with a report describing the practice followed in your

Consulate-General with respect to the registration of Consulate

Chinese claiming to be british subjects and stating whether

registration is granted to persons born in the Colony of

Hongkong of Chinese parents merely on the production of a

Hongkong birth certificate or if the privilege is restricted

in such cases to applicants who produce the certificate, of

which a copy was enclosed in Sir E. Satow's Circular of the

22nd. August 1904, and which contains a statement to the

effect that the holder has resided in the Colony for three

years immediately previous to the date of issue.

in Hongkong of Chinese parents who are registered in your

Consulate-General. specifying if possible, those who have Consulate

been reg stered on the production of Hongkong birth certi-

ficates only or other evidences of British nationality, end

those to whom the privilege has been awarded on the strength

of their possessing Hongkong Eritish-born certificates as
