and Roads Offices. In Hong Kong 43 frontage lines to streets were checked and in Kowloon and New Kowloon 159. Boundaries of 112 lots in Hong Kong and 156 lots in Kowloon and New Kowloon were defined and in addition in the latter neighbourhoods 30 areas were defined which were to be let on permit for various periods and 224 sites for pigsties.
On the Praya East Reclamation, roads were set out to a length of over 8,000 feet and permanent marks were left by means of piles which were driven into the Reclamation. A nail was driven into the top of each pile and valued so that any future setting out can be readily undertaken. Considerable time was lost on setting out lots in this locality as it was found that pickets, even when surrounded by concrete, were pulled out of the loose ground and many times had to be replaced.
A contour survey of Waglan Island was made and plotted to a scale of 20 feet to one inch with vertical intervals of 5 feet. This survey also included details of all buildings and high and low water marks.
An area of 30 acres at Cape D'Aguilar was also contoured.
Mount Collinson Forestry Reserve with an area of 328 acres was defined, the chainage being 3.8 miles.
Various surveys were carried out in connection with the transference of land between the War Department and the Hong Kong Government, the total area surveyed being 59 acres.
Fifty acres were surveyed and contoured between Argyle Street and the Kowloon Cemeteries. The "measured mile" in Kowloon Bay was checked for the Harbour Department and the marks defining same proved to be in their correct positions.
The reservoirs of the Kowloon Tong Estate and the Catchment area appertaining thereto were surveyed, the area being about 63 acres. An area of about 72 acres adjoining the catchment was also surveyed.
A survey of Kowloon Bay Reclamation was carried out and a plan prepared showing the area and the villages etc. up to the foot-hills on a scale of 32 inches to one mile, the area surveyed being 183 acres.
23. Boundary Stones.-Stones were fixed to define the boundaries of 58 lots in Hong Kong and 224 lots in Kowloon and New Kowloon,
