The bastion parapet of the horn-work may be removed, and its place supplied on one side of the entrance by a small laboratory, and on the other by an artillery store. A cement tank for water may be constructed under the terreplein of the 7" battery. I do not recommend that any permanent barrack should be constructed iu! the work itself, but only a guardhouse in the redan. All the buildings in Singapore are very open, and a wooden fabric with attap roof is all that is required here. The interior space in the battery is limited, and any buildings constructed therein would be much hotter and more unhealthy than if erected on the adjacent slopes of Mount Iber. In time of war, temporary leantos could be constructed along the line of the gorge wall for the shelter of the garrison on duty.
