a further report from Major Palmer R.E., and a report from Mr Bowdler the Acting Surveyor General

on the proposed "Observatory and the Salary of the Director.

I think the practical suggestions in those two reports are worthy of Your Lordship's favourable consideration.

When I receive Your Lordship's permission to lay the foundation-stone, I propose naming the Observatory, the Kang Hi Observatory, as a mark of respect to the Emperor of China who showed us much sympathy for scientific research in his day, and who built the modern part of the Observatory that still exists at Peking.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most Obedient,

Humble Servant,

Referrers
