Local Public Works.-The small local works undertaken and assisted by the District Officer is shown in Table G attached.

General:-Early in the year the ground survey in connection with the air survey of the Colony made by H.M.S. Pegasus, was completed.

All the local village and place names were carefully checked and have been forwarded to the cartographers, so that the resultant maps, when ready, may be expected to be extremely accurate.

Dr. Brock of the University of British Columbia also completed the geological survey of the New Territories during the spring, so that the final report thereon may be expected shortly.

Several finds of ancient stone axeheads and pottery were made on Lantao Island by Dr. Heanley; these are of great archaeological interest and should help to throw light on the early history of South China.

A monograph on the subject by Dr. Heanley is in course of publication.

1st March, 1928.

E. I. WYNNE-JONES,

District Officer, South.
