With regard to your letter No 17005/1905 of the

24th ultimo on the subject of the desirability of a re-

survey of Victoria Harbour, Hong kong, i am commanded by my

Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to acquaint you, for

the information of Mr Secretary Lytteison trat as the exist-

ing charts of the harbour are amply sufricient for the re-

quirements of H.M. Ships they are not prepared to contribute

to the expense of such a survey as is contemplated.

in regard to the request in par: 8 ́of the letter abow

quoted that copies of certain charts may be supplied to the

Colonial Office, I am to state that photographie copies of

all charts giving surveys with a fixed datum have been pre-

pared and are forwarded herewith.

The plans &c which accompanied your letter are return-

edn herewith as requested.

pcretary of State,
