, the northern countries of the Pneinsula, and, above all, Borneo.

The total exports of tábán from Singapore have been in 1844,......... 1.68 piculs 1845, ......... 169. "


 * This is probably greatly under the mark. About 1,000 piculs are daily expected from Indragiri.
