In conclusion, we must express our extretne surprise that, whatever the opi- Dion of the Cominities as regards the river and coast porte, Hainan is passed over in total silence. No question as Pearls transit dues, transport, railways, or the navigation of inland waters by steamers, need form an obstacle to its being included in the list of either open It is needless to or sabsidiery ports. advert to the interesting details which have lately been made public. But we would remind the Chamber that, while the opening of Hainan may not possess great importance for some of the many leading firms of the Colony, there yet remain a farge number anxious and able to cultivate the commercial relations with

an island so rich in metallurgical produs
