survey work to fall so seriously into arrear that it has not

yet been found possible to overtake it.

In addition to Collinson's map, which was on a scale of

4 inches to the mile, there were in existence plans of various

portions of the Colony, such as the City of Victoria, the Hill

District, Kowloon, the principal villages, &c., but in most

cases these had been produced in a piecemeal fashion and were

far from accurate. As will be seen from the following state-

ment no umiformity of scale had been observed in the prepara-

tion of these plans:-

City of Victoria

Kill District

Kowloon .***

Aberdeen Village

Shaukivan Village

1* = 160 feet.

1* = 250 fast.

1/2500 or 1* = 208.35 ft.

= 40 feet.

1 - 50 feet.

The above remarks refer to the Colony proper. In the case

of the New Territories, ceded in 1898, a map had been prepared

by a Survey Party from India during the years 1899-1904 but

so many of the traverse points have since been destroyed by

the native population, who were unfriendly at first to British

rule, that it was found impracticable to utilize it in the pre-

paration of the new maps and as all filling in had been done

by plane table it was not possible to replot the survey.

Here again the mistake of variety of scales was repeated,

those employed being different from any of the plans previously

produced. A considerable area was plotted on a scale of 16* =

1 mile (1′′ - 330 feet), but, as this was found to be too small

to be applicable to many parts, a scale of 32" = 1 mile (1′′ =

165 feet) was adopted for the remainder.

After full consideration of the matter, it was decided

that the new Ordnance Maps should be plotted on scales of 200

feet and 50 fest = 1 inch, the latter being only used for po-

pulous areas or where early development of the country might
