8. The present rule as to superannuation is that in the case of ill-health an officer holding a pensionable appointment may be allowed to retire on a pension after ten full years' resident service; otherwise he must have attained the age of 55. For ten full years' resident service fifteen-sixtieths of the average annual salary of the retiring officer's fixed appointments for three years prior to retirement may be awarded, to which one-sixtieth may be added for each additional year's service; but no addition will be made in respect of any service beyond 35 years. For pension purposes absence on full-pay leave counts as full service, and leave on half-pay as half service.

9. Hong Kong is one of a number of islands situated off the south-eastern coast of China, at the mouth of the Canton river. The island is an irregular ridge, stretching nearly east and west; its broken and abrupt peaks rising to the height of nearly 2,000 feet above the sea level. It is separated from the mainland of China by a narrow strait known as the Lyeemun Pass, which does not exceed half a mile in width. The opposite peninsula of Kowloon (2 square miles) was ceded to Great Britain by a treaty entered into by Lord Elgin in 1861 with the Government of China, and now forms part of the Colony. The temperature has a yearly range of from 45° to 99°, but it occasionally falls below 40°. The wet season begins in May, after showers in March and April, and continues until the beginning of August. During this period rain falls almost without intermission. The rainfall varies greatly, but the mean is about 90 inches,
