It will be noticed that considerable

additions have been made to the Report this year as compared

with those of preceding years. A more detailed account is given

of the work done by the Registrar-General in his capacity of

Protector of Chinese. The tables dealing with the subject of

the protection of women and girls have been re-arranged and

considerably enlarged. Tables showing the number of boats of

various classes licensed by the Department, the work done under

the Vaccination Ordinance, the changes of Chinese tenancy during

the year, and the various articles sold by hawkers in the

Colony, have been added. It would be an advantage if the bulk

of the report could be reduced without taking away from the

information it contains. Attention will be paid to this in

next year's compilation.

I have the honour to be,

sir,

Your most obedient

Humble servant,

M. Nathan

Governor, &0.......
