Sir,

Among the enclosures to your letter of 30th ultimo, relative to the extension of British Territory at Hong Kong, was a map, which was attached to Mr J.H.S. Lockhart's Report, and which was described as follows:-

"Sun-on district,

"Kwangtung province.

"Drawn from actual observations made by an Italian Missionary of the Propaganda, May 1866. Engraved by

"F.A. Brockhaus, Leipzig".

2. An attempt has been made through the Engraver to obtain a further copy of the map, for retention in the Hydrographic Department of this Office, where it would be very useful in the amendment of Admiralty Charts, but without success; I am therefore commanded by My Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to request that you will move Mr Secretary Chamberlain to cause steps to be taken to obtain a copy if possible.

3. This perhaps might be effected through the Governor of Hong Kong.

The Under

Secretary of State,

COLONIAL

OFFICE.

I am,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

Evan ...
