The average strength of the British fleet was as follows:- Europeans permanently in the Colony 250, Europeans occasionally in the Colony 5,340, Chinese permanently in the Colony 140, Chinese occasionally in the Colony 140, making a total of 5,870: For the purpose of estimating the population it is considered a fair average to include one-third only of those "occasionally" resident in the Colony; this gives 2,217 and of these 187 are Chinese.

The Chinese boat population (exclusive of the New Territories), is estimated for 1909 as 46,240 and the number of boats belonging to the Port and the villages of Hongkong, is as follows:-

This gives an average of 3.3 persons per boat.

The number of boats enumerated at the Census taken in November 1906 was 6,459 but this was only a month after the great Typhoon by which many boats were destroyed. There are in addition 9,016 boats in the New Territories.
