No officer can claim as a right to commute his leave in this ten months at a time. manner, the decision whether commutation can or cannot be allowed being wholly within the discretion of the Governor. Officers attached to an educational institution enjoy when in the Colony the ordinary vacations of the institution to which they are attached. When taking long leave outside the Colony they may be allowed to draw full pay during the first three months of their leave unless a school vacation has immediately preceded the grant of leave, in which case full pay may be drawn during two months only. The remainder of the leave in either case is on half salary, and half pay only can be drawn during any school vacation falling within the period of an
extension of leave.
8. The present rule as to superannuation is that in the case of ill-health an officer holding a pensionable appointment may be allowed to retire on a pension after ten full years' resident service; otherwise he must have attained the age of 55. For ten full years' resident service fifteen-sixtieths of the average annual salary of the retiring officer's fixed appointments for three years prior to retirement may be awarded, to which one-sixtieth may be added for each additional year's service; but no addition will be made in respect of any service beyond 35 years. For pension purposes absence on full-pay leave counts as full service, and leave on half-pay as half
service.
9. Hong Kong is one of a number of islands situated off the south-eastern coast of China, at the mouth of the Canton river. The island is an irregular ridge, stretching nearly east and west; its broken and abrupt peaks rising to the height of nearly 2,000 feet above the sea level. It is separated from the mainland of China by a narrow strait known as the Lyeemun Pass, which does not exceed half a mile in width. The opposite peninsular of Kowloon (2) square miles) was ceded to Great Britain by a treaty entered into by Lord Elgin in 1861 with the Government of China, and now forms part of the Colony. The temperature has a yearly range of from 45° to 99°, but it occasionally falls below 40°. The wet season begins in May, after showers in March and April, and continues until the beginning of August. During this period rain falls almost without intermission. The rainfall varies greatly, but the mean is about 90 inches.
