I enclose copy of a report which

was made in March last to the Indian Government in answer

to enquiries on the subject of Indian emigration from Hong-

623 Indians passed through Hongkong en route for Victoria,

British Columbia. These men had all paid their passage

money direct from Calcutta to Victoria, British Columbia,

at Calcutta.
