decided pleasure. The foreigners almost exclusively live on the bluff, which in former years was only dotted by a few European buildings, but is now ornamented with many. From the bluff an extensive partly-cultivated plain develops, over which some sport is obtainable-snipe, plover, quail, and pigeons being found in large numbers, but duck and other water-fowl are not numerous. The climate is considered to be very salubrious. The estimated population of the port is 20,000. No port in China is more easily approached and entered than that of Pakhoi. The landmarks are conspicuous and unmistakeable. The channel, marked by a couple of buoys, is wide and deep and has no hidden danger to be avoided. The anchorage for steamers is situated opposite the western part of the town and is a mile and a half from tlie Customs House, which is situated at the extreme east-end. The construction of a railway by a French Company from Pakhoi to Nanning was authorised a few years ago, but work on the project has not yet been commenced. The leading Chinese residents of Limchowfu, the chief city in the Pakhoi district, at one time formulated an ambitious scheme of railway construction spreading out to Western Kwangtung and Kwangsi, with lines to Kweichow and Yunnan, but the realisation of this project is probably as distant as the other, A free school for the teaching of the French language to Chinese, a free hospital for the treatment of Chinese patients and a Post Office have been established by the French Government. In 1906 a police force was established by order of the provincial government of Canton. In 1907 the local merchants established a branch office of the Canton Chamber of Commerce.
