This is the shipping port for Hanoi, Hai Duong, and Namdinh, the commer- cial centres of Tonquin. It is situated in lat. 20 deg. 51 min. N., and long. 106 deg. 42 min. E., on the river Cua Cam, a branch of that great river connecting Yunnan with the Tonquin Gulf, called the Song-koi, about sixteen and a-half miles from the light- house.

There is plenty of water in the river. Vessels anchor about a quarter of a mile from the shore in from 40 to 60 feet of water abreast of a creek communicating with the Song-koi. The banks of the river are low and consist of alluvial mud, from which the French Settlement and the town have with great labour and expense been reclaimed.
Haiphong proper is situated on both sides of the creek. The streets are narrow, repulsive, and dirty, but show some improvement now, part of the streets having been paved at the expense of the European and Chinese community. The native buildings are wretchedly constructed of mud, bamboo, and matting. The only decent buildings are those occupied by foreigners and Chinese, to which many have lately been added and more are in course of construction, so that Haiphong altogether commences to look more like a town. There are one hundred French troops stationed here, and several men-of-war, which are now constantly on the move. The bulk of the European residents are French. There is a French Consul stationed here. The Custom House is in the control of the French. The population of Hai-
