ments-75000 canes). Narcissus Tazetta L.-to Great Britain (1 consignment-320 bulbs), to India (3 consignments-4820 bulbs), to Honolulu (12 consignments-17,800 bulbs). Exports were affected by the Sino-Japanese hostilities and were appreciably less than in former years.

55. Goats-In order to maintain control in the matter of goat-keeping in relation to agriculture and afforestation generally, regulations under the Forestry Ordinance (Ordinance No.11 of 1937) provide that no goats may be kept without the written consent of the Superintendent, Botanical & Forestry Department. In accordance with instructions received from H.E. The Governor, a goat census has been made with the following results-Hong Kong 68, Kowloon 120, New Territories 260-Total 448. In addition, a stock of approximately 500 head is maintained at the Kennedy Town slaughter house, for the provision of meat for the goat-meat section of the local meat market.

SEED COLLECTION AND EXCHANGE

56. Seed Collection-In connection with departmental requirements and requests for seed, collections were made in the forest areas of 53 species of trees and shrubs.

57. Exchange The Department is indebted to the following donors of seeds, plants, etc. Africa: The Director, The Aburi Agricultural Station, Gold Coast; Australia: The Director, Department of Agriculture, N.S.W.; British Guiana: The Director, Department of Agriculture, Georgetown; India: The Curator, Royal Botanic Gardens, Calcutta; Malaya: The Director, Botanic Gardens, Singapore; Asst.

Li, Peiping; West Indies: Superintendent, Atkins Institution, Cuba; Local: Lady Northcote, Mr. Kwok Ping Lau.

58. The following were the principal recipients:--Australia: The Director of Plant Breeding, Department of Agriculture, Sydney; British West Indies: The Director of Agriculture, Jamaica; The Director of Agriculture, Trinidad; Ceylon: The Director, Tea Research Institute of Ceylon; Egypt: The Director, Horticultural Section, Ministry of Agriculture, Giza; Great Britain: Lord Aberconway, Bodnant; India: M.K.

Goddard, Messrs. H. S. Jones and Kwok Ping Lau.

REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE

59. Statements of revenue and expenditure of the department are given in Tables II, III & IV. The reduction in timber sales is entirely due to the alteration in procedure regarding outturn. Previously, a timber contractor was employed and the terms of his contract included the extraction of timber and payment to Government at agreed rates for the timber so extracted. No timber contractor was employed during 1938, the timber being extracted by the department and passed direct to the Stores Department. The sum ($843.42) appearing under this head was derived from small timber sales authorised by Government. It will be noted that figures under revenue include the estimated wholesale value of timber handed to the Stores Department. Figures for this were 2027.59 tons (avoirdupois) valued at approximately $35,000. Factors affecting this outturn were (i) damage to forest areas by the typhoons of 1936 and 1937 and (ii) the higher value of firewood due to the disturbed local conditions.
