NEGRI SEMBILAN
This is a group of seven States-Johol, Tampin, Sri Menanti, Jempol, Rembau, Sungei Ujong and Jelebu, the two latter having been confederated with the original. group of five in 1895. They occupy together some 2,550 square miles of the interior of the peninsula, bounded on the north and east by Paliang, on the west by Malacca, and on the south by Johore. The five States originally known as the Negri Sembilan were brought under British protection by Sir Frederick Weld in 1883, and by an agreement with the respective chiefs, signed on the 13th July, 1889, they were con- federated as one Residency. They are governed by the native chiefs or penghulus, assisted by the British Resident and Magistrates under him.
Under the later scheme of confederation, brought into force in 1895, by which Sungei Ujong and Jelebu were brought in, there are five districts, viz., Seremban, the Coast. Jelebu, Kuala Pilah, and Tampin. Seremban is the head office, where the Resident and heads of departments reside. Heads of departments are for the whole State,,
