THE NEGRI SEMBILAN.

This is a group of half a dozen small states-Jelebu, Johol, Tampin, Sri Menanti, Jempol, and Rembau-which occupy some 2,000 square miles of the interior of the peninsula, bounded on the north by Sungei Ujong, on the west by Malacca, on the east by Pahang, and on the south by Johor. They were brought under British protection by Sir Frederick Weld in 1883 and by an agreement with the respective chiefs, signed 13th July, 1889, they were confederated as one Residency. They are governed by the native chiefs or penghulus, assisted by the British Resident and Magistrates under him. The chief industry is tin mining, in which a good number of Chinese and some few Europeans are now engaged. The entire population of the six states is probably under 10,000.
