Hong Kong Annual Administration Reports, 1841-1941

The statistics given under Climate were obtained from various sources prior to 1884 when the Observatory at Kowloon was established.

The Population statistics prior to 1869 are exclusive and for that and subsequent years inclusive of the Army and Navy in the Colony. Except for the years 1904 and 1905, when the population of New Kowloon, i.e., of the New Territories South of the Kowloon Hills, is included, these statistics do not take those Territories into consideration. The population of the New Territories according to the Census taken in 1901 was 102,254 of which 17,243 were in New Kowloon.

Under Public Instruction the figures given from the year 1875 onward show the number of Grant-in-Aid Schools in place of the number of Mission Schools, and the average daily attendance in place of the total number of scholars, as the progress of education is considered to be thereby more correctly indicated. In the earlier years the total number of schools under European supervision and of scholars enrolled in them are alone available.

The statistics under the heading Public Order require no comment. Those under Defence referring to regular troops are taken from returns by the Principal Medical Officer.
