both races are represented. This by Cantonese ; though Hakkas are a hardy and frugal race and are generally found in the hill districts, their chief pursuits being agriculture and quarrying.

The Tanka or boat people form the floating population of which it has not been possible to obtain an estimate except in the case of the islands where they have been included in the general population. They form a class by themselves, are looked down upon by the land population. They inhabit the creeks, harbours, islands and the sea. They are good sailors and very clever in the handling of junks and small craft. They are also largely engaged in fishing.

On the whole they may be regarded as an industrious, frugal and well-behaved people. During the inspection of the territory they gave little trouble.
