The answer, however, as now given does not state any particulars as to the beam of vessels which can be accommodated either at Holt's Wharf or Kowloon Wharves, or at the buoys.

(4). It will further be seen that in answer to Question I have now inserted two extracts from Mr. Chatham's Memorandum. It appears to me that the information ought to be given in order to make the position of the harbour clear. I should be glad to know whether the Colonial Government concur in the answer as it now stands. Possibly it may be thought desirable to omit the reference to difficulties with the Chinese Customs and other Authorities.

(5). I notice that no alteration has been made in the note on page 8 of the print. May I assume that this is correct?

With reference to paragraph 2 of the Governor's despatch of 26th August I hope to be able to arrange for six copies of the print of information respecting Ports and Harbours of the British Empire to be forwarded to him when it is revised.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient servant,

E. J. Harington

Secretary of the Commission.

Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.
