On Mt. Kellett south, Shunwan, and Aplichau, 29 b of seed were sown broadcast in areas where trees had previously been destroyed by fire.
On the southern slopes of the Kowloon hills and on the hills around the Kowloon reservoir, 272 tb of seed were sown broadcast in grass lands where previous sowings had failed.
At Fanling, on hills near the Golf Course, 50 b. of seed were sown broadcast.
Last year's broadcast sowings on the southern slopes of the Kowloon hills were remarkably successful.
Broad-leaved Trees Planted. In the Tytam catchment area about 6,000 trees were planted consisting of Tristania, Eucalyptus, and Casuarina.
In the Pokfulam valley 1,000 Melaleuca were put in.
At Fanling over 1,400 Tristania and about 400 Casuarina were planted on low hills near the relief Golf Course.
Near the Golf Club House, Fanling, 400 Tristania, 400 Casuarina, 56 Eucalyptus, 40 Aleurites, 53 Ficus retusa, 230 Ficus infectoria, 12 Pterocarpus, and 9 Folienia were planted.
On the hill near the 17th green, Fanling, 200 Tristania were planted.
Twenty-four Eucalyptus trees were planted alongside the fairways to the 15th and 16th greens, Fanling.
On Mt. Parish around the Subordinate Officers' Quarters 270 Tristania were planted.
Care of Trees in Plantations.—Creepers damaging trees were cut in plantations on Mt. Gough, Mt. Victoria, Mt. Nicholson, Mt. Kellett and at Deepwater Bay.
Dead trees were taken out of plantations in various parts of the island.
Fortunately there was no return of the caterpillar plague on pine trees referred to in last year's report.
Protection from Fire.—A new fire barrier was made on the south side of Mt. Kellett to protect the young trees in the vicinity.
The old barriers were cleared before the Chinese Autumn Festival which took place on the 17th October.
The day happened to be very wet so there was no risk from fire on that occasion.
