who is hereafter transferred to the Straits Settlements or the Federated Malay States, may be allowed to elect to come under the sterling scheme when so transferred. This answers the second part of Sir H. Blake's despatch of the 11th of December last.

4. Information on some other general questions not disposed of by previous correspondence is contained in the despatch to the Straits Settlements of which a copy is enclosed. I also forward a copy of another despatch on the subject of the rate at which sterling salaries should be converted into dollars for purposes of local payments. The final decision on this point will, of course, await Sir F. Swettenham's reply; in the meantime the arrangement proposed in paragraph 10 of Sir H. Blake's despatch of 11th December should remain in force.

5. As regards those recommendations of the Sterling Salaries Committee which affect the calculation of pensions, I am addressing you.
