the Hongkong Birth Certificate the following statement:-

"This Certificate is not available for the purpose of

I should also be glad if instructions could be given to Consular Officers in China to furnish this Government with a statement of the names of all persons from this Colony who have been registered as British subjects together with a descrip- -tion of the document on which such registration was effected.

Sir,

Your most obedient,

humble servant,

Amaz

Governor,&c..
