Consider it desirable that land required for Railway Station, jetties, shops, &c. and for line of railway in neighbourhood of Kowloon should be demarcated before any further disposal of Government rights to lands and foreshore there. For this purpose and to further consider alternative routes for line of railway in British territory, desirable that experienced railway engineer should be sent out as soon as possible. If this line (is) to be constructed by Government of Hong Kong, selection of railway engineer should be made by Consulting Engineers to whom he would submit plans. If line (is) to be constructed by Company, they should abide by decision of Government of Hongkong as to route and site of buildings &c. Railway engineer should consult with Chatham and Lieutenant Bagnell-Wild before sailing.
