Matang, a sub-district of Larut, contains' many large rubber estates, and a con- siderable fishing industry exists on its coast.

The large districts of Batang Padang and Upper Perak are as yet less developed than the rest of the State. The railway runs through the Batang Padang district six miles from the headquarter town of Tapah, for which the station, Tapali Road, is some seven hours from Penang. A metalled cart road has been completed to Grik, the headquarters of the Upper Perak district.
