BRUNEI

B The sovereignty of the Sultan of Brunei has been reduced to a wedge of territory of some 4,000 square miles, practically surrounded by Sarawak. With a coast line of 100 miles it embraces the Districts of Belait, Tutong, Brunei, Tamburong and Labu. This is only one town of any size, Brunei or Dar-ul-Salam (city of peace), which has a population of 9,767 persons. The census of 1911 shows a total of 21,718 for the whole State. Of these some 300 are Chinese. The Europeans numbered 8 in Brunei Town. The town itself was formerly composed of houses built in the river on nibong piles. With the establishment of peace and order, however, the natives have gradually learned the advantages of cultivation and have migrated to terra firma, and all business in the town is now couducted on land. The Chinese have built some 30 stone and brick shops and houses, and all government buildings are on land. At Muara Damit
