LABUAN.

This, the smallest British Colony in Asia, was ceded to Great Britain by the Sultan of Brunei in 1846, and taken possession of in 1848. It is situated on the north-west coast of Borneo in latitude 5 deg. 16 min. N., and longitude 115 deg. 15 min. E. It has an area of 30 square miles, and is about six miles from the Borneo coast. Although Labuan possesses a fine port, has extensive coal deposits, and by situation seemed likely to become a depôt for the trade of the north coast of Borneo, it has only partially fulfilled the expectations formed of it. The pro- duce of Brunei finds a market in Labuan, but the volume of the trade is small. The value of the imports and exports during the last three years was as follows:- 1883, imports, £77,415; exports £81,939; 1884, imports, £84,869; exports, £85,740; 1885, imports, £85,332; exports, £80,435. There are three sago manu- factories on the island, where the raw material is converted into flour, for export chiefly to Singapore. The Government is administered by a Governor
