for at least three years, to begin the work of including heights and hill features in the 1:125,000 map, owing to the pressure of other work. Captain Lees sug- gested that, at an extra cost of £1,200 a year, he could have one European and two native surveyors, with the necessary carriers, who could be put on to this work. It was agreed that Colonel Close should reply that he should make his proposal to the Governor, whose recommendation of the increased expenditure would be necessary.

DIRECTOR OF MILITARY OPERATIONS to FOREIGN OFFICE.
War Ofice, Whitehall, S. W., 17th July, 1909.
The Director of Military Operations presents his compliments to the Under- Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and begs to acknowledge the receipt of Sir C. Hardinge's Note of the 5th July, 1909,* and enclosures, on the subject of the proposed survey of Zanzibar.
Major-General Ewart is of opinion that in view of the Government of India letter of the 18th November, 1908, and of the well-known fact that the survey of India is now working under considerable pressure, it is unlikely that the Government of India will be able to spare the staff required.
Major-General Ewart has referred the matter to the Colonial Survey Committee, and finds that the Committee take the same view.
Major-General Ewart would suggest that the simplest plan will be to arrange, with the approval of the President of the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries, for the work to be undertaken, in the period, and for the sum named, by the Director- General of the Ordnance Surveys, who could detach a party for the purpose. In view of all the circumstances of the case, the scale of the map might be generally 1:10,000, the 1:5,000 scale being reserved for the more intricate and densely populated portions of the island.
