where occupies the attention of the villagers of the im Long division. The cultivation of oysters is also carried on to a large extent, especially in Deep Bay.
Lime burning is an important industry, coral and oyster-shells being burnt in place of limestone. The largest lime burning works seen were near Castle Peak Bay, where coal brought from Hongkong was being used as fuel. Lime was also being burnt at Tai-po-hau, Jan-kok-tsui, Man, Ping Shan, Sha Tin, and other places visiting that area. It is understood that a great deal of the lime used in building is imported from the San-on district.
The manufacture of bricks and the quarrying of stones enable the inhabitants to obtain building material at a cheap rate. Salt is manufactured in several places. Salt pans were seen at Tai Kok and Castle Peak Bay.
