of work done by them on behalf of the Registrar General. At first the duties required were restricted, so far as the Registrar Gen- -eral was concerned, to the examination and inspection of coolies leaving Hongkong for South Africa; while those delegated to the Harbour Master, in his capacity as Emigration Officer, had to do, ir in addition, with the fitting out, equipment, and provisioning of the vessels employed as Emigrant Ships, as well as the supply of doctors, cooks, interpreters, medicines, surgical appliances, and sanitary and cooking arrangements. Two lots, only, of emigrants sailed from Hongkong to South Africa, after which the Viceroy of the Two Kwang declined to permit any further recruiting, and the remainder of the many thousands required were recruited, and em- -barked, in North China. The performance of the duties for which the Registrar General was receiving his allowance was, therefore, discontinued for many months, though his allowance continued to be paid to him; my extra duties continued without intermission, for the ships sailed as frequently as ever, and had to be inspected, as before, each time they arrived at Hongkong, which they each voyage. There was no lessening of the duties performed on behalf of the Transvaal Government by the Emigration officer, by reason of the embarkation of the emigrants elsewhere, as his inspection of the coolies before and after embarkation in Hongkong is a part of his ordinary duties under the Hongkong Emigration Ordinance. Subsequently, the coolies began to return from South Africa in small numbers, and the Registrar General resumed his special duties. The ships were now carrying coolies both ways, but the one inspection of the ships, at Hongkong, sufficed for the double journey. Later, the emigration was stopped, but the voyages (and the consequentextra duties devolving upon the Emigration Officer) continued with the same frequency, for the purpose of re- : -patriating the coolies. The duties of the Registrar General now began in earnest, for he had to make all arrangements for the return of the South China coolies, and their money, to their native villages. Finally, when the repatriation of the South China coolies was nearly completed, the Transvaal Government, acting, as I suppose, under a misapprehension of the facts, wrote announcing their intention of discontinuing all allowances as from
