land South of the Kowloon hills shall take in not only cultivated land and houses, but all land, claimed or not, up to the point where the hills commence to be precipitous.

I am glad to be able to add that according to Mr. Newland's estimate the cost of the proposed re-survey will be more than covered by the amount originally estimated for the completion of the survey. The total expenditure to the 31st May has been $104,765, and Mr. Newland estimates the further expenditure at $73,566. The total cost will thus be $178,351, whereas the total estimated cost as stated in this year's Estimates was $212,000. Mr. Newland's estimate includes everything except the cost of the publication of the map.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient

Humble servant,

P.y. Gassigne

Major-General,

Administering the Government.
