Hongkong, 25th. April, 1908.

I have the honour to transmit for

Your Lordship's consideration the enclosed copy of letter

addressed on the 17th. instant by Dr. J. Bell, Dr. J. C. ———

Thomson, and Dr. W. V. M. Koch to the Principal Civil

Medical Officer, requesting that their present official

designation as "Assistant Surgeong" should be altered.

2.

I sympathize with the objection

which these Officers have to a designation which is used

in India for subordinate locally-trained native officers,

several of whom are now regularly employed in this Colony

attached to Indian Regiments, and I have the honour to

request Your Lordship's approval of the following altera-

-tions in the titles of the Officers of the Medical

Department, viz.:-

(a), that Medical Officers with 10 years'

service in the Colony should be

describe as "Senior Medical Officers".

RIGHT HONOURABLE

THE EARL OF CRIFE,
