In addition to Collinson's map, which was on a scale of
4 inches to the mile, there were in existence plans of various
portions of the Colony, such as the City of Vistoria, the Hill
District, Kowloon, the principal villages, 30., but in most
cases these had been produced in a piecemeal fashion and were
far from accurate. As will be seen from the following state-

The above remarks refer to the Colony proper. In the c330
of the New Territories, ceded in 1899, a map had been prepared
by a Survey Party from India during the years 1899-1904 but
so many of the traverse points have since been destroyed by
the native population, who were unfriendly at first to British
rule, that it was found impracticable to utilize it in the pre-
paration of the new maps and as all filling in had been dons
by plane table it was not possible to replot the survey,
Here again the mistake of variety of scales was repeated,
those employed being different from any of the plans previously
produced. A considerable area was plotted on a scale of 16" =
1 mile (1 = 330 feet), but, as this was found to be too small
to be applicable to many parts, a scale of 33* = 1 mile (1* =
165 feet) was adopted for the remainder.
After full consideration of the matter, it was decided
that the new Ordnance Maps should be plotted on scales of 200
feet and 50 feet = 1 inch, the latter being only used for po-
pulous areas or where early development of the country night
