Sir,
I am directed to request you to inform Mr. Sec. Henderson that in connection with the exhibit being organized by the Govt. of Hong Kong at the British Empire Exhibition, a question has arisen with regard to certain ornaments of local manufacture in which kingfisher wings are used.
It is desired to exhibit the process of manufacture at the exhibition and to place the articles on sale, and I am to enquire whether any difficulty will be raised in regard to the issue of the necessary permit for the importation of the small quantity of plumage required for this purpose.
In this connection it is understood that the kingfishers in question are used as an article of food by the Chinese apart from any sale value...
