My Lord,

I have the honour to invite Your Lordship's

attention to the first paragraph of your despatch

Hong Kong, No. 160 dated the 25th of June, 1929, wherein it is stated that the title of the new Hong Kong 20,000 series of maps has been altered to read "Hong Kong and

New Territory", and that the marginal notes have been

similarly adjusted. I would observe that this amended

form still contains an error, the correct nomenclature

being "Hong Kong and New Territories" as set out in the

Government Circular of the 26th of October, 1906, of

which I enclose a copy. I venture to express the hope

that if time permits the alterations to which Your

Lordship refers will be made in the correct form.

I regret that, owing to an oversight, this

error was not brought to Your Lordship's notice at an

earlier date.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient, humble servant,

25.9. Son Thor.

Officer Administering the Government.

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

LORD PASSFIELD,
