tectorate.
11. At the end of one year he will, if approved by the Surveyor- General or Director of Surveys, be appointed to the Department at the ordinary rate of pay attached to junior survey appointments. In the Federated Malay States an approved Probationer will be placed on the permanent establishment at the end of his probation. Revision Elsewhere the appointment will be for three or five years in the first instance, with a prospect of re-engagement if the surveyor's service continues to be satisfactory. In Ceylon a Surveyor has a prospect of ultimate appointment to the permanent establishment, while in Uganda nine and in East Africa only two of the appoint- ments in the Survey Department are permanent and pensionable.
12. The rates of salary payable after the expiration of the period of probation are as follows:-
(£300 to £350 a year
Ceylon.-Assistant Superintendent of
Surveys
Federated Maluy States,-Second-Grade

£300 to £360 a year by annual incre- ments of £15
East Africa and Uganda.--Junior Staff (£250 to £280 a year
Surveyor
by annual incre- ments of £15.
13. If at the end of a year's probation a Probationer is not approved, his appointment will be terminated, and he will have no claim to any compensation beyond a free passage back to England. The probationary period of one year may, however, be extended at the discretion of the Governor or High Commissioner if the extension is recommended by the Surveyor-General or Director of Surveys on account of special circumstances.
14. The Secretary of State does not by these arrangements preclude himself from considering an application for appointment from a surveyor who is fully qualified in the practice of his profession but whose case cannot be dealt with under the ordinary procedure for filling Survey Probationerships.
