must first produce a certificate of British mationality.

A registration certificate, with a Chinese translation of

the English words and containing their name in Chinese

characters endorsed on the back, is handed to them, their

certificate of nationality being retained in this office.

Should they wish to leave Chine, their certificate of nation-

certificate; the latter is retained so long as it is

current and handed over to them free of charge in exchange

for the certificate of nationality should they return

to Swatow during its period of validity.

With regard to the description on the registration

certificate as "British subject" or "Eritish protected per-

son", I endeavour to follow the wording of the certificate

of nationality. All who are thereon described as ïritish-

afforded full protection as such. Those who are stated to have been born in and to be the subjects of a British pre- tected state such as Sarawak, or who, being formerly Chin- ese subjects, have become British subjects by naturalisation, are registered as "British protected persons" and are warned that their claim to British protection will be can- celled should they avail themselves of their Chinese par- entage to embark on any enterprise forbidden by Treaty to
