less it is correct, so far as it is done. The number of trigonometrical and intersected points is far too small to be of much service for the future preparation of a real large-scale survey. It will be useful to record the latitude and longitude of the several points exactly. There appears, however, to be grave doubt as to whether the points have been carefully and permanently marked on the ground, so that they can be identified with precision, in case of extensions or amplification of the survey.
Together, I am of the opinion that the survey of the New Territories leaves much to be desired. It is a topographical sketch, and by no means a survey. However, the trigonometrical work can be made available as the backbone of a more detailed survey in the future.
I can say that, owing to the doubt as to the possibility of identifying the points on the ground, any that can be identified should be marked in a permanent manner, and full descriptions of their positions should be recorded in a book, kept in the office of the Director of Public Works.
