### King's Park

Many of the trees planted last year have made good growth, but no others have been planted. A considerable amount of labour was spent in exterminating Lantana, but in this direction much remains to be done.

### Colonial Cemetery

As usual, a large amount of turfing was done. New shrubs were planted in various places to fill up vacancies caused by some of the older plants dying out. Many trees which were displacing monuments were cut down.

### Royal Square Garden

The plot of ground facing the harbour on the East of Queen Victoria's Statue, corresponding in area to the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank Garden on the West of the same statue, was laid out. Some small shrubberies were made and the remainder was turfed.

### Roadside Banks

Many flowering trees, shrubs and foliage plants were planted on various banks close to public roads and the Peak tram line. The banks planted were on the North of the Old Garden, Garden Road, Macdonnell Road, Bowen Road, May Road, between Kennedy and Macdonnell Road and between Macdonnell Road and May Road. In all 75 Bauhinia, 42 Hibiscus, 5 Lagerstroemia, 4 Mussaenda, 72 Hydrangea and 239 Acalypha were planted. A barbed wire fence was placed around the Hydrangeas, but in spite of this 12 plants were stolen or wantonly destroyed soon after planting.

### HERBARIUM

Four new species of plants from Hongkong and the New Territories were described by Mr. S. T. Dunn in the Journal of Botany.

A collection of 541 plants made by the late Mrs. L. Gibbs was presented by Mr. Gibbs; the Superintendent of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Calcutta, presented 196 specimens of Tibetan and Malayan plants; Mr. H. French Ridley 419 Kansuh plants; and 314 Hainan plants were purchased.

A key to the Flora of Hongkong, the New Territories and Kwangtung Province, prepared by Mr. S. T. Dunn and myself, will probably be published in the current year.

Additions to the local Flora are given in a supplement.

### FORESTRY

#### A.-Demarcation

No new areas were demarcated but the old numbers and letters were repainted.

#### B.-Formation of Pine Tree Plantations

The formation of plantations in the Harbour Belt was continued. Over 100 acres were sown in sites Eastward of the 1909 plantation, between Ma Lau Tong and Lyeemun. The number of sites sown was 528,200 at a cost of $4,257. Sites which failed to produce trees in the areas sown in 9D and 9C in the previous year were re-sown.
