serious nuisance in the more hilly parts of the district. Considerable damage was also done to crops near Ping Kong by a herd of wild pig. An attempt was made to shoot some of these but they succeeded in escaping from their lair just ahead of the guns, fresh tracks being found on the crest of the ridge towards Wo Hop Shek. The herd was afterwards sighted near Wai Tau and is now probably in the ravines of Tai Mo Shan.
April 1921.
