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 Vistoria, the Hill

District, Kowloon, the principal villages, 30., 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-

The above remarks refer to the Colony proper. In the c330

of the New Territories, ceded in 1899, 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 dons

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 33* = 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 feet = 1 inch, the latter being only used for po-

pulous areas or where early development of the country night
