        "content_text": "having in its neighborhood some vast stone quarries.- From \"Soo-ke-wan\" a native foot-path, sufficiently good to ride on, leads to \"Tai-tam,\" which is at present a place of little note-though situated at the head of an ex- tensive and deep bay of that uame. \n\n: \n\nOn the west side of the southernmost point of \"Tai- tam\" bay there is a little cové called \"Chek-chu,\" the resort of large fleets of fishing boats, and the site of a con- siderable town with a population of about 2000 souls,~ having a very good bazaar, an expensive rope walk, and shops well stocked to supply the wants of Chinese sea- faring people. \n\nIt is at this place the government have determined on erecting a barrack for two or three hundred men, and where one capable of holding a hundred is now in an advanced state towards completion. A branch of the \n\nTai-tam\" road will lead to this town. \n\nTracing one's steps westward as if continuing round the island, one at length comes to \"Heongkong\" proper, a small agricultural village situated in a remarkably pret ty, and the most extensive valley on the island. \"Shek- pae-wan,\" often called by the Chinese \"Heongkong, Shek-pae-wan,\" would seem to be the sea port of Hong- kong proper, and to have once been a more flourishing place than it now is. There is here, on an isolated spot the largest Chinese temple to be found on any part of the island. The port of \"Shek-pae-wan,\" though small, is nearly land-locked; and having both a northern and a southwestern entrance, it is pretty easy of ingress and egress. An island of about two miles in circumference, called \"Tap-lee-chow\" protects it from southwest to north, and the island of Hongkong completes the circle. There is abundance of water for a line-of-battle ship, and is only fault is in being too small as an anchorage for many European vessels, yet there may be nearly as much anchoring ground in it as in the Inner Harbour of Macao. There is at present a small detachment of the Madras native iufantry with two officers and one doctor stationed at this place; and the road has been projected and parti- ally finished, from \"Kwun-tai-loo\" to it across the hills, \n\n■ distance of 3 to 4 miles. \n\nThere are other villages on the island, but as no pub- lic works are carrying on, at or near them, at the present date, it has not been thought necessary in this short sketch to make mention of them. \n\nVarious materials have been used in building. At the commencement no one thought of anything better than houses constructed of fan palm leaf, called by the Chinese kwai, the next stage, was having them boarded and made with doors and windows that could open and shat; then occasionally was found one room of brick, and the rest of the house of the aforementioned description. The first who set the example of a stone and brick house, was Mr. Matheson; government soon after commenced the magis- tracy and prison, others followed in their train, and now few Europeans think of a palm leaf house, except with cer- tain forebodings of fever and ague. \n\nSome wooden houses have been imported from Singapore, and are at present being erected upon a lower story of stone; but for large buildings such as barracks, where space and solidity (should no objection on the score of wholesomeness exist) are the principal considerations, a material made of the common soil or disintegrated rock of the place, sifted and mixed with lime, and then pounded between >trong boards into solid walls, seems to be as good as any- thing else, and costs about half what brick or stone would do. From the great thickness of the walls, also, this ma- terial is better adapted for keeping out the heat in suru- mer and the cold in winter; but it must be covered in- side and out with a thick coating of plaster. This being well done, and care taken in having the material well mixed and pounded together, there is every reason to expect that a building so constructed will last a very long time, and indeed attain additional solidity the older it becomes. \n\n| \n\nrope. \n\nmaterial is called ni-cheun by the Chinese at Hongkong, taipa by the Portuguese at Macao, and the manner of making it answers to the description of the pisé of Eu- Stone is, however, best adapted for building near the sea, and it will be found to cost as little as brick. \n\nSome wood has been brought from Singapore and Manila, but as it is dearer than Chinese wood now, and requires much more labour to work it, the latter seems to be preferred. Nothing but cheapness would induce one to use the Manila and Singapore wood for other purposes than floorings, as it is excessively heary; and for roofs the Chinese timber will last as long as the tiles. \n\nThe productions of the Island are at present not very numerous. Round most of the villages both on the northr and the south side of the island are found very fine Mango trees. The \"Lichee,\" the Longan,\" the Orange, and the Pear-trees seem also to thrive very well, the soil being deep between the rocks, and, (according to the opinion of some of the gardeners from the gardens near Canton) of an excellent quality for trees of every sort, some of which have been already planted. There is not much rice-cultivation on the Island, and what there is, being only on the level parts, is likely soon to be discontinued for the cultivation of vegetables more sought after by Europeans, or to be purchased and turned into spots for building upon. \n\nSweet potatoes, and a few of the other Chinese vegetables are likewise grown; and, doubtless, when the agricultural part of the inhabitants begin to find a demand for other than Chinese vegetables, others will be produced. Some small additional patches of ground on different parts of the Island, previously unproductive, have since its occupation by the English been brought into cultivation. Fish is abundant, and much of it is cured at \"Chek-chu,\" as well as at other fishing villages. \n\nOwing to the Roads and paths that have already been eut, parts of the Island are now easily got at where for- merly it was difficult to go; and the dry coarse grass and fern which abounds in the bills is brought down in large quantities, and with such facility as to render it cheaper, combined with other circumstances, for Chinese boats to careen at Hongkong, than at any neighbouring places. The grass and fern are need by the Chinese for killing the insects that have eaten into the bottoms of their boats. \n\nMany little arts are now practised among the working portions of the population, which three months ago were not known at Hongkong. Every house that is building of stone gives employment to an itinerant blacksmith, who is required to point the stone cutter's tools. Mattrass- makers may also be seen cleansing their cotton with their oddly constructed bow-and hawkers of every description ahound, as well as the various sort of fortune-tellers, jugglers, quacks, and actors, that are seen in all well populated Chinese towns. \n\nLime-kilns have necessarily increased, and there are many places where the soil is adapted for bricks, so that we may some day see the art of brick making introduced. Tanning is likewise carried on pretty extensively, and the cattle that are consumed by the European classes. afford the hides. \n\nThe Population has often been estimated at about 15.000 souls, and it is probable this number is by no means an over-estimate. Until the population, however, gets regularly fixed, it will not be easy to obtain a censur. They are bard-working, industrious, and cheerful, as the Chinese usually are; and they appear to be too much en- gaged with their own affairs to have time for idleness and graver crimes--which of late have been anything but of frequent occurrence among them.. \n\nThere are not more than a dozen horses un the island, \n\nand one carriage; a few small flocks of sheep and some goats, Cattle for the consumption of the Europeans are easily obtained, and some of the cows have been found to afford rather a good supply of rich milk, when taken care of and fed with grain. \n\nThe ancient houses at Macao as well as the Many of the complaints about excessive heat, and ex- walls of the city are made of this material; and the Chi-cessive cold and dreadful uuhealthiness, are being for- \n\nnese may occasionally be seen, when it is required to gatten, except among those who have little else to occupy pull some part of one of them down, cutting out bits of it their attention-amidst the general bustle and activity of with wedges and pickaxes, as if it were stone.

        "content_text": "## Step 1: Review the given text for OCR errors and formatting issues.\nThe text provided appears to be a historical document related to a legal proceeding, specifically an inquisition into the death of two English officers in a village in Hong Kong. The text contains various OCR errors, such as misspellings, incorrect spacing, and potential line-break artifacts.\n\n## Step 2: Identify and correct spelling errors.\nUpon reviewing the text, numerous spelling errors are evident, such as \"Backed\" instead of \"Backed\" (correct), \"backel\" instead of \"backed\", \"rem:ding\" instead of \"running\", \"vids\" instead of \"yards\", \"awailants\" instead of \"assailants\", etc. These need to be corrected to their proper spellings.\n\n## Step 3: Fix spacing issues and hyphenation or line-break artifacts.\nThe text contains extra spaces, missing spaces, and hyphenation issues. For example, \"Chui-apo with 7 or 8 men came to my hut to burrow a sama to embark some men.\" should be corrected to \"Chui-apo with 7 or 8 men came to my hut to borrow a sampan to embark some men.\" and \"I tent them my sanipat;\" should be \"I lent them my sampan;\".\n\n## Step 4: Rejoin broken sentences and restore paragraph breaks.\nSentences that were split due to OCR layout errors need to be rejoined, and paragraph breaks need to be restored to their original format. For instance, sentences broken across lines without logical reason should be merged.\n\n## Step 5: Indicate missing words due to OCR damage.\nIf a word is clearly missing, it should be indicated with `...`. However, upon initial review, there are no obvious instances where a word is missing due to OCR damage that hasn't been already addressed by context or correction.\n\n## Step 6: Format the text in Markdown.\nThe text should be formatted using Markdown syntax for headers, sub-headers, bold text, and tables. Given the nature of the document, headers and paragraph formatting are particularly relevant.\n\n## Step 7: Ensure file references are correctly formatted.\nFile references should not have spaces inside parentheses, e.g., `XCR(85)72` is correct.\n\n## Step 8: Preserve page numbering information.\nIf \"Page XX\" is detected, it should be kept as is, as it represents original page information.\n\n## Step 9: Reorder newspaper texts if necessary and reconstruct tables.\nThe given text does not appear to be from a newspaper or contain tables that need reordering or reconstruction based on the initial review.\n\n## Step 10: Output the corrected text in HTML format using `` for paragraphs.\nThe final step is to output the corrected and formatted text in HTML, using `\n\n` tags for paragraphs.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\n7.\n\nJ\n\n0\n\n307\n\nBacked out of the house. They did not attempt to go away before. They were not wounded in the house. When they backed out, they were followed by their assailants and then wounded. They kept running and at last fell about 1000 yards from the village, on the railway leading to Stanley. The wounds they received were mortal. I saw them dying. They were not far from each other. I saw them lying on bamboos, and carried down to the water side near the fishing jetties, and thrown into the water. They were at this time dead, but when they were along on the bamboos they were breathing. When they fell, some of their assailants went back to the village for bamboos and ropes. It was dark when they fell. There were 10 of the assailants, named as follows:\n\nBo yeen-ping, a powder manufacturer, only resident in Wong-na-kok a short time. I think from Wong-kong in Kwei-chuen.\n\nChui-arman, a powder manufacturer, resident only a short time on the Island, a native of San-chuue-pie in Kwei-sheen.\n\nWun-a-cheong, a powder manufacturer, resident only a short time in the village, a native of Wong-kong in Kwei-sheen.\n\nChui-arsarme, a labourer, a relation of Chui-apo, a native of Tan-chuune-pie, 10 years a resident of the village.\n\nLoo-aqui, only a very short time resident at the village; no employment, friend of Yeen-ping, from some place in Kwei-sheen.\n\nChoy-a-hing, 2 or 3 years resident of the village; a labourer, from Nu-...\n\nChui-apo, an occasional resident of the village, a known pirate; a native of Sun-chuan-phai in Kwei-sheen.\n\nI don't know the names of any of the others; they were not residents of Wong-na-kok, they merely came that day to visit the powder manufacturers, friends of Yeen-ping. I correctly identify at least 10 that were concerned in the murder. Chui-apo had the handling of the murdered officers. I did not see any one take their watches or rings. He was the ring leader in the fray. When the officers entered the village, I saw that they carried sticks. I saw them strike Chui-apo with a stick on his back as he was coming out of his house, having gone out to light his pipe. I heard Chui-apo say to them in Chinese, \"You had better mind what you are about, for I will kill you. I have done nothing to you.\" The officers were drunk. They threw stones at everybody who stood to look at them. When they entered my father's house, I also went in. I remained there until the villagers came in armed. In the interval, I saw both my father and mother struck; blood was drawn from both of them. They were both struck on the head. They did not call in the villagers to their assistance; they came of their own accord. All the villagers were looking on during the conflict - over 20. My father and mother called out to the villagers to assist. My mother is now in Stanley. My sister-in-law has gone to Little Hongkong to her mother's. The family name is Cheen. Cheen-ur-ching is the name of my sister-in-law.\n\nLO-YANG-SHING, a native of Hongkong. [This man was taken to Stanley by some officers. I did not tell them what had become of their two comrades, because I was not properly questioned. The two deceased officers were thrown into the water at one and the same time, at the same place. During the conflict, I particularly noticed Chui-apo and Chui-arman. I saw them stab the two officers with spears. I can't say where in the body they were stabbed. I cannot say in which hand the spears were held. Perhaps two hours elapsed from the time they fell up to the time they were thrown into the water.\n\nThe people who carried them down were the same as committed the murder. They were thrown into the water to avoid detection. I did not see any of the party burning the grass. Chui-apo was the man who struck the first blow. I don't know that any of the villagers were wounded. It was the small officer who caressed my sister-in-law - the one with whiskers. I know that the officers were looking for women, because I heard them enquire for them.\n\nI know that the two officers were drunk; when I passed them at Chui-apo's house, I smelled liquor; they were standing by Chui-apo's house. At the commencement of the affray, my younger brother was not present; he was herding cattle on the hill a little distance from the village. When the fight was over, he saw the others fall.\n\nA three-pronged spear is shown to the Deponent. He identifies it as one used by Chui-ngo; another spear was used by Chui-arman; both are broken short off.\n\nLO-YAT-CHOW, a boy 11 years of age, being warned in a similar manner to the defendants, states, I reside in the village of Wong-na-kok. On Sunday last, the 25th February, I was engaged in tending cattle. During the evening, I was returning with them. I saw my sister-in-law carrying two bundles of value into one basket. I saw two English officers in the village. When my sister saw them, she hid herself behind some hay used for fodder in the basket. I went into said hay. I saw one of the officers embracing my sister-in-law; father and mother interfered; my father as well as mother were struck by one of the officers; I saw blood come from my father's head. I did not see any of the villagers go into my father's house armed with spears. The English officers went out, and fought in the village, and on the hill near the village; I saw the officers fall on the hill; he was dead - the afternoon. I went to see him. I saw them both afterwards slung upon bamboos, and carried away. I don't know where they were taken to. The following Chinamen were concerned in the affray: Chui-arman, Wun-a-cheong, Chui-arsarme, Choy-a-hing, Chui-apo. The bodies of the officers were carried past the village, that is, through the village, by the same men who had murdered them. None of these in custody were concerned in the murder. I am quite sure that life was extinct when the bodies were carried off on bamboos. I did not see any of the Chinamen take any watch or rings from the deceased officers.\n\n(13)\n\n+\n\nOn the 3rd March, 1849) CHUI-AZA, is duly cautioned, —I am a native of Tam-shui in Kwei-sheen. I am a fortune-teller; I predict good and bad weather. On Sunday last, I was in the village of Wong-na-kok. On Sunday, the 25th of February, two English officers came into the village. I think they were drunk. They began to go into the various houses there, and assault their inmates. I did not see them go into Chui-apo's house; I saw them go into Lo-yaong-shing's. I do not know what took place there. I saw a fight going on in front of the village. Chui-apo and his men did not go into Lo-yang-shing's house. When they were fighting near the village, I did not see any wounds inflicted on the English officers. The latter were only armed with sticks at first, until one of them wrested a spear from a Chinaman. It was getting late in the evening, and I could not see the end of the struggle. Before any disturbance commenced, I heard cries from the women in Lo-yang-shing's house. It was then that the villagers armed themselves with spears and fought. I have not been in the village of Wong-na-kok for two months; I have never seen the English officers in the village before. When I was at Wong-na-kok, I lived in a room adjoining Chui-apo's. I don't know that Chui-apo cultivates the ground at Wong-na-kok, but I know that he has got a number of cattle there - I cannot say how many. I am 65 years of age.\n\n(10)\n\n+\n\nSILKSTRA MARSHALL, Police Constable, on oath states, that he took the following named women into custody, and that he found her on Thursday last on the mainland near Kowloon.\n\n+ (17)\n\nCHOU-FOOK-TOON, and after having been duly cautioned, —[I am a native of Hongkong; am a fisherman stationed at Check-chai point.

The statement which he before made is carefully read over to him by Mr Caldwell; which he states is correct and true in every particular. He is now sworn as to its correctness; and further attests on oath.] - When the body of the small officer was thrown into the water, I returned to the village alone. Chui-apo and his men returned also to the village. They left shortly afterwards, on hearing the voice of foreigners. They went to Stanley - I don't know whether by water or land. [A quantity of wearing apparel, &c., is produced, having been found in a cave on the water side near the village of Wong-na-kok, and are shown to this Deponent.] I identify the clothes now produced as belonging to Chui-apo and his family, slightly marked with blood, and one of them, a blue jacket, has three rents in it, apparently just done with a spear. Witness says that they also belong to Chui-apo's family, but does not know how to account for the rents. Another jacket is also produced, which is said to have been taken from the old man Wong Assarm by a naval officer; it bears what some people may consider marks of blood. Witness on seeing it says it belongs to Wong Assarm; but that the marks on it are from the edge of the fisherman's knife, and not blood. - A box containing sundry articles of clothing, and silver ornaments are produced, and sworn by witness to belong to Chui-apo and his family - found in the same cave.] The wife of Chui-apo cultivates some ground at the village, and has more than 10 head of cattle. I could point out scores of them.\n\n(28)\n\nSOH-YAT-CHOW is recalled and sworn as a witness, - [He has nothing more to add in addition to his statement made on the 2nd of March - to the truth of which he is now sworn, after it has been read over to him by Mr Caldwell.]\n\nTaken before me on the date above written,\n\nCHARLES G.

I was in Wong-ma-kok on Sunday, the 25th of February last, but don't know what occurred there. I was sick in bed, and neither heard nor saw any occurrence. I left the village because the other people did. They left because the Police interfered. I don't know where Chui-apo has gone to. Chui-apo left me because I am too old for him. I am 63 years old.

The task is to proofread this text, correcting spelling errors, fixing spacing issues, rejoining broken sentences, and restoring paragraph breaks, all while preserving the original content and format as much as possible.\n\n## Step 2\nFirst, we need to identify and correct spelling errors. For example, \"Wongkong\" should be \"Hongkong\", \"sh. 1000j€rawa\" should be \"sh. 1000\", and \"Brit. bk 670 Dod\" should be \"Brit. bk 670 Dod\" (no change needed here, but \"Brit.\" is an abbreviation for \"British\" which is correct). \"Dut. 764 ric\" should be \"Dut. 764\", and \"Earl of Windeer\" should be \"Earl of Windsor\".\n\n## Step 3\nNext, we need to fix spacing issues. For instance, \"XCR (85)72\" should be \"XCR(85)72\", and \"GR 1178/1922/32 (III)\" should be \"GR1178/1922/32(III)\".\n\n## Step 4\nWe also need to rejoin broken sentences. The text contains many lines that are split due to OCR layout errors. For example, sentences that are broken across lines without a logical reason should be merged.\n\n## Step 5\nRestoring paragraph breaks is another crucial step. The OCR output may have incorrectly merged or split paragraphs. We need to format the text into proper paragraphs based on the content and logical breaks.\n\n## Step 6\nIndicate missing words with \"...\" if a word is clearly missing due to OCR damage.\n\n## Step 7\nThe text should be formatted in standard Markdown. This includes using headers (#, ##, ###), sub-headers, bold-type (**bold**), and tables using Markdown table syntax.\n\n## Step 8\nSince the text is a mix of different documents, including newspaper articles and court transcripts, we need to be careful not to rephrase or rewrite the content. The task is to correct errors and improve formatting without changing the style, tone, or word choice.\n\n## Step 9\nNo translation of text is required, and file references should not have any spacing inside parentheses.\n\n## Step 10\nPage numbering lines, if detected (usually six lines in total, three at the page beginning and three at the end), should be kept as they are, as they were originally used during scanning to delineate page metadata.\n\n## Step 11\nThe output should be in HTML using  for paragraphs and \n only if absolutely necessary.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\n324\n\n25\n\n[NO. 6.

Vega, His Excellency Major-General Donovan and Mrs. Donovan, Chief Justice Sir John Smale and Lady Smale, Commodore Smith, R.N., Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Marsh, Mrs. Pollock, Hon. J. Russell, Hon. P. Ryrie, Hon. M. S. Tonnochy, Colonel and Mrs. Geddes (27th Inniskillings), Surgeon-Major Max Grant, Mr. and Mrs. Taro Ando, Mr. F. D. Sassoon, Lieut. Bove (Vega), Dr. Almquist (Vega), Lieut. Nordquist (Vega), Lieut. Hovgaard (Vega), Dr. Stuxberg (Vega), Lieut. Drummond, A.D.C. to the General, and Mr. C. V. Creagh, Acting A.D.C. to the Governor.\n\nThe following, to whom invitations had been sent, were unable to attend -- Right Rev. Bishop and Mrs. Burdon, Right Rev. Bishop Raimondi, Hon. W. Keswick, and Col., Mrs., and Miss Hall. The band of the 27th Regiment was in attendance and played the following selection, under the direction of Herr Werner, bandmaster: Overture... \"Fra Diavolo\" Auber, Polka \"O Katchke\" Stasey, \"Swedish Air\" Anon., Selection \"Beatrice di Tenda\" Bellini, Valse \"First Roses\" Werner, Jun., Reminiscences of Ireland... Godfrey.\n\nAt the close of the dinner His Excellency the Governor proposed the toast of \"The Queen,\" which was most loyally received, the band playing the National Anthem.\n\nImmediately afterwards His Excellency rose and said- Professor Nordenskiöld: In the name of my Sovereign, Queen Victoria, I have the honour to welcome you and your companions to Her Majesty's dominions.\n\nSix centuries ago Marco Polo came from Europe to China. Two centuries later, the Portuguese crossed the Indian Ocean, entered these seas, and landed within a few miles of this Island, and subsequently the direct voyage across the Pacific was undertaken. The nineteenth century can now add to the roll of its triumphs the fourth and final route from Europe to Asia. It is our privilege to-night to behold the illustrious man who has done this-who left Europe fifteen months ago and is received by us after sailing through the Arctic Seas and accomplishing the North East passage. No generation to come can witness the completion of a voyage rivalling this. We be bold as it were in this remote outpost of Europe the writing of the last words in the last chapter of heroic maritime discovery.\n\nI congratulate the Sovereign of Sweden on the gallantry and success of His Majesty's sailors, led by Captain Palander and the officers of the Vega; I congratulate that great republic - the World of Science - on the achievement of one of her choicest citizens, Professor Nordenskiöld. Ladies and gentlemen, let us drink his health and that of his companions.\n\nHis Excellency's toast was received with enthusiasm, and the band played the Swedish National Air.\n\nProfessor Nordenskiold then rose and replied in Swedish. He has favoured us with the following translation: I have to thank your Excellency, on behalf of my comrades and myself, for the kind words you have used in proposing our healths, and the ladies and gentlemen present for the kind manner in which they have received the toast. Already to-day, in another place, I have had to thank the Inhabitants of Hongkong for the handsome way in which the Swedish expedition has been received in this Colony, and I then stated our visit here would be one of the pleasantest remembrances of the Vega's voyage. To your Excellency's guests on the present occasion I beg to repeat the same thing, but especially I have to thank your Excellency for the munificent hospitality you have extended to myself and Captain Palander at Government House, where we have been guests during our stay here. I now beg to propose the health of His Excellency the Governor and Mrs. Hennessy.\n\nThis toast was duly honoured.\n\n## Reception\n\nHis Excellency the Governor and Mrs. Hennessy held an \"at home\" and a brilliant and numerously attended reception after dinner, in honour of their distinguished guests.

Though there are some of you with whom I am not personally acquainted, I know that you are all gentlemen of position and influence among the large Chinese community of this colony. I am glad to see among you Mr. Fung Wa Cheun, who rendered such excellent services on the occasion of Her Majesty's Jubilee and whose intimate knowledge of English and whose acquaintance with European ideas and customs will be of great use to you and to the Government in dealing with the affairs of the Hospital. You are all aware that, ever since my arrival in Hongkong, I have taken a great interest in the Tung Wa Hospital and have tried to increase its usefulness by introducing into it very necessary reforms. I am pleased to learn that the Directors during the past year have operated with Dr. Thomson, whom I appointed as visiting surgeon to the Hospital, in effecting improvements, which have placed the Hospital in a more satisfactory condition than it has ever been before. For their exertions the Directors during the past year deserve the thanks of all those who are interested in the care of the indigent sick among the Chinese community.\n\nI trust the new Directors will not only follow the good example set by their predecessors but will press on rapidly the good work of reform. There is still room for improvement and I desire to call the attention of the new Directors to the following matters, which I trust they will deal with without delay. The Hospital is still without a steward. No Hospital can be kept in a really satisfactory condition without the services of such an officer, and I, therefore, desire you to appoint a steward as soon as you are able to secure a suitable person. The floors of all the six wards on the ground floor of the Hospital are paved with brick. This is not a satisfactory style of flooring; wood should be substituted. The Ko Fong wards still remaining are not worthy of the Hospital. They should all be removed with the exception of one row, which could be used for isolation wards. Instead of the Ko Fong wards, which should be removed, two blocks, each two storeys high, making four new wards, should be erected on the northern part of the site. The fire-places in some of the wards are not arranged in such a manner as to give sufficient heat. This should be rectified by abolishing the present fireplaces and placing stoves in the middle of the wards. The water-carriage system should also be introduced into the Hospital.\n\nMy attention has been called to the great mortality from fevers in the Tung Wa Hospital during the present year. I understand that formerly quinine was not used to any great extent in the treatment of fever patients, but that it has been used more frequently of late. I hope that you will make a point of seeing that a plentiful and regular use is made of this valuable drug, and I have instructed Dr. Thomson to furnish me with returns showing the extent to which quinine is used.\n\nThe matters I have just mentioned require immediate attention and I trust to hear shortly that the new Directors have commenced their term of office by taking steps to have these improvements introduced. To carry them out money will be required. I trust the funds of the Hospital will be sufficient to cover the expense, but, if extra funds are necessary, I am sure that some of the many rich Chinese residents in Hongkong who have made or are making comfortable fortunes in this colony, under the protection of the British flag, will come forward with subscriptions sufficient to meet the necessary expenditure, and thus earn for themselves a reputation for being men who rejoice in good works and whose charity extends to the poor and the sick.\n\nGentlemen, I am very glad to have had the pleasure of meeting you. This is the last time we shall meet in this colony as I leave you on the 1st February next. I feel sure that under your directorate the affairs of the Hospital will be carefully administered. Remember that \"Progress\" is the spirit of this age, and that those who try to act in opposition to that spirit are doomed to failure. The spirit of progress, so long absent from the Tung Wa Hospital, has at last commenced to show itself in that institution. It is your duty, gentlemen, to nourish that spirit into a healthy vitality in the interests of such of your countrymen in this colony as are too poor and too weak to care for themselves. In the discharge of that duty you can always rely on the encouragement and support of this Government.\n\nI wish you all good-bye, and I can assure you that though I may be thousands of miles from Hongkong I shall never forget it, or fail to pray for the success and prosperity of the colony and of all its inhabitants.\n\nMr. LAO TSZ-SHAN, in reply, said--Your Excellency, on behalf of the retiring Directors I have to thank your Excellency for the kind words you have just spoken. We have been endeavouring during the tenure of our office to do our utmost for the public benefit, but I am afraid we have not done all that we ought to have done.\n\nI am glad, however, that the management is left in better hands. We beg to avail ourselves of this opportunity to thank Your Excellency and Mr. Lockhart for your assistance and kind treatment.\n\nMr. FUNG WA CHEUN said-Your Excellency, on behalf of myself and the other members of the present Committee of the Tung Wa Hospital, I beg to thank your Excellency for condescending to receive us here to-day. We have listened with great interest to your Excellency's encouraging words, which have inspirited us. As to your Excellency's instructions for the improvement of the Hospital, we will do our humble best to see that your desires are carried out in a proper manner. We are very sorry to hear that your Excellency is about to leave us. The Chinese in this colony have always found in you a very kind Governor. They will all very much regret your departure. We venture to express hope that you may be long spared to enjoy health and prosperity.\n\nAs to the allusion to myself, I felt very highly flattered by Your Excellency's kind remarks. If I have rendered any service to the colony, it has been a pleasure and a privilege to me, and could not have been done without the support and assistance of many friends. I shall always be only too glad to do everything in my power to help in any matter connected with furthering the welfare of the colony. Sir, we again thank you for the audience you have granted us.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY then thanked Mr. Liao Tsz-Shan and Mr. Fung Wa Cheun for their kind remarks. He stated that he felt sure his wishes regarding the Tung Wa Hospital would be duly and properly carried out. During the six years he had been Governor of Hongkong, he had always received the loyal support of the respectable and wealthy Chinese of this colony. His Excellency then concluded by requesting those present to drink a glass of wine and proposed as a toast, \"Success to the Tung Wa Hospital and Prosperity to the Chinese Community.\"\n\nThe toast was drunk with enthusiasm. The proceedings then concluded.\n\nPage 450",

There seems no reason to believe that the villages on the NMaikha side took any more cognizance of the above official arrangements than they did of the distribution of them among the Chinese Fu Yi, which seems to have been made after the disturbances in Chia Ching's reign.] \n\n## Inclosure 10 in No. 1. \n\n**Précis of a Memorial by Shè, Governor-General of Yunnan and Kwei-Chou, together with a Receipt by the Board of Civil Office at Peking, making arrangements for the redistribution and definition of various Frontier Jurisdictions in West Yunnan, dated probably in the 15th year of Chein Lung, because a local instruction to the Chinese \"Tu-ssu\" or Headmen, based on this Memorial, is dated the year after.** \n\nTHE Governor-General observes that the boundaries of the Sub-Prefecture of Tengyueh, the hsien district of Pao Shan (Yung Chang), and the hsien district of Li Chiang are ill-defined towards the west; in the case of many scattered villages there are doubts as to what jurisdiction they belong to a state of affairs which is contrary to the requirements of good administration. \n\nThe following redistribution of the various frontier villages is therefore approved: The notes as to locality are added by His Majesty's Consul, Tengyueh. In the case of Pien Ma and U Tung, which are transferred from the jurisdiction of Yün Lung to that of Pao Shan, it is stated that the tax which the Yun Lang official formerly received and accounted for will henceforth be handed over to Pao Shan. The amount is about 320 lb. of rice. \n\n1. To the jurisdiction of Tengyueh are assigned: \n| Village | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| Shang Lou | (in Lasbi, \"Gaw Yawn,\" on the left bank of the Ngaw Chang) |\n| Chi Ka | (Lashi village on the right bank of the Ngaw Chang, opposite Shang Lou) |\n| Pa Yang | (in Lashi, \"Pa Myaw,\" on the Lower Kansheng or Kun Ma River) |\n| Ta Tang |  |\n| Ming Kwang | (about the Upper Shweli or Lung Chiang) |\n| Hparè Tan Chu | (Lashi villages at the headwaters of the Kansheng or Kun Ma) |\n| Hsien Chiang | (in Lashi, \"Shi Jang,\" on a small tributary, left bank Ngaw Chang) |\n| Kun Yung | (in China, 24 miles north of Tengyueh) |\n| Lu Yung | (not identified) |\n| Tien Tán | (Upper Shweli, west branch) |\n\n2. To the jurisdiction of Pao Shan the following are assigned: \n| Village |\n| --- |\n| Sun Chu |\n| Su Chai Pa |\n| Meng Ku |\n| Lu Chang |\n| Pú Ka |\n| Lung Sai |\n| Teng Lang |\n| Ting Ming |\n| Teng Keng |\n| Pa Chu |\n| Man Pang |\n| Sung Po |\n| Pai Lou |\n| Mao Chao |\n| A La Wa Ti |\n| Pai Pa |\n| Pa Chu Ho |\n| Pa Chung Lo |\n| Pien Ma |\n| U Tung |\n\n(All the above are situated along the Salween or in the Ngaw Chang Valley.) \n\n3. To the jurisdiction of Yün Lung the following are assigned: \n| Village |\n| --- |\n| Ch'eng Ka |\n| La Pai |\n| U Pie |\n| Hsiang Hsieh |\n| Tè U Ti |\n| Hsi Wa Lo |\n| Ku Mi Teng |\n| Ta Chu Ti |\n| Ta Chu Lo |\n| Lu Ku ferry |\n| Kan Ma Sa |\n| Lu Wei |\n| Hu Mu Lang |\n| Lao Wo |\n| Chi Tsu |\n| Wo Mao Ting |\n| Lu Tsu |\n| Lu Tsang Wang Ti |\n| Shil Ti |\n| Kui Wu |\n| Tu Pan Chang |\n| Tsao Chien |\n| Shui Tsing |\n\n(Most of these are known, and all are believed to be situated along the Salween, or between that river and the Mekong.) \n\n4. To Li Chiang Prefecture are assigned the following: \n| Village |\n| --- |\n| Pie Pie Lo |\n| Mao Chu Chai |\n| Ta Mi Lai |\n| Ta Pien |\n| Hei Tao |\n| Teng Kwa |\n| Tsa Hui Jen |\n| Chi Wa Tsa |\n| La Tsa |\n\n(Not identified; believed to be all along the Upper Salween or Mekong.) \n\n(Translation.) \n\n## Inclosure 11 in No. 1. \n\n**Acting Consul Litton to Taotai Shih, Tengyueh, May 20, 1905.**\n\nTHE 4th Article of the Agreement relative to Burmah and China provided that the boundary north of latitude 25° 35′ should be settled when the conditions of the country had been more fully inquired into. This Agreement is dated in 1897, and since its signature, the Government of Burmah has on several occasions dispatched officers to proceed to the N'Maikha with a view to ascertaining the conditions of the country and of pacifying the tribes. \n\nLast year, your Government also dispatched two military officials to Ming Kwang to make inquiries, but though the Representatives of both Governments had thus inspected the country, there had hitherto been no joint examination, and consequently, it has not been possible to conclude a further Treaty. \n\nIn February of this year, the Deputy Commissioner of Bhamo, together with myself, received instructions from our Government to serve on a joint inquiry regarding the frontier, and your Honour received a similar Commission, and we fixed a date for proceeding on this service. \n\nOn this occasion, the instructions to your Honour and to myself were to the effect that we were only to make a joint examination of the country and present a map to our superiors, and then to await their settlement of the demarcation question; we had no authority to proceed to delimitation on our own account. \n\nI was directed by my Government to point out the watershed between the N'Maikha River on the one hand and the Shweli and Salween Rivers on the other, while your Honour was instructed to inquire precisely what are territories administered by your Sawbwas. \n\nWe have now to communicate to each other the results of our joint inquiry. Having met at Ku Yung on the 7th March, 1905, we together proceeded to Ta Chai, in Tan Tsa, where we commenced our work. The previous demarcation had not gone beyond the high conical peak known to the Kachins as Manung Pum; the two small valleys of Lun Ma and Tan Tsa are situated to the east of this peak, while to the north-east of Tan Tsa, there is a lofty mountain known as Lang Ya (\"Wolf's Tooth\") Hill; between these two peaks rise the streams known as the Hsiao Cha, Ta Cha, and Chan Hsi Rivers; and the Chan Hsi River is the headwater of the Ta Ping. \n\nBeyond the range to the north of Chansi River are the Shi Ngaw and Tum Maw Rivers, both of which flow into the N'Maikha, and so to the Irrawaddy. These two rivers are under the jurisdiction of Myitkyina. \n\nUnder these conditions, all Lun Ma and Tan Tsa, which are within (i.e., on the Chinese side) of their watershed, should belong to Yunnan, while all the valleys of the Shi Ngaw and Tum Maw Rivers, which are beyond this watershed, should belong to Burmah. \n\nTo the east of the Lang Ya Shan is the village of Ma Li Pa. This village is situated in the north of the Tien Tan Valley, which belongs to Tengyueh Sub-Prefecture and is under Tsai Fu Yi (Headman). In this valley flows the Tien Tan River in a southerly direction to Ku Tung bazaar, where it joins the Ming Kwang River, being, in fact, one of the headwaters of the Shweli. \n\nSome 30 li to the north of Ma Li Pa, the watershed is crossed to the Chi Pwi River, which flows into the N'Maikha, and so to the Irrawaddy. \n\nThe Tien Tan River has three sources: the Mo Shih Stream, the Pan Wa Stream, and the true source, which issues from the Sisters Hill to the north of the village of Hei Tafo Yuan. Here, the boundary should assign the valley of the Tien Tan to Yunnan and the valley of the Chi Pwi to Burmah. \n\nBut your Honour told me that several villages about the headwaters of the Chi Pwi were included in the territory of Tsai Fu Yi of Tien Tan. Officers were accordingly sent over to Chang Yin Kou, Chung Shan, Lu Pi, and Shih Pao to inquire.",

The National Bank of China is moreover bound to satisfy and does satisfy the Government requirements as to gazetting monthly the average amount of notes in circulation and of specie in reserve in Hongkong during the month.\n\nWhile, therefore, as regards its present note issue the National Bank of China is placed by the Colonial Government under the same restrictions and safeguards as the Chartered Banks, the Colonial Government refuses to the notes of the N. Bank of China the recognition which it nevertheless extends to those of the Chartered Banks viz. the Hongkong & Shanghai Bank, and the Chartered Bank of India Australia and China. I may add that the National Bank of China is the only non-chartered Bank which has a note issue.\n\nThis operates as an undeserved stigma on the notes of the National Bank of China; yet I feel convinced that if you were to enquire you would be satisfied that their notes are well received by the public and that it would be a public convenience that they should be received in the ordinary course of business at the various",

        "content_text": "# BOYCOTTING THE PORTUGUESE, OUTCOME OF THE \"FATSHAN\" AFFAIR\n\nOur Canton correspondent writes on the 16th inst.:-An important meeting of the Self-Government Society was held yesterday evening, and thousands of persons, representing every section of the people, attended the meeting. Chan Wai Po was unanimously elected Chairman, and he opened the proceedings by reading the circular convening the meeting, a translation of which I sent you yesterday. The Chairman then informed the meeting that he had been handed a copy of a letter which had been written by Messrs. Butterfield and Swire to the British Consul to come to some settlement of Noronha's case. He said that the audience could see from this that Messrs. Butterfield and Swire had done all in their power to bring the Fatshan incident to a satisfactory conclusion, and had made ample compensation to the deceased's family. The Chairman then called upon Mok Wing Yu, who had full power to represent and act for Messrs. Butterfield and Swire, and Bo Ya Tui, acting on behalf of the family of the deceased Ho Yu Ting, to come to a final settlement. They informed the audience that they had arrived at a satisfactory settlement, and thanked the Society for the interest and help they had given to the case.\n\nThe Chairman then said that the Fatshan affair as regards Messrs. Butterfield and Swire was concluded, and he proposed that they should send telegrams to their countrymen informing them of this fact. The audience approving, a telegram was thereupon drafted.\n\nThe Chairman then resumed. The Consul for Portugal had not done his share of the business. He had refused to re-try Noronha or to offer an apology. He had falsely accused the Society of bribery, and had refused Viceroy Chang's proposal to hold a joint trial. The Chairman asked the assembly to decide on some form of retaliation for this insult to the Society, and to the Chinese nation in general. As far as he could see, all they were able to do was to request the Portuguese Consul to hold another trial, and to be careful in their future connections with the Portuguese. There were very few Portuguese firms, and not much business was carried on with the Chinese. The Portuguese were mostly employed by other foreign firms, as clerks, etc., and some were employed in Chinese firms. The Portuguese were a violent people, as they could see from the murder of Ho Yu Ting. It behooved them, therefore, to have no more business transactions with them, lest they be treated as their poor countryman Ho Yu Ting had been. They should have no further dealings with any firm, Chinese or foreign, who employed Portuguese clerks or assistants; and he asked the audience whether they approved of this course.\n\nKong Shui Chenn, an influential member of the gentry, then stood up and proposed that the Chairman's suggestion be adopted; and he further moved that telegrams be sent to their compatriots in every country to refrain from having any business transactions in future with firms employing Portuguese.\n\nHo Wai Nung seconded the proposal, and the audience unanimously concurred, signifying their approval by shouting and clapping most uproariously.\n\nAfter partaking of refreshments, the audience dispersed, and the meeting was postponed till this evening.\n\n## THE DRAFT TELEGRAM\n\nThe telegram drafted at the meeting and to be forwarded to the various places read as follows:-\n\n\"With reference to the Fatshan incident the Portuguese Consul has, up to the present, not yet settled the matter, but has brought forward false allegations against the members of our Society, whereat we have been much provoked. Messrs. Butterfield and Swire have maintained in a proper manner the friendly relations with the Chinese, offering a sum of $5,200 as compensation to the deceased's family and promising to urge the Portuguese Consul to take up the case with a view to arriving at a settlement and to accord better treatment to Chinese passengers in the future. The family of the deceased has agreed to accept the money. The ill-feeling against the British firm aforesaid is now placated, and we should resume dealing with the firm in the ordinary course of business as before. However, steps must be taken against the Portuguese.\n\n\"(Sgd.) THE CANTON SELF-GOVT. SOCIETY.\"",

But where there were two evils, he would certainly choose the lesser; that is, allowing the present system to continue until the economic conditions of China had so improved as would permit of its abolition being carried out satisfactorily. In the meantime, he supported the suggestion of forming a society for the protection of the servant-girls.\n\n## \n\n8.\n\nThe Chairman, in summing up, said that he was glad that so many present had freely expressed their views, which was just what he wanted. Although several speakers had gone somewhat off their tracks, he refrained from checking them, for he desired to have a thorough discussion of this very important question. Hitherto, the practice had been for the Chinese Community to leave such matters almost entirely to their representatives on the Legislative Council; but of late, he was pleased to see a growing tendency on the part of his compatriots to participate in public affairs. This was a welcome sign; but he only hoped that those who were so loud in their protestations of what they regarded to be evils should give practical demonstration of their words. It had been his experience to find that quite a number of men who were the loudest in their condemnation of public evils were the least active when work had to be done; and he hoped that those present would be different. He wanted deeds and not words.\n\nIn his speech, Mr. Yeung Shiu-cheun brought in the question of Mui-tsai becoming concubines. In a way, the \"mui-tsai\" question was closely bound up with the question of concubinage. If the former system had to go, concubinage would have to follow it soon or late, as a matter of course. The question was therefore one of great magnitude affecting, as it did, many time-honoured customs and social habits of the Chinese. If anyone present had any possible scheme to suggest that could do away with the \"mui-tsai\" system, with concubinage, and with prostitution, he for one...",

The number of Chinese business men in Victoria and Kowloon offering themselves as sureties to Government Departments and reported on by this office was 1,176 as against 1,410 in 1919.\n\n31. Two non-resident householders were required to enter into a bond; as against one in 1919. 89 certified extracts from the Registers were issued as against 48 in 1919. One duplicate Householder's Certificate was issued as against two in 1919; while 24 Householders' Removal Certificates were issued as against 18 in 1910.\n\n(i)-DISTRICT WATCHMEN. (Table VI.)\n\n32. The District Watchmen Committee met on 12 occasions the average attendance being 12. The loyal advice and assistance of this important Committee (which deals with every kind of question affecting the Chinese Community) continues to be of the greatest value to the Government.\n\nSir Boshan Wei Yuk was appointed adviser (Ko Man).\n\n33. Messrs Tong Lai-chan and Chau Siu-ki's terms of 5 years expired and they were reappointed by His Excellency the Governor for a further period of 5 years.\n\nThe two vacancies caused by the resignation of Mr. Chan Lok-chun and the death of Mr. Chan Kai-ming were filled by the appointment of Messrs. Fung Ping-shan and Tse Yam-chi.\n\nDuring 1920 the two members selected from the retiring Committees of the Tung Wah Hospital and the Po Leung Kuk, who hold their appointments for one year, were Messrs. To Sz-tun and Wong Ju-tung, vice Messrs. Fung Ping-shan and Choy Hing whose terms had expired.\n\n34. The balance to the credit of the District Watchmen Fund at the end of the year was $28,875 as compared with $34,208 on January 1st, the expenditure thus exceeding the income by $5,333. $28,000 of the balance is invested in Hongkong 8% War Loan, and the remainder $875 deposited in the Colonial Treasury.\n\n35. The total strength of the District Watchmen Force at the end of the year was 102: the same number as on January 1st. The approved strength is 102. There were 17 vacancies during the year of which were caused by dismissals or desertions.\n\n36. The number of convictions secured by members of the force was 426 as compared with 164 in 1919 and 172 in 1918.\n\n37. The Detective Staff now numbers 20 as compared with 23 in 1919. Police Sub-Inspector Murphy was in charge of the District Watchmen detective staff. His work has had the effect of inspiring the men to greater energy, and of fostering co-operation with the Regular detectives; and its value is only in part reflected in the very marked increase in convictions secured during the year.\n\n9 -\n\n(ii)-PERMITS.\n\n38. Seven hundred and thirty-one (731) permits to fire crackers were issued as against 691 in 1919 and of these 537 were on the occasion of marriage.\n\n39.

The estimates for 1921 were based on a rate of 3s. 4d., and the average for the year is 2s. 8d. I might mention that against this sum of $1,001,262.12 is offset a considerably larger saving of some 2 million dollars in the five main heads of expenditure which are not shown in this Bill.\n\nThe ATTORNEY-GENERAL seconded, and the Bill was read a first time.\n\nTHE INDEMNITY BILL.\n\nPETITION PRESENTED BY LOCAL SHIPOWNERS.\n\nThe owners instruct us they have also had a number of meetings amongst themselves, at which the Government's proposals have been most carefully considered and discussed.\n\nThe owners have come to the conclusion that the remuneration offered by the Government is not only wholly inadequate but must result in a heavy loss to the owners.\n\nHONGKONG DAILY PRESS, FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 1912.\n\nBy a Proclamation in the London Gazette of the 14th August, 1914, certain persons were appointed to the Board contemplated by His Majesty's proclamation of the 3rd August, 1914, and Lord Morsey was appointed as President and Mr. William Walton as Vice-President.\n\nShould the above scheme have been brought into operation under the powers referred to in (a) above it is obvious from the decision in The China Mutual Steam Navigation Co., Ltd. v. Maclay reported in 1918, L.R.B. page 331 that although the Board of Arbitration referred to in the Proclamation of the 3rd August, 1914, might have powers to assess the remuneration on a requisition basis it clearly has no power to assess the remuneration and compensation under the above scheme.\n\nEach of the owners has, in respect of his ship, made out a working account based on the previous working expenses of his ship, and each individual item, although approximate only, can be substantiated by the owners' books, which books the owners are prepared to produce for inspection to the Government at any time.\n\nThe ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the second reading of the Bill intitued An Ordinance to restrict the taking of legal proceedings in respect of certain acts and matters done during the war and to provide in certain cases remedies in substitution therefor.\n\nThe COLONIAL SECRETARY seconded.\n\nThe ATTORNEY-GENERAL: Sir, certain interested persons wish to be heard by counsel upon this Bill and I beg to move that they now be so heard.\n\nThe Hon. Mr. E. V. D. PARR: I second.\n\nThe resolution was carried.\n\nMr. C. G. ALABASTER, O.B.E., barrister-at-law, then addressed the Council. He said: May it please Your Excellency, and honourable members of the Legislative Council, I propose, with your permission, to follow the practice that was adopted when counsel was heard on the Rents Bill and to read the petition which has been presented to-day, supplementing it, if necessary, by commenting on it as I read it.\n\nCounsel then read the salient paragraphs of the following petition:--\n\nPETITION.\n\nTo the Hon. Mr. CLAUD SEVERN, LL.D., the Officer Administering the Government of the Colony of Hongkong for the time being and to the Members of the Legislative Council of the Colony of Hongkong.\n\nThe humble Petition of:--\n\nMessrs. The Douglas Steamship Co., Ltd., owners of the steamships Haitan and Hailong.\n\nMessrs. Moller & Co. (Shanghai), Ltd., of Shanghai, owners of the steamships Manapouri and Castlefield.\n\nCarmichael and Clarke of Hongkong, representing the owners of the steamship Brisbane.\n\nThe Luen Hing Steamship Co., Ltd., of Hongkong, the owners of the steamship Pheumpenh.\n\nThe Lai Hing Steamship Co., Ltd., of Hongkong, the owners of the steamship Telemachus.\n\nThe Po Shun Steamship Co., Ltd., of Hongkong, the owners of the steamship Haimun.\n\nThe Wollowra Steamship Co., Ltd., of Shanghai, the owners of the steamship Wollowra.\n\nUn Man Cheun of Hongkong, the owners of the steamship Lien Shing.\n\nSheweth as follows:\n\n1. For about the month of March, 1918, the Government of Hongkong notified your Petitioners of their decision to bring the said steamships under Hongkong Government control.\n\n2. On the 11th day of April, 1918, our Solicitors Messrs. Deacon, Looker, Deacon and Harston addressed the following letter to the Honourable Colonial Secretary:-\n\nSIR,-\n\nWe have the honour to address you with reference to the bringing under Government control of all steamers flying the British flag which have not yet been requisitioned for Imperial service, and are under whose ports of registry are either Hongkong or Shanghai.\n\nWe are instructed by the owners of the steamships Telemachus, Pheumpenh, Haimun, Brisbane, Wollowra, Manapouri, Castlefield and Patriot to represent their interests generally, and particularly as to the remuneration which the Government propose to pay under the above scheme.\n\nThe owners have now had the advantage of considering the information which was imparted by the Assistant Colonial Secretary at the Meeting at the Sanitary Board Office held on the 28th March last, when they were informed that the Government propose to pay the tramp Blue Book rates, as to one third thereof at an exchange of 2/- to the pound, and as to the balance at the rate of exchange of the day of payment, plus 2/8 per ton for Eastern service, and 5 per cent. on the net profits in consideration of the services of the owners in running the ships on behalf of the Government.\n\n(Sgd.) DEACON, LOOKER, DEACON, AND HARSTON.\n\n3. On the 19th day of April, 1918, our said Solicitors addressed the following letter to the Honourable Colonial Secretary:-\n\nSIR,-\n\nWe have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 15th instant, No. 13456, 1916.\n\nWe have placed the above letter before our clients who are the owners of the ships referred to in our letter of the 11th instant.\n\nOur clients much regret that His Excellency cannot see his way to increase the proposed remuneration, because, as you state, His Excellency is at present bound by instructions from home, but our clients note with pleasure that His Excellency is prepared to assist our clients in every possible way.\n\nOur clients are at present unaware what legislative authority the above scheme is being carried out, and would be grateful for some enlightenment on the subject.\n\n(Sgd.) DEACON, LOOKER, DEACON, AND HARSTON.\n\n5. The Ship Owners Protection Association of Hongkong which was and is an Association for the protection of our interests with reference to the aforesaid Government control scheme were never permitted to have a representative on the Shipping Control Committee nor were the individual shipowners represented on the Committee, whereas the Committee in question was substantially composed of representatives of Shipping Companies in direct opposition to us.\n\n6. The said Steamships were then and are now on the Hongkong or Shanghai registers. The position being as follows:-\n\nS.S. Telemachus Hongkong Register.\n\nS.S. Phempenh Shanghai Register.\n\nS.S. Haimun Hongkong Register.\n\nS.S. Brisbane Shanghai Register.\n\nS.S. Wollowra Shanghai Register.\n\nS.S. Lien Shing Hongkong Register.\n\nS.S. Manapouri Shanghai Register.\n\nS.S. Castlefield Shanghai Register.\n\n7. Thereafter the said Steamships were taken under the said control and the Hongkong Government received in respect of their earnings large sums of money which sums the Government still retain against the will and consent of your Petitioners.\n\n8. The said sums were not required in aid of or in connection with the defence of the Colony or of the Empire or used for the purposes of the prosecution of the war now happily ended.\n\n9. In the Financial Statement for the month of February, 1921, published in the Gazette of the 27th May, 1921, under the heading Liabilities is the item \"Shipping Control Account $2,231,204.11.\"\n\n10. The retention of the said sum by the Government is not warranted by any Act of Parliament, Ordinance, Order-in-Council, Royal Prerogative or other lawful authority.\n\n(Continued on page 5.)\n\nPage 173 appears three times at top, three times at bottom.\n\nPage 173\n\nPage 173\n\nPage 173\n\n173\n\n173\n\n173\n\nI made the following changes:\n1.

Maclay reported in 1918, L.R.B. page 331 that although the Board of Arbitration referred to in the Proclamation of the 3rd August, 1913, might have powers to assess the remuneration on a requisition basis it clearly has no power to assess the remuneration and compensation under the above scheme; consequently whether the above scheme has been brought into operation under the legislation referred to in (a) above or under other legislation not referred to in this letter or merely by mutual agreement between the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty and the owners, or failing such agreement, by the Award of a Board of Arbitration to be constituted and appointed for the purpose.\n\nBy a Proclamation in the London Gazette of the 3rd August, 1914, the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty by Warrant under the hand of their Secretary, or under the hand of any Flag Officer of His Majesty's Navy holding any appointment under the Admiralty, are entitled to requisition and take for service any British ship or British vessel as defined in the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, within the British Isles or the waters adjacent thereto, for such period or time as may be necessary, on condition that the owners of all ships and vessels so requisitioned shall receive pay for their use and for services rendered during their employment in the Government service and compensation for loss or damage thereby occasioned according to the terms to be arranged as soon as possible after the said ship has been taken up.\n\nBy an Order-in-Council dated the 28th of June, 1917, by way of amendment to the Regulations called \"the Defence of the Realm Regulations\" under the Defence of the Realm (Consolidation) Act 1914, it is provided by Regulation 39 that:\n\n1. The Shipping Controller may make orders regulating and giving directions in respect of the nature of the trades in which ships are to be employed, the traffic to be carried therein, and the terms and conditions on which the trade is to be carried, the ports at which cargo is to be loaded or discharged or passengers embark or disembark (including directions requiring ships to proceed to specified ports for the purpose of loading or unloading cargo or embarking or disembarking passengers) the ports at which consignees of cargo are to take delivery thereof, the rates (maxima or minima) to be charged for freight or hire of ships and the carriage of passengers, the form of bills of lading and passenger certificates, and other matters affecting shipping where it appears to the Controller necessary or expedient to make such order for the purpose of making shipping available to the needs of the country, in such manner as to make the best use thereof having regard to the circumstances of the time.\n\n2. Any Order made under this Regulation may contain such provisions as to inspection of books and documents or otherwise as may appear to the Controller necessary or expedient for the purpose of his duties.\n\nThe owners desire us to represent as strongly as possible to His Excellency the Governor that it is most inequitable that the shipping trade of this Colony should be selected as the only industry to be taxed.\n\nIt is well known and has often been pronounced by His Excellency the Governor that the shipping at Hongkong is the life blood of the Colony, that without shipping this Colony cannot exist.\n\nThe owners feel certain that His Excellency will appreciate the extraordinary competition which British shipping has to contend with in the Japanese Shipping, that unless sufficient inducements are shown to British shipping enterprise the same cannot be expected to flourish.\n\nThe owners consider that British shipping companies are building up enormous reserves and will, unless British Shipping is well fostered, become invincible competitors in the not distant future, especially in the Far East.\n\nThe enclosed letter received the consideration of the Committee of the Ship Owners Protection Association of Hongkong this morning who have instructed us to state that in view of your letter of the 24th April last No. 216 1918 they very substantially increase the remuneration now offered.\n\nThe owners, whilst being desirous of assisting the Government in every possible way at this serious juncture, consider that their present request is not only reasonable, but such as they are justified in putting forward and pressing under the present circumstances.\n\nOur clients desire to state that they do not consider that the present members of the Sub-Committee here of the S.B. London Shipping Controller are in a position to fully or adequately represent our clients' interest or that they should be called upon to do so.\n\nFurthermore, our clients feel that a local Board of Arbitration is essential as local conditions must be taken into consideration.\n\nOur clients desire us to state that it is not their desire or intention to oppose or hinder the Government in any way, but to secure for themselves a just and adequate remuneration, under the circumstances.\n\nFrom a perusal of the working accounts, the result appears to be as follows:-\n\nS.S. Telemachus a monthly loss of $3,211.65\n\nS.S. Pheumpenh $4,735.75\n\nS.S. Haimun $2,949.69\n\nS.S. Brisbane $997.00\n\nS.S. Wollowra $4,205.30\n\nS.S. Manapouri $948.00\n\nS.S. Castlefield $395.75\n\nS.S. Patriot a very substantial loss in view of the requisition of the S.S. Wollowra.\n\nUnless the Government are prepared to very substantially increase the remuneration, bankruptcy or liquidation is the inevitable outcome.\n\nOur clients desire to state that they do not consider that the present members of the Sub-Committee here of the S.B. London Shipping Controller are in a position to fully or adequately represent our clients' interest or that they should be called upon to do so.\n\nCounsel then read the salient paragraphs of the following petition:\n\nTo the Hon.

GREECE INVOKES AID OF VENIZELOS.\n\nSATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1922.\n\nConstantinople, September 29. Replying to General Harington's telegram mentioned in a message of the 28th inst., Mustapha Kemal declares that his troops will not advance further. He desires that no incident shall occur, and will seize the earliest opportunity of meeting General Harington.\n\n[A message of the 28th inst. stated: General Harington, in a conciliatory reply to Kemal Pasha, thanks him for his declaration to respect the neutrality of the Straits and his desire to avoid incidents, and points out that the destruction and building of roads was carried out as a military necessity. He assures Kemal Pasha that no shot will be fired except by his, General Harington's, orders, and expresses readiness to meet Kemal Pasha anywhere that is convenient to discuss an understanding.]\n\nNaval Reinforcements on the Way.\n\nGibraltar, September 29. The flotilla leader and eight destroyers of the first flotilla of the Atlantic Fleet have arrived en route to the Near East, also two submarines.\n\nFull Support from Australia.\n\nMelbourne, September 27. Speaking in the House of Representatives, Mr. Hughes said that Australia was praying that there would not be war, but if it came Britain would be in the right, even if left alone. Australia had previously put in the field a larger army than the Turks could now muster, and would do the same again if necessary.\n\nVenizelos to Represent Greece at Conference?\n\nThe Revolutionary Committee has telegraphed to M. Venizelos at Paris asking him to undertake the defence of Greek interests with the Entente and to represent Greece at the Near East conference.\n\nThe Committee demanded the immediate departure from Greece of ex-King Constantine, ex-Queen Sophie, and the Princes Nicholas and Andrew. It is understood that they departed aboard a battleship last night.\n\nThe Committee has forbidden demonstrations in the streets. It is announced that the revolution has not been accompanied by a single drop of bloodshed. Several Royalist officers arrested at the outbreak of the revolution have been released, and all political prisoners have been liberated. The elements which long terrorized the city under the Constantin regime have mysteriously disappeared. It is rumoured that ex-Premiers, Gounaris, Stratos, and Protopapadakis have been arrested. Many politicians believe that the reign of the new King will not be a long one, and that a republic is likely.\n\nGreece Talking of Retrieving Disaster.\n\nLater. The revolutionary leaders, in a statement, insist that the movement is absolutely national, and is exclusively aimed at reparation of the recent catastrophe and the creation of a strong army to save Thrace. They declare that the settlement of the dynastic question must conform to the will of the great majority of the Greek people.\n\nHigh Commissioners Despatch Pacificatory Delegates.\n\nConstantinople, September 29. The High Commissioners have decided to despatch a commission composed of British, French, and Italian officers to Rodosto, Lule Burgas, and Adrianople to exercise a pacifying influence.\n\nArrest of Greek Premiers Confirmed.\n\nParis, September 29. A message from Athens confirms the arrest of the three ex-Premiers. M. Theotokis and Rear-Admiral Goudas have also been arrested. The message adds that it is expected they will be brought to trial as responsible for the events in Asia Minor.\n\nCabinet Regards Kemalist Action as Infringement.\n\nLondon, September 29. At the conclusion of further series of Cabinet meetings, anxiety in official circles was nowise eased. It is understood that the Government regard the Turkish action as an infringement of the Allied Note, and decided that it is impossible to permit the Kemalists to remain and continue positions in the neutral zone. The Government has therefore informed the military authorities that they have complete support in demanding the withdrawal of the Kemalists, leaving the question of a time-limit to the discretion of General Harington, Admiral Brock, and the High Commissioner. Meantime, the members of the Cabinet are standing by ready for emergencies, and are expecting an early development.\n\nRumour of War Causes Slump.\n\nLondon, September 29. The nervousness created by the Near Eastern situation is exemplified by the slump on the Liverpool cotton market today owing to a baseless rumour that Britain had declared war on Turkey, concerning which an authoritative denial was subsequently issued.\n\nLANCASHIRE COTTON TRADE DEPRESSION.\n\nCompanies Gradually Losing Their Capital.\n\nLondon, September 29. The question of the continued severe depression in the Lancashire cotton trade was discussed at a Manchester meeting of representatives of over fifty per cent. of the spinning companies. Leading spinners pointed out that most concerns were gradually losing their capital, and only immediate and drastic action would avert a financial crisis. An enquiry into the question of fixing minimum prices for standard counts of yarn was suggested, also the curtailment of production.\n\nLEAGUE OF NATIONS FINANCES.\n\nSUN YAT-SEN'S REPLY.\n\nAuthenticity of \"Telegraph\" Letters Admitted.\n\n1922. 日十初月八\n\nLAST NIGHT'S SENSATION.\n\nDetective Murdered; Two Men Shot.\n\nSINGLE COPY 10 CTS. $30 PER ANNUM\n\nTHE BANK\n\nREMOVAL NOTICE.\n\nAndersen, Meyer & Co., Ltd., beg to announce the removal on September 1st., 1922, of their offices from No. 2, Queen's Road Central, to No. 67, 69, Des Voeux Road. (SITE OF THE OLD VICTORIA THEATRE.)\n\nMYSTERY. PORTUGUESE CRUISER.\n\nNot a Book-keeping Error.\n\nOrdered to Macao.\n\nLisbon, Sept. 29. The cruiser Republica has been ordered to proceed to Macao from South America.\n\nThe disappearance of $200,000 from the International Banking Corporation still remains shrouded in mystery. A Telegraph reporter who called on the acting manager this morning to inquire if anything had been discovered which would throw some light on the affair was informed that the Bank are still in the dark as to what has happened to the money.\n\nIt has been ascertained that the loss is not through any book-keeping error, the pressman was told, and there has been no tampering with either the vaults or the safes. Beyond those facts, practically nothing appears to be known.\n\nAbout eight o'clock last night, armed men visited 26, Wing Wo Street, an emigrants' boarding house. They gagged and bound the inmates and during the half-hour they remained on the premises collected all the money and valuables, including gold dollars and foreign coin to the value of some $6,000.\n\nAs the robbers were leaving, they were observed by Detective Sergeant Sin Chuen, who, it will be remembered, was highly praised for his services in the famous Wo Ping Theatre case. Although single-handed, the detective tackled the gang, but they were too many for him. One of the armed men pointed his revolver at the officer and fired, hitting him in the chest. The gang then made off, chased by a number of police and others who by this time had been attracted to the scene.\n\nThe chase was an exciting one, and firearms were used frequently. Two men, on one of whom was found a revolver, were arrested. They were escorted to the Central Police Station by a party of constables with drawn revolvers, and on the way, an accident happened. In Graham Street, the weapon of one of the constables accidentally went off and wounded two brothers who came out of No. 6 to watch the procession pass.\n\nThe police visited the boarding house where the robbery occurred and it is understood that three daggers were found.\n\nJAPAN'S MILITARISTS.\n\nFurther Disclosures.\n\nTokyo, Sept. 30. The revelations continued by the Kokumin alleging that Japanese militarists have completed plans to establish a buffer state in alliance with Germany and Russia intended.\n\nDenial of Bolshevism.\n\n(Our Own Correspondent.)\n\nShanghai, September 29. Dr. Sun Yat-sen admits the veracity of the Hongkong Telegraph's disclosures relative to the proposal to form an Alliance with Germany and Russia.\n\nHe says, however, that the letters have been improperly translated and are partly false. He defended himself on the ground that all the Powers except Germany and Russia continued to be aggressive. He cites the relinquishment of extra-territoriality as proof that Germany and Russia have shown a favourable attitude to China.\n\nChina's Desire for Equality.\n\nDr. Sun Yat-sen says that the creation of the Soviet Government had removed China's greatest political menace, so long as the Soviet Government continues its non-Imperialistic policy. He says that China's greatest need is assistance from Powers which will treat China as an equal, and believes that Germany and Russia are the only Powers qualified to treat China in that manner. He therefore favours a conciliatory attitude towards Germany and Russia.\n\nAccording to Dr. Sun, such a policy will not injure any of the other Powers which honestly desire a re-united China. He states that these are his main considerations.\n\nBolshevism Unsuited to China.\n\nDr. Sun says that epithets accusing him of Bolshevistic views do not injure him and will not deter him. He denies that he has any sympathy with Bolshevism as a principle and says that a correct reading of his letters will prove this beyond doubt. He also says that he may issue an English translation of the letters reproduced in the \"Hongkong Telegraph\". He asserts that the \"Hongkong Telegraph's\" insinuation that the letters reveal a leaning towards Bolshevism is a charge unworthy of an answer, as all intelligent minds will realise that China is politically and economically unsuited to Bolshevism. Dr. Sun says that he never once dreamed of transforming China into a Bolshevik Republic.\n\nFruitless Overtures to Foreign Capitalists.\n\nIn conclusion, the late President of the South says that he had made repeated overtures to American, British, and other foreign capitalists with a view to arousing their interest in the commercial development of China, but all were deaf to his suggestions. Hence, he says, he had to turn elsewhere for much-needed co-operation.\n\nSIKI'S VICTORY.\n\nEndorsed by French Boxing Federation.\n\nParis, September 29. The French Boxing Federation has endorsed the decision of the judges in the Carpentier-Siki fight and approved Siki's claim to the light-heavyweight championship of the world.\n\nARMS TRAFFIC.\n\nFull Sentence Imposed.\n\nWhen charged today with trafficking in arms on river boats, the prisoner was found guilty. Inspector Fallon prosecuted, and asked the Magistrate to pass an exemplary sentence, pointing out that this trafficking in arms was attaining serious proportions. The Magistrate accordingly imposed the full penalty of a year's hard labour on the prisoner.\n\nThe Chinese detective, Sin Cheun, who was shot by the armed men, was taken to the Government Civil Hospital, but the wound was serious and the gallant man expired shortly after admission.\n\nA report was made to the police by the accountant of the Wong Tak Loong, import and export firm, occupying the first and second floors of No. 26 Wing Wo Street, to the effect that the gang entered the premises at 7.30, being armed with daggers and revolvers which they used to intimidate the twelve fokia of the firm.\n\nAfter being bound and gagged, the victims were all bundled into one room whilst the process of ransacking the floors took place. From a safe, the robbers took a sum of $4,176, some American money, and a gold watch and chain, the value of which is unknown.\n\nHONGKONG FINANCES.\n\nA Healthy Outlook.\n\nHongkong's finances continue in a healthy state. The figures for the first half of the year are now available. These show that at the end of June there was a balance of $11,512,230, which compares with $7, $7,810,494 during the first half of 1921. The increase was largely due to more receipts from land sales, which produced no less than $2,197,356, against $208,627 for 1921.\n\nDuring the month of June, the revenue was $1,646,108, this comparing with $1,372,442 for June, 1921.\n\nThe total expenditure during the half year was $8,278,026, this contrasting with $6,421,324 for the first six months of 1921, there being considerable increases in Miscellaneous Expenditure and Public Works Extraordinary. For the month of June, the outgoings totalled $1,519,647, compared with $1,066,426 in June last year.\n\nV.R.C. SPORTS.\n\nSecond Day's Events.\n\nThe attendance on the second day of the annual sports carnival of the Victoria Recreation Club left much to be desired, for it was the poorest on record. However, there were enough competitors to make every race interesting, the 220 yards Championship being the outstanding feature of the day.\n\nIn the absence of Johnstone, Lyon was favourite, though with rivals of the capability of Laing and Jack, the finish was a hot one. Lyon set the pace, and in the fourth length, the tussle between Laing and Jack for second place became very keen. Jack had enjoyed the advantage, but in this length, Laing made up and was ahead of the former by a mere matter of feet. The race then resolved itself principally into a tussle between these two for second place, Laing eventually beating Jack by a few seconds. Lyon's win yesterday makes his third championship success in this year's sports. Time—D. Lyon, 2 mins. 40 secs.; D. Laing, 2 mins. 47 secs.\n\nFollowing are the results of the other events:\n\nFour lengths handicap (members).—1, S. A. Marcal; 2, T. Stewart. Time 1 min. 13 sec.\n\nLong plunge.—1, M. Souza; 2. B.

Noronha.\n\nCANTON'S FINANCES.\n\nReported Conclusion of Foreign Loan.\n\nOur Canton correspondent states that the members of the Provincial Assembly, on hearing that a foreign loan of £2,000,000 has been concluded and was signed by the Civil Governor on the 28th instant, are keen to know the details of the scheme.\n\nIRISH POSTAL SETTLEMENT.\n\nLondon, September 29. The report of the Fourth Commission shows that the League of Nations is financially stressed, owing to the non-payment of contributions totalling 5,000,000 gold francs for 1921 and the payment so far of only 55 per cent. of the 1922 contributions while the Budget has increased to 25 millions.\n\nThe Irish postal settlement provides that three-eighths of the proposed wage reduction shall operate from September 1st, and the remainder from December 1st.

At the annual meeting of Chinese already referred to, Dr. Yeung declared that cases of harsh treatment were often met with, even amongst upper and middle-class Chinese, and that the cases brought before the magistrates were only a small proportion of those which occur. The existence of ill-treatment is also borne out by the Resolution passed at the meeting, to establish a Society for the prevention of cruelty to the Mui Tsai.\n\nOur Committee is surprised to find that the Secretary for Chinese Affairs in his Minute denies the connection between the adoption system and prostitution. This is contrary to the information which we have received from persons resident in Hong Kong who are familiar with social conditions in the Colony, that a large proportion of girls in the brothels are \"adopted\" girls, and have in many cases been sold by their adopters to the brothel keepers. In their speeches at the Chinese mass meeting, both Mr. Lau Chu Pak and Dr. Yeung Shiu-cheun declared that those who practised \"tee chu fa\", or direct sale of girls for prostitution, always professed that they were adopted daughters. Dr. Yeung urged the abolition of the Mui Tsai system on the ground that it was \"the greatest feeder of the brothels\".\n\nIt is maintained by the Secretary for Chinese Affairs that cases of transfer of Mui Tsai without the parents' consent are uncommon and contrary to Chinese custom, and that",

A Department was formed for the issue of passes to Chinese wishing to cross by the Star Ferry boats. There were two offices, one in Hongkong under Mr. Sum Pak-ming, and one in Kowloon under Mr. Li Jew-son, both of whom discharged their duties with tact and discretion.\n\n21. A few days after the establishment of the Labour Bureau under Mr. G. H. Young, H.B.M., Dr. S. V. Tso, M.B.E., upon my recommendation, was appointed to be Assistant Controller in charge of the Chinese side of the Department. The work of these two gentlemen was eminently successful. In any strike, the best weapon against the striker is his replacement either by a machine, as in transport, or by another worker. In the peculiar circumstances of this Strike, caused, as it was, by a lying propaganda stirring up national feeling and engendering fear, replacement was impossible on a very large scale, at least at the commencement. Nevertheless, Dr. Tso, with his volunteer helpers, passed hundreds into employment in the teeth of opposition and danger. Dr. Tso's work compelled the admiration of all; his untiring energy was accompanied by a calm courage at a time when an example of courage was most needed. This control must always be a post of difficulty and even danger when feeling runs high, for its occupant is conspicuous as a \"strike-breaker\", and must expect to incur the hate of those whose object it is to paralyse the Community.\n\nThe Cable Censorship is in charge of the Hon. Mr. D. W. Tratman, assisted by Mr. S. M. Chern, and many able Chinese volunteer workers who, I understand, have done splendid work.",

Mr. Tofes: Would it not be better to have passes for all; to discriminate between Chinese and foreigners would create bad feeling between Chinese and foreigners.\n\nH.B.M. Consul-General: Passes will only be required to be shown after 9 p.m.\n\nThe Rev. Mr Tope: That is not made very clear in the police regulations.\n\nH.B.M. Congul-General referred the rev. gentleman to Rule No. 2 of the Police Permit Regulations which stated: \"After gates are closed entrance by gates or by landing steps is prohibited except to those in possession of passes\".\n\nRule 14 of the Traffic Regulations also made this quite clear. This Regulation stated: \"After 9 p.m. none but foreign residents and visitors are allowed to enter or leave Shameen without the Police permit. Others when employed by and accompanying the above will be allowed to pass\".\n\nThe fact had not to be forgotten that in the strict sense of the work the Island is not public. It was leased to the British and French Governments, and as such it was the private property of these two Governments. It was not a public place where everyone had the right to come and go. It was for the Council to make regulations to regulate traffic on Shameen.\n\nThe Chairman of the Municipal Council, referring to Rule 7 and Rule 15, said that people having business on the Shameen could land and go to their place of business by the shortest route.\n\nMr. Taylor asked what about people having business at certain foreign wharves down the river.\n\nH.B.M.

W. Kew went into the accounts at considerable length, punctuating his questions with sarcasm and comment. Another shareholder, Mr. F. S. Harrison, also joined in. Mr. A. H. Rowe, managing director, gave most of the replies while Mr. H. Birkett (chairman) also answered Mr. Kew.\n\nBesides those mentioned, there were present Messrs. Sum Pak-ming, T. N. Chau (directors) and H. M. Kew, A. Nissim, C. A. Fulcher (shareholders).\n\nLast Year's Features.\n\nThe outstanding items in the report for the year ended April 30, 1926, are:-\n\n11 lakhs depreciation written off in 26 months.\n\n$40,000 profit last year instead of $46,000 loss, as result of farming out the fleet of taxis.\n\nConcessions obtained from the International and French settlements, Shanghai: 50 taxis will be sent up from Hongkong.\n\n...\n\nMr. Birkett observed that $15,000 for salaries and wages was not a big item for twelve months. Mr. Kew - \"No, when you say it slowly.\"\n\nIn Deep Water?\n\nMr. Kew said, \"The best course, take it from me, is to wind up before further trouble. This is a one man show, run for the benefit of Mr. Rowe.\"\n\nOn being accosted by a constable at Reclamation Street on Saturday night, a Chinese dropped a sack he was carrying and escaped. The sack contained eight revolvers and 800 rounds of ammunition.\n\n[No. 2995. July 22, 1926.\n\nCOMING HERE.\n\nJuly 19.\n\nThe Hongkong office of the Asiatic Petroleum Company have received information that the Marchese de Pinedo is shortly commencing a new flight from Pisa, Italy.\n\nIt will be remembered that Pinedo passed through Hongkong last October during his flight from Rome to Australia and Japan and back to Italy.\n\nFor his new flight Pinedo intends to use a seaplane and his route will cover 60,000 miles, as follows: From Pisa across Spain to Lisbon, thence by way of the Azores to Newfoundland and New York; from New York he will fly to Seattle and down the coast to San Diego and thence across country to New Orleans. From New Orleans he will pass through the West Indies to British Guiana, and strike inland across Brazil to Rio de Janeiro and on to Buenos Aires, and across the Andes to Valparaiso.\n\nHis route afterward will be as follows: Easter Island, Mangareva, Tahiti, Samoa, Fiji Islands to New Caledonia, New Zealand and Australia. Afterwards he will touch at various points in the Dutch East Indies, Manila and North China, flying inland to Hankow and still inland to Saigon in French Indo-China. The remainder of his route covers Rangoon, Calcutta, Ceylon, Chagos Islands, Seychelles, Mauritius to Beira, then round the coast of South Africa as far as Boma to the Belgian Congo; he will then strike inland to Tanganyika, and flying through Uganda and up the Nile to Cairo, along the coast to Tripoli and back across the Mediterranean to Pisa.\n\nThe Marchese de Pinedo expects to arrive in Hongkong early in November on the return part of his flight.\n\nAt the request of the Marchese, the \"Shell\" organisation are making all the necessary fuel arrangements for the entire flight. \"Shell\" aviation spirit is again chosen on account of the excellent result obtained during his last flight when 34,000 miles were covered without the slightest mishap.\n\nMOTOR MISHAP.\n\nJuly 19.\n\nMr. R. M. Johnson, of 17 Humphrey's Buildings, Kowloon, reports that while driving a motor car along Castle Peak Road on Saturday in the direction of Tsim Sha Tsui, a woman ran from the hillside and was caught by the fender, sustaining minor injuries. She refused to go to Hospital and was compensated.\n\nMr. M. Manuk returned to the Colony from Australia on Thursday by \"...

On this result, the students and all who helped in the organising are to be congratulated, and especially the Old Boy whom they invited to be Chairman - Mr. Chiu Ying-po.\n\nA room in the new school will be named after the 1926 Students in accordance with the privileges granted to subscribers to the New Building Fund.\n\nThe Committee wishes to thank the following patrons and Companies who kindly contributed to the bazaar:-\n\nPatrons: Mr. Sir Shou Son-chow, S.S.G.C.

It is a new set of State insurance laws, operating on July 1, and is killing every ... but the working ... is 31. For instance, a gardener, for whom one paid 18s. per annum insurance against accident in the past, has now to be paid £5; a man employed in a brewery, formerly 13s. 6d. per annum, now 78s. 9d.; bakers, similar trades, and so on, and milk carters from 40s. to 140s.; a miner from £10 to £50; and there are hundreds and hundreds, close to a thousand, all taxable. If I can get a paper (I have to keep the one I have) will send it to you. It is really unbelievable.\n\n\"The Insurance Companies will reap a harvest and I don't own one share in them. Just imagine, say, in Farmer & Co., something like 1,000 hands employed, having to pay 48s. 9d. instead of 10s. per head, and I see in the list that domestic servants have to be insured at 52s. 6d. a head, instead of 5s. Every trade, musicians included, are in the list. A boy who delivers newspapers costs his employer 70s. instead of 12s. a year. I could go on for the next hour and never finish.\n\n\"Wharf labourers, who are paid by the Steamship Companies (I have a lot of shares in those) are increased from £8 to £40 annually. So the poor shareholders in all those Companies will suffer. Clerical workers are let down the lightest, so the shares in offices and banks will not be affected.\n\n\"My broker told me about the disastrous time that's ahead!\"",

As was reported, the Kuomintang Joint Conference recently decided to create Ministries of Communications and Justice, and Messrs. Sun Fo and Hsu Chien were mentioned as heading the new departments. Last evening a mandate was issued by the Government appointing Mr. Sun Fo as Minister of Communications and Mr. Hsu Chien as Minister of Justice. The same mandate orders the abolishing of the Judicial Administrative Committee (hitherto the highest judicial administrative organ in Canton) as soon as the Ministry of Justice be established.\n\nThe Nationalist Government issued another mandate last evening promulgating the constitution for the provincial government of Kwangtung, which is reorganized. Messrs. Chan Shiu-yan, T. V. Soong, Sun Fo, Hsu Sung-ching, Hau Pak-cheun, Li Chai-sum, Chan Fu-mok, Li Lok-chao, Chau Pei-chen, Mrs. Liao Chung-kai and Kam Nai-kwong are appointed members of the Provincial Government Committee of Kwangtung.\n\nAnother mandate orders the abolishing of the posts of commissioners for different administrative areas of Kwangtung.\n\nThe new Provincial Government of Kwangtung will be inaugurated to-morrow morning at the Treasury Building, when the new commissioners will take their oaths of office.—F. A. C.\n\n### Seat to be Moved to Wuchang.\n\nA bulletin has been issued by the Kuomintang Headquarters to the effect that at the meeting of the Central Committee of Political Affairs on the 8th inst., the decision to transfer the Nationalist Government and the Central Party Organisation of the Kuomintang to Wuchang was reached and that these two important steps are to be taken with the least possible delay. The provincial government of Kwangtung has been reorganised and will be duly inaugurated to-day. Two new departments have been created, viz., Judicial and Communications.\n\nThe personnel of the new provincial government will be as follows:\n\nCommissioner of Civil Department, Mr. Chan Shiu-yan.\n\nFinance, Mr. T.

During 1925 there were 18 seizures of narcotic drugs by the Maritime Customs. All were on Japanese steamers and all the drugs were from Japan. The seizures amounted to\n\nHeroin\n\nCocaine\n\nMorphia\n\n2,586 ounces\n\n300\n\n30\n\n15\n\n11\n\nThese seizures would not equal a quarter of that burnt in Peking alone, therefore the conviction cannot be avoided that many times the seized quantity gets through.\n\nFUKIEN\n\nReviewing the whole province reports give the impression that less poppy was planted this season. Whilst this is beneficial to the people, it in no sense indicates reform. Where military compulsion has been relaxed the farmers have not planted opium. The selling price for the farmer is recorded in some places to be as low as 80 cents an ounce and this, with the excessive land tax and the high price of food, offers no encouragement.\n\nThe Secretary of the Fukien Branch of the International Anti-Opium Association writes: \"Briefly let me state that there has been a great deal of opium planted throughout the province this year. This planting has in the majority of cases been forced by the military officials. In some respects the people have felt that it was almost a hopeless situation. Anyone who protested against the tactics of the military leaders was in some manner arrested, or false charges brought against them for being implicated in opium business. This has meant that very few voices have been raised against opium growing in the interior parts of the province. The bandit situation is unusually bad throughout the province.\n\nChinkiang, Nan An and Burri An. The poppy taxes in these places are farmed out to a notorious merchant named Tseng Hou-kuan of Amoy for the sum of $1,000,000 by the Military Governor Chou Yin-jen. Taxation offices are established under the Defence Commissioner Kong Chao-tung. Troops were sent to villages to urge poppy cultivation, those who refused were arrested and fined.\n\nThe notorious monopoly merchant Tseng was on one occasion attacked by the people and almost assassinated. Now in March when the poppy is almost ripe, the Defence Commissioner is sending his troops to collect the third installment of the taxes, and the people who cannot afford to pay it have left their homes and are hiding.\n\nTung An district comes first in South Fukien, as $2,000,000 is expected in this one place. Tung An is divided into 4 sections. The taxes in this district are monopolized by the provincial representatives, Cheng Shao Wu and Tsai Yu Chun. The latter lives at Tung An and the former at Kuan Kou, the north section. The people call them the \"Poppy Kings\". These two persons are followed by troops, wherever they go.\n\nMaking. This place covers a space of 50, but for all that more than $800,000 is raised from poppy. The Chairman of the Makong Merchants' Guild got the monopoly and forces the people to plant.\n\nAu Hui, Chuan Chen, Shan Tuà Cheny in the Nan An district, and Peng Hu in the Yung Chun district. Some of the places are under military authorities and others under local men with authority from the Governor. The local men do not push cultivation as do the military, and whilst these districts are not uniform yet taking them altogether I judge that the poppy planted this year is not more than one-third of last year's cultivation.\n\nIng Tai District. Opium is sold openly all over this district. It comes mostly from Hinghua district to the south of us, where large crops have been grown during the last five or six years. No opium has been grown here since the military General was removed four years ago,\n\nSouth Fukien.\n\nChin Nan. The Finance Re-adjustment Office at Chin Nan issued notices in November 1925 urging all farmers to plant opium at the usual tax of $12 a mou.\n\nQuinoy. Here an opium monopoly has been established and farmed to a joint stock company of officials and gentry for the sum of $200,000. This sum is to be paid to the Navy authorities. The greatest shareholder is Yang Shou-t'u the magistrate.\n\nAmoy. It is estimated that $20,000 is collected monthly from the smoking dens of Amoy by the Opium Inspection Office. These dens are graded according to the number of opium lamps and pay from $16 to $30 a month.\n\nStenyu. The poppy planted this year is enormous. Greater than last year.\n\nIn some localities half the fields are poppy. Villagers must pay the tax of $20 a mou whether they plant opium or not.\n\nCommander Chow assumed office on March 6, 1926 as Director of The Opium Inspection Office and immediately issued a long proclamation calling on the farmers to pay their opium taxes in return for which they would receive ample military protection.

There has not been any compulsory cultivation, though the imposition of the so-called \"lazy tax\" of the neighbouring province of Szechuan has been mooted. Opium has always been extensively cultivated because of its market value. The two main reasons for lessened cultivation are lack of food cereals, and facilities for exportation.\n\nA correspondent writes from Central Kweichow: \"There is a falling off in this district of 7% opium cultivation due not to moral incentives but the high price of rice and wheat. Last year everyone planted opium, and left it to the other fellow to grow cereals and starvation was the result.\"\n\nKireigong. As plentiful as last year.\n\nTuu Jen. Owing to the drought of last summer farmers have been obliged to plant wheat this year. Probably only one-fourth as much opium planted. There is however enough of last year's opium left on hand to supply this year's demand. There is no compulsory cultivation, farmers have always planted because of the big profits. We have been overrun during the year with armies, this place has changed hands many times, hence great difficulty in exporting opium.\n\nTsung. A falling off in production this year in this district due to the high price of food. Opium planted in 9th and 10th month, reaped in 3rd month.\n\nTaxes: 1 ounce of opium out of every 10 ounces produced.\n\nLand tax varies with the military demands.\n\nLamp tax $1.20 a lamp each month.\n\nOpium sold at 50 cents an ounce.\n\nNumber of smoking dens in this district 2,000.\n\nOpium smokers equal 90% of adult population. Cultivation is voluntary.\n\nAuping. About three-eighths less poppy planted this season than formerly. The reason being famine last year.\n\nGovernor Pen has imposed a lamp tax of $3 a month on opium dens, and $1 a month on private lamps.\n\nKiensi, Tatung, Pichteh, Chishui and all the region under the control of General Chiu Hsi-chen, the lamp tax is not imposed but the poppy land is taxed instead.\n\nChenguan, Panghai and Szenam. Poppy not planted so extensively. Farmers cannot afford to waste their land, they must have food. Rice crop totally ruined last year.\n\nMilitary and officials are doing their best to force the cultivation of opium by imposing a heavy opium tax on all land, consequently it is feared that cultivation will be as great as formerly, when the famine scourge is passed. Two days ago an official called on me and in conversation I mentioned about China prohibiting opium, the official replied: \"Oh, that is a mere paper proclamation for the Kweichow Governor has issued strict orders throughout the province to impose the opium tax on all farmers whether they plant or not\".\n\nMANCHURIA\n\nIn the three administrative areas or provinces of Manchuria there is an extensive traffic in opium and narcotics, whilst opium is grown only in Kirin and Heilungchiang with long frontiers adjoining Russia and Korea, narcotic drugs find easy access.\n\nFengtien. There is no poppy according to reports from the following districts:\n\nChin Asien, Hsing Cheny, Swichung, Chin Hai, Hungle and I Haien. Opium is however consumed in large quantities. Most of this opium comes from the adjacent districts of Jehol.\n\nFakumen District. No opium grown; very few opium dens, mostly belonging to Japanese. Smoking is very secret, and confined to gentry and officials of whom about 20% are addicted.\n\nA certain degree of control is exerted in Southern Manchuria by the Mukden Government, nevertheless the city of Mukden is still a great centre for narcotic drugs contraband.\n\nIn the Japanese leased territory of Kuantung a Government opium monopoly exists with registration of smokers and similar laws and penalties as those in Formosa. No poppy is cultivated and the opium used is imported from Persia. The average yearly importation into Dairen for the last ten years was 32,000 lbs.\n\nKirin, The northern part of this province has been for years cultivating opium under the former Defence Commissioner, who collects opium land and smoking den taxes. Since the latter removed to Shantung, conditions have improved though by no means eliminated, because such numbers had developed the opium habit. The decrease in poppy cultivation may be judged from the following reliable reports:\n\n1922 - approximately 75,500 mou of land\n\n1923 - 84,550\n\n1924 - 43,550\n\n1925 - 28,400\n\nThis moderate estimate for 1925 would yield an average harvest of 50 tons of opium, most of which finds its way to the large cities.\n\nThis province almost touches Vladivostok on the East and the enormous traffic in Persian and Turkish opium in that port has been referred to elsewhere. Harbin is the centre for narcotic drugs from Europe, and as a cosmopolitan city its indulgence beggars description. Morphia, heroin and cocaine are used even by children,\n\nHeilungchiang. This is the northern province of Manchuria. Poppy is extensively cultivated particularly on the Russian side of the frontier. Opium is openly sold, and the smoking habit widespread.\n\nSHANSI\n\nTotal prohibition of opium and narcotics is still maintained throughout the province. The Governor General, Yen Hsi-shan, has sent us detailed reports from over 60 hsien Branches of our Association in the province, of which a few are given below as a sample.\n\nThe smuggling of both opium and morphia pills is their greatest trouble and in the event of war conditions as in 1925, smugglers become more daring. Shensi supplies most of the opium and Honan both opium and morphia.\n\nAnti-opium education is the main corrective force in the province, together with curing houses, magisterial supervision, and police suppression of smugglers. The rural method of supervision is by subdivision\n\nPage 506\n\nPage 510\n\nPage 511",

In order to achieve success in our revolutionary enterprises, our members must first of all have a firm and sincere union, treating the College as their own home and their colleagues as brothers.\n\nIn the past year, the College was started with 500 students, and later 1,000 men were recruited, and our every work was formed. In the spring of this year, we took Chiu Chow and Ka Ying Chow, and on our return to Canton in later months, we expelled Young Hi Man and Leu Chenn. On our second expedition to the East River in the 10th moon, we succeeded in the capture of Wei Chow despite its many strategic advantages, and then drove our enemies out of Chiu Chow and Ka Ying Chow. All of us fought with all bravery, and about 600 of our men died. Indeed, they have died gloriously, but we cannot help weeping for our loss of them. We have shed our blood, but we have not yet done anything to relieve the pain of the people and to make our race powerful. The militarists are as cruel as before, while the Powers are growing in violence. We have not yet revenged ourselves on them for the terrible massacre they committed, and have not yet got the shameful unequal treaties cancelled; neither the aspiration of our President has as yet been realized, nor his teaching put into practice.\n\n83",

HERKLOTS.\n\nFamily HIRUNDINIDAE (Swallows and Martins).\n\nThe Swallows and Martins are swift flying insectivorous birds, catching their prey always on the wing. They have a wide gape, the short triangular bill is hooked at the tip, culmen nearly straight except at the tip, nostrils exposed. They have long and narrow wings with nine primaries, the secondaries are very short. The tail is more or less forked. Their legs are weak and though suitable for perching are not much good for walking; in consequence, the birds rarely come to the ground save to bathe in shallow pools and puddles and to pick up pellets of mud for their nests. The Swallows are related to the Flycatchers, Shrikes, and Birds-of-Paradise. The Swifts, though in some respects superficially like the Swallows (e.g., in their complete mastery of the art of flight), are not even in the same order, being in fact closely related to the Hummingbirds and akin to the Nightjars.\n\nHONG KONG SPECIES:- One swallow, the Eastern House-Swallow, Hirundo rustica gutturalis Scop., is a common summer visitor which breeds in the Colony; another, the Japanese Striated or Golden-Rumped Swallow, Hirundo daurica japonica T. & S., is a migrant species which spends a few days or a week or so in the Colony before proceeding northwards to its breeding grounds in China, Manchoukuo, and Japan. The Siberian House Martin, Delichon urbica whiteleyi, possibly migrates across the Colony regularly every year but has only once been recognized by us.\n\nDESCRIPTION.\n\nThe Eastern House-Swallow L.T. 6¾ inches. Plate 6, two lower figures. Length about 6½ inches. \"Forehead, base of fore crown, chin, and throat chestnut, very dark on forehead and fore crown; lores velvety black, sides of head otherwise glossy black; upper parts steel-blue, bases of hind neck and upper back-feathers white, those of rest of upper parts grey or dark brown; surface of wings and tail dull black, the wing-coverts and tertiaries glossed with metallic greenish-blue, the tail with a row of white spots near the tips of the inner webs of all the side-rectrices, but not showing unless the tail is spread out; an irregular black band on the upper breast, broken or encroached upon more or less by the chestnut of the throat.\" \"The rest of the underparts are either pure white, or else vinous-rufous or pale brick-red in various light or darker shades. In the rufous-bellied birds, the under tail-coverts are all darker than the abdomen, these varieties corresponding with those found in the European Swallow. In the white-bellied variety, the under tail-coverts are centred with blackish or brown. The young in first plumage are dull brownish above with very little gloss,\n\nPage 10\n\nPage 11",

These dates and the fact that the birds were seen only once in the month makes us think that in April the species migrates across the Colony northwards, small parties stopping for a short time to rest and feed. We have a record from Nanking for April 28 when the species arrived there. This species nests in the Min Valley, the Yangtse Valley, Chefoo, and further north in Manchoukuo and Japan.\n\nThe Siberian House Martin has only once been seen by us, a party of birds, in the company of Eastern House-Swallows, hawking flies over a village pond at Sek Kong near Kam Tin on April 2, 1934. La Touche, I, p. 384 writes of this species that it \"is not frequently seen on the China coast; the two specimens in my collection, one of which is from Shaweishan and the other shot by me at Chingwangtao, and a flock noticed by Vaughan and Jones on 16th March, 1907, at Hong Kong are about the only records. This species breeds in Siberia.\n\nNESTING HABITS.\n\nThe Eastern House-Swallow has similar nesting habits to its European cousin. The nests are built of mud, mixed perhaps with a little straw or grass, in the form of a saucer or cup and lined with feathers, they are fixed under the eaves of a house or on a ledge of rock. Inhabited houses and old deserted ruins are equally favoured. Four or five eggs are laid; they are white with a pale mauve tint and with small purplish brown speckles mostly towards the larger end. Size 18 x 13 mm. (See plate I, Egg No. 11, H.K.N. IV, 1933). The breeding season in Hong Kong is from mid March to the end of June. We have records of nest building March 12, eggs April 8 and 28 and young in nest May 20. In England the birds have up to four broods in a season; Caldwell in \"South China Birds\" gives two for Fukien.\n\nCROW-PHEASANTS, ADDITIONAL NOTES.\n\nIn the last issue of this journal on page 3 under Nesting Habits a reference was made on line 28 to a nest of the Chinese Crow-Pheasant found in a branch of a screw pine and built of course bladed grasses. The nest was made entirely of leaves of Pandanus odoratissimus and not of coarse bladed grasses as stated. This nest is illustrated in Plate 7 figure 2.\n\nA\n\nJust before the last issue went to press a note was added at the end of the article on page 4 about a nest of the Lesser Crow-Pheasant. photograph of this nest is reproduced here on Plate 7 figure 3.\n\nJuly 1935.\n\n13",

It sounded like, \"Currah currah.\" We went out to discover its origin. Presently a Lesser Crow-Pheasant flew onto the top of a small pine tree in the garden and commenced calling, “Coop currah currah.\" We watched the bird through binoculars whilst it sang. The call was quite different to that of the Chinese Crow Pheasant, the \"coop\" being on one note, there being no inflection at the end. We have, since that day, frequently heard this species calling in Pokfulam but never have seen it again.

He lived through stirring times in European and Colonial history, but through them all he showed that unique detachment of mind which is more interested in the nesting habits of the nightjar than in the Declaration of Independence; is more affected by an unusual cloud of insects than by the French Revolution. He left us two interesting observations. One of these, in May 1777, was on earthworms. About a hundred years later Charles Darwin took up the hint then dropped and gave us \"The Formation of Vegetable Mould through the Action of Worms.”\n\nIn the second observation, about a year later, Gilbert White says:-\n\n\"Of all sorts of vegetation the grasses seem to be most neglected, neither the farmer nor the grazier seem to distinguish the annual from the perennial, the hardy from the tender, nor the succulent and nutritive from the dry and juiceless. The study of grasses would be of great consequence to a northerly and grazing kingdom. The botanist that could improve the sward of the district where he lived would be a useful member of society: to raise a thick turf on a naked soil would be worth volumes of systematic knowledge; and he would be the best commonwealth's man that could occasion the growth of 'two blades of grass where only one was seen before.'\n\n21\n\nMrs. Arber has now taken the hint and given us this monumental work on the grasses.* The work, of course, has not come a ready-made and completed miracle from the brain of Mrs. Arber as Athena came from the head of Zeus. For more than a generation the public has been indebted to her for her monographs and studies on the grasses and other families: botanists have requisitioned her erudition and research on monocotyledons, water-plants, and indeed over the whole range of morphological studies. And now after more than thirty years of intensive study she has epitomised her researches in this masterly volume, utilizing in her path all the scholarship and research which the great band of agrostologists from all over the world have placed at the disposal of the scientific scholar. But how few there are who could have used this mass of material with the wonderful skill and appropriateness which Mrs. Arber has displayed!\n\nThe study of the grasses embraces so much and is so far-reaching in its effects from the creation of the world to the flora of the New Jerusalem; from the diet of palaeolithic man to the food questions of President Roosevelt; from the latest news from Lord's or Wimbledon to the state of our digestion after a breakfast of shredded wheat or puffed rice—that any work dealing with the whole subject must stretch out into volumes.

CROOK\n\nmethod the subject is treated there will be some readers who will want something different, some who will be disappointed that their particular pet hobby has not been sufficiently emphasised.\n\nMrs. Arber says her book was not logically planned but simply grew. Her own words are, she \"allowed the book to write itself.\" This of course, must not be taken as the equivalent of the schoolboy's well-known cloak of excuse, \"I didn't do it, Sir: it was my hand.\" The first few chapters all too short-give an account of the cereals, their putative homes, history, and relationships to their wild cousins. Considering that the whole of human existence and civilization is bound up with these cereals we are surprised that Mrs. Arber curtailed these chapters so much. Even at the expense of a book twice the size we need all the information we can get. One whole side of the question is shut out with the laconic words: \"An account of cereal geography would be outside the scope of this book.\"\n\nShe offers no pronounced opinion on the relative antiquity of wheat, barley, rice and maize as domesticated plants, though if botanists could assist in settling this question, or throw some light on it, they would thereby greatly aid the solution of the whole vexed question of the priority of civilization in Egypt, Mesopotamia, China, or Peru.\n\nMrs. Arber mentions the interesting fact that maize is the only cereal which may not lead a feral existence: \"it cannot propagate itself spontaneously, for the grain does not escape from the husks without help.” The most natural explanation of this fact would seem to be that the grain had been so long domesticated that it had lost the essential means of survival, whereas the other cereals were only on the way towards losing them. This of course is a supposition, but Mrs. Arber rather than assume it seems to prefer the derivation of the plant 'possibly by a process of hybridisation' from Teosinte (Euchlaena mexicana), the grass of nearest affinity to it in the New World. When Mrs. Arber says \"the grain does not escape from the husks without help\" we naturally wonder if there might not have been in days gone by, in the native home of the grain, a parrot or some such bird which might have been the effective ministrant. A plant like maize, which supplies en masse a proliferation of seed as in the corn-cob, could well afford to sacrifice 60% to 70% of each cob if it thereby got 5% to 10% disseminated. Some of the parrots can handle a cob with great dexterity. But if the Indians of America adopted this grain as their chief domestic plant they would naturally kill out this enemy to their food supply.\n\nOf the rice plant we are told that \"the earliest record we have of it is in old Chinese writings and it has been cultivated continuously in that country since the remote past.\" When Mrs. Arber wrote her book Mr. Andersson's \"Children of the Yellow Earth\" was only in the press. In this latter work (p. 336) in speaking of the fragments of a jar from the Yang Shao civilization Mr. Andersson says:----\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.",

        "content_text": "Grasses\n\n91\n\n\"We happened to examine more closely a fragment of a jar from Yang Shao Tsun. It was unusually thick in the wall, porous and full of plant imprints. Two Swedish botanists, G. Edman and E. Söderberg, examined this small fragment and their examination led to the most important discovery in this field since the discovery in 1921 of the Yang Shao dwelling site. It could be shown with certainty that the plant imprints in this fragment were husks of cultivated rice (Oryza sativa). The discovery was in a high degree sensational not only because it sets back the history of rice an immense distance in time, but also because it points not to dry Central Asia, but to rainy Southern Asia, which is the homeland of rice.'\n\n\"\n\nIt thus looks as if we should have to give rice the pre-eminence in antiquity of all the cereals. Its home was probably the Burma-Siam region or perhaps Southern China, though Mrs. Arber does not shut out the possibility of tropical Africa. When did it first reach Europe? If its original home was Africa it possibly reached Europe in very early times. But if, as seems more probable, its original home was the monsoon area of Eastern Asia it probably did not reach Europe till Saracen times. Gibbon, however, gives quite another view. He says of the Roman marriage, \"the contracting parties tasted a salt cake of far or rice, and this confarreation, which denoted the ancient food of Italy, (italics ours) seemed as an emblem of their mystic union of mind and body.\" Gibbon was probably no botanist any more than Dr. Johnson, but we should have been pleased if Mrs. Arber had told us whether there was any foundation for Gibbon's belief that rice was \"the ancient food of Italy.\" Some of the facts which Mrs. Arber does mention about rice are well worthy of note. One often wonders why some of the Eastern peoples keep rice as their staple food, especially as it is dearer than wheat, and not a very complete food stuff (\"it lacks nitrogenous matter and also fat.\") But we get this interesting piece of information which may possibly account for a good deal:-\"The deficiencies of the grain from the food standpoint become virtues under tropical conditions, since they improve its keeping capacity.\"\n\nCurious and disjointed facts which we have heard in youth sometimes stay in our heads a long time. When I was a schoolboy we had Robinson Crusoe as an examination text-book, and the teacher, believing that the examiners were likely to ask a question on de Foe's errors in Robinson Crusoe, had carefully coached us on all these mistakes. I have forgotten them all now, except one. I don't think my teacher was a botanist but he told us that when Robinson Crusoe is represented as emptying the bag of remains of barley and rice on the ground under the rocks and later finding barley and rice growing, that de Foe had made a mistake; that the rice grain in this condition would not grow; that it was the only grain which lost its germ in being hulled.*\n\nNow the rice grain as we get it for food has no germ. Mrs. Arber, of course, does not mention in what stage of the process\n\n* Since writing the above I have found that this error and others in Robinson Crusoe are mentioned by Archbishop Whately in his Commonplace Book, and my teacher seems to have got them from this source.\n\nJuly 1935.\n\n18",

But Mrs. Arber does not mention whether any of the near allies of rice lose their germ as readily as rice seems to do.\n\nWe should have liked a lengthier discussion on the antiquity and possible birthplace of the sugar-cane-\"the only important perennial grass grown for human food.\" \"It is selected for sterility, since the store of sugar in the stem would be exhausted by the act of flowering.\" So this is the reason that the plant never flowers. Many a time in South China and Formosa I have asked the Chinese farmer for the flower and fruit of the sugar-cane and he always replied that it had none. Mr. Silvens in his \"Texas Grasses\" also notes, \"rarely blooms in the United States.\" \"There are indications that the cultivation of the sugar-cane began very early in India\" but we are not given any precise idea of what this 'very early' means. Mrs. Arber does not refer to the two passages in the Old Testament where the sugar-cane is mentioned-Isaiah XLIII, v. 24, \"Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices\"; and Jeremiah VI, v. 20 \"to what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba and the sweet cane from a far country?\" So evidently the Hebrews of 600 or 700 B.C. were familiar with the sugar-cane as a domestic plant, though like spices it was an import 'from a far country'. Alphonse de Candolle, in \"The Origin of Cultivated Plants\" (p. 159), says, \"On the other hand the Hebrew writings do not mention sugar\". But Alphonse de Candolle was a Frenchman, and the French are almost proverbially ignorant of the Bible. Not so, however, Mrs. Arber.\n\nWhen we come to the résumé of our knowledge of the bamboos and the origin of the tree-habit as exemplified by them we reach some of the most interesting part of the book. Like the shady Bishop, \"our interest's on the dangerous edge of things\", though perhaps 'the dangerous edge' is not quite the same for the Bishop and for us. But readers of some of these fascinating chapters must feel that Mrs. Arber has an interest in the dangerous edge of things too, but inspired and tempered by her unique scholarship and academic restraint. When the man in the street thinks about the development of plants at all he seems generally to conclude that the herbaceous forms appeared first, and that some of these, strengthening and lignifying their vascular tissues, grew into shrubs and trees. Botanists, on the other hand, were inclined to reverse this order: they generally held that the herbaceous forms were later than the woody forms; the herbaceous and annual grasses would thus be the later and more modern arrivals. This view seemed to be rather supported from an examination of the flower. Thus the flower of the bamboos conformed more closely to what was accepted as the original typical monocotyledonous type. Mrs. Arber, however, questions this theory, and substitutes for it the\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.",

        "content_text": "Grasses\n\n93\n\ndoctrine of 'evolutionary lag'. Lest we should do an injustice to her theory we must put the crucial part of her statement in her own words:-\n\n•\n\n\"In discussions on the tree and herb habit in Angiosperms, a mode of statement is often used, which seems to me to be the root of much morphological evil: I mean that in comparing various groups of flowering plants, botanists are apt to speak of some as more ancient than others. Every one of the various lineages must have lived through all the time that has elapsed since the original stock came into being, and it is hence a misuse of language to talk of one lineage as being ‘older’ than another. This usage is sometimes defended on the ground that 'old' or 'ancient' in this sense means 'having primitive characteristics' but I do not think that the word 'old' should be treated as a synonym for 'old-fashioned'. Now there is a time-relation, to which attention has been drawn in Sinnott's paper on \"Comparative Rapidity of Evolution in Various Plant Types,\" which is of the first importance when considered in connection with the equality of evolutionary age of all existing stocks of flowering plants. This point is the shortness of generations in herbs as compared with trees. Sinnott estimates that in herbaceous species we may reckon fifty to a hundred generations to a century, and in most trees only four or five. It is possible that he exaggerates this difference in general, but in some of the Gramineae it is undoubtedly even more striking than his figures suggest.\n\nThe dictum, that \"the single step in evolution is not a year but a generation,\" must be accepted, if we believe that evolutionary development depends on the changes in the germ cells which come about in connection with sexual reproduction. It is thus obvious, a priori, that, in a given period of years, the herb will have more numerous chances than the tree of undergoing the changes in its genic outfit which condition variations. This theoretical conclusion is confirmed by the statistical facts concerning the number of species in genera and families of trees and herbs; for it is clear that the existence of a relatively high number of species in a genus or family means that it has been the scene of correspondingly active evolutionary development. Sinnott shows that in the Dicotyledons the average number of species in the woody genera is 12.5, while in the herbaceous genera it is 15. The existence of this evolutionary lag—if we may so name it—among trees as compared with herbs is well demonstrated by Sinnott, and yet he hardly seems to appreciate its full significance. In the Leguminosae, two of the subfamilies, Mimoseae and Caesalpineae, with their regular or nearly regular flowers, are without question more primitive in type than the Papilionatae, with their curious butterfly-shaped blossoms. Now of the 121 genera in the first two subfamilies, 113 are wholly woody, and the other 8 contain both woody and herbaceous forms; there are no entirely herbaceous genera. In the Papilionatae, on the other hand, 29% of the genera are herbaceous. It is evident, therefore, that the more primitive members of the Leguminosae are almost all woody, but that there is a much higher percentage of herbs in the part of the family with more specialised\n\nJuly 1935,\n\n•\n\n10",

Sinnott and Bailey interpret these facts as showing that the family was originally arboreal, and that a subsequent reduction from the tree to the herbaceous type in certain genera has been accompanied by the development of specialised flowers. But bearing in mind the evolutionary lag in the tree form, it is surely more logical to suppose that the Leguminosae were originally herbaceous, and that those lineages which adopted the tree habit, put a brake, as it were, upon their own evolution and thus dropped behind the lineages which by remaining herbaceous, retained the power of mounting the ladder of floral specialization at a relatively rapid rate. The Leguminosae are by no means the only family in which the same process can be followed. The example which chiefly concerns us here, but to which Sinnott and Bailey do not refer, is the Gramineae. The herbaceous grasses have, as a rule, extremely reduced flowers, but the flowers of the dendroid Bambuseae approximate much more closely to the usual monocotyledonous type.\n\nSo far so good. But surely Mrs. Arber must admit that the genera of the Bambuseae themselves ought to show this evolutionary lag more clearly in those where the generations are slow than in the annual or biennial forms; i.e. the flowers of those bamboos with a long period between their generations should approximate much more closely to the usual monocotyledonous type than the flowers of those which are annual or have a short period. But this is not so. Thus Dendrocalamus sp. with about a twenty-five or thirty year breeding period has numerous stamens; and Ochlandra sp., also with a slow breeding period, shows numerous structural variations from what might be considered the type form. While some of the annual bamboos, like Arundinaria Wightiana, which have therefore much more chance of undergoing the changes of genic outfit, remain much closer to the usual monocotyledonous type. It must be noted, however, that many of the changes which do take place in the bamboos are in the nature of proliferation of the parts rather than reduction.\n\nThere is so much to comment upon and so many interesting details to quote in this volume that selection is difficult. The way in which cytology has come to the assistance of the observer and the field naturalist forms a very interesting branch of modern research. The early settlers in America were hard up for fodder grasses. Several British meadow grasses had to be imported. One, Phleum pratense L., introduced by Timothy Hansen, proved a very useful fodder grass. It was sent back to England a stronger and stouter plant under the name of 'Timothy grass.' Cytologists have now found that the returned emigrant has 42 chromosomes instead of the 14 with which the original wild 'Pilgrim Father' started out. Poa pratensis has also gone across to the States, and has become the famous 'Kentucky blue-grass.' Mrs. Arber makes the interesting suggestion that it, too, may be found to be a polyploid form i.e. a grass which has multiplied its chromosomes. This polyploidy is possibly initiated by crossing with some other species—though by what species these particular grasses were fertilised may now perhaps never be discovered.\n\nPolyploidy, too, seems to have played its part in the production of that useful grass Spartina townsendi of which Mrs. Arber gives an interesting\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.\n\nPage 20\n\nPage 21",

It has since spread rapidly along the South coast and has invaded the Normandy coast of France. It was thought at first to be a foreign invader—but this is now disbelieved. Cytological evidence shows that it has no less than 126 chromosomes. So that possibly hybridisation and doubling of the chromosomes may account for this useful arrival. My first acquaintance with it was in 1918 from Carey and Oliver's \"Tidal Lands.\" At the time I was in Hong Kong and was anxious to have the grass tried experimentally on those terrible inter-tidal mud flats which disfigure so much of the sea coast in the New Territory. I then failed but I hope to try again. Its speed of growth and usefulness in reclaiming salt-marshes and mud swamps have made this grass a godsend, and now Mrs. Arber gives a glowing account of its beauty in the Baie des Veys on the French coast. Who knows but if it were transplanted to the mud flats of the Canton River it might become more polyploid still and not only transfigure the landscape there but return to us as a beneficial emigrant like Timothy.\n\nIt would be sheer impertinence on our part to attempt to criticise this book. Its format, its printing, and Mrs. Arber's delicate illustrations make it a perfect pleasure to read. Almost 500 pages of highly technical English terms, as well as hosts of botanical names, generic and specific without, as far as we could see, a single error, throw a lustre on the Cambridge University Press and all concerned in its production. True, we might pick a crow with Mrs. Arber about some of her terms, but we know we could only expect a few quills. Mrs. Arber is painfully fastidious about her terminology, as witness her notes on the spelling of gynæcium and andrœcium, but yet she writes caryopses as the plural of caryopsis. We doubt it has classical justification, but it is not sanctioned by the S.O.E.D. Again, she writes 'stomates'—possibly an early form. This, too, is not sanctioned by the S.O.E.D.; for though it gives the singular 'stomate,' it distinctly states that this is the singular of 'stomata.' She has monantochloë—possibly the original form. But 'anthos,' not 'antos,' is the Greek for a flower: but even if Linnaeus himself or Darwin made the mistake originally that is no reason why it should be followed now. In another place she writes, 'the twist of the column is dextral.' Now here, though Mrs. Arber has the S.O.E.D. with her, we cannot agree. An old mathematical master at school never tired of telling us, of motion in a circle or a spiral you can never say left or right, sinistral or dextral: you must always say clockwise and contraclockwise.\n\nWhen I read the account of the twist in the awn of avena, anthoxanthum, stipa, and danthonia I took out specimens of the plants to see if the direction of the twist was constant. Mrs. Arber offers no explanation of the direction or constancy. As a few of my specimens were from Natal my interest naturally turned to them to see if the twist was in the opposite direction (for Marie Stopes' baby would kick itself round so as to have its head pointing to the South pole if it was born south of the Equator). But they were all alike. But is there unfailing constancy of twist? Mrs. Arber quotes from Percival, apparently with approval, the\n\nJuly 1935.\n\n22",

        "content_text": "Hong Kong Spiders \n\n99 \n\nThe young Argiopes, immature females, make a small web which has at first no proper stabilimentum but only a lacework of stronger threads at the centre, \n\nThe mature female of anasuja always rested at the centre of the web head downwards. When alarmed she used to raise her body outwards from the web and then suddenly pop through the opening right at the centre of the web within the X of the ribbons to the other side. \n\nThe male Argiope is much smaller than his mate (4 mm.) and very inconspicuous, being only a plain purple brown in colour. He is found usually on the edge of the big web or on a tiny web of his own near by. \n\nArgiope aemula was originally described by Walckenaer from the Celebes. It has been obtained since from Burma, Ceylon, different parts of India, Nicobar Isles and Malaysia. The genus is widespread in the Tropics and sub-Tropics with the headquarters in Malaya and Oceania from which some 40 species have been identified. One species is European and another Canadian. Several species have a very wide distribution such as the type A. lobata Pallas which extends from a great part of Africa through \n\nCentral Asia to India. \n\nThe genus is easily recognised by the white X on the web and again by the richness of the livery. \n\nWithin Hong Kong A. aemula has been taken at the Peak, Tai O and Aberdeen. \n\nGenus ARANEUS, Clerck 1757. \n\n7. Araneus de Haanii Dol. \n\nFirst described by Doleschall in \"Verh. Nat. Vereen. Neder. Ind. V. p. 33 (1859). Thorell in 'Ragni Birmani' p. 178 (1887) gives the synonymy under Epeira. Pocock in his 'Arachnida' p. 225 gives a brief description and a figure. \n\nThe species de haanii is a large type of Araneus, the mature female reaching a length of one inch (25 mm.) \n\nIn colour the cephalothorax is reddish and covered with white hairs; legs and palps red; abdomen yellow brown generally with darker mottled areas below, dark brown in front of shoulder points and again below the terminal point. There is a large conical tubercle over each pair of lateral eyes. Abdomen is triangular in outline with two distinct sharp shoulder points in front and a median terminal one. There is a very strong scape to the vulva. Workman figures the species in his \"Malaysian Spiders.\" From the specimens I have examined, the colour markings seem to be most variable for in some cases there is a dark brownish mark on the abdomen dorsally arching across from the two shoulder points then extending downwards to the point at the tip; the front and sides round this patch being yellowish. \n\nThe web is said by Workman to be vertical and from 20′′-24′′ across with a line reaching to the spider's resting place under a leaf. \n\nJuly 1935- \n\n27",

RAE SHERRIFFS\n\nThe Hong Kong specimens came from (1) Kowloon City and (2) Shau-ki-wan and were both captured in August 1931.\n\nThis species has a wide distribution in the East Indies viz;- whole of Malaya, Sumatra, New Guinea, Burma, Ceylon and India. Not unnaturally therefore there are several synonyms, cf. bogoriensis, submucronata and Khandarensis.\n\nThe male is much smaller than the female and was described by Thorell under the name of Epeïra caestata (1890).\n\nFamily THERIDIIDAE.\n\nGenus ARGYRODES, Simon 1864.\n\n8. Argyrodes fissifrons, O. Pickard-Cambridge.\n\nFirst described in \"The Journal of the Linnean Society\" Zool. X, p. 380 (1869).\n\nThe genus Argyrodes includes a number of small so-called parasitic spiders because they live on the big webs of other larger spiders such as Nephila, Cyrtophora, Psechrus, etc. These spiders were first noticed by Dr. Vinson in the Island of Reunion and described in his \"Araneides des Iles de la Reunion, Maurice et Madagascar\" 1863 pp. 268-276. He first noticed their small webs placed between the strands of the large web and found them eating the young of another species.\n\nThese parasitic spiders evidently escape the notice of the bigger spider and take food that she finds too small to bother with. Vinson called his first species Linyphia parasitica.\n\nThe species fissifrons derives its name from the male where the fore part of the head is prominent and divided horizontally by a deep fissure into 2 lobes, the lower one being the stronger. Both lobes have strong, prominent hairs on them, but especially the upper one. In spirit specimen the colours are as follows:- cephalothorax yellow brown: legs of same colour with darker bands and not very hairy: abdomen oblong rounded in front and produced behind over the spinnerets which are prominent. Abdomen dorsally is pale yellow brown with two longitudinal silvery lines meeting behind; these lines branch at the sides and become margined with deep red brown approaching black. Both sexes have the same colourings and the abdomen may have scattered silvery spots in addition to the lines. Tip of abdomen in the female is distinctly pointed as compared with the projecting bluff end in the male. She has not the deep cleft in the head so characteristic of the male. The female has a characteristic dark brown spot on the tip of the abdomen and another of the same kind and size low down behind the spinnerets.\n\nThe female measures 5 mm. long and the male about the same. The cocoon containing the eggs has a characteristic shape like a pear or globular with a blunt tip downwards: at the top end there is a long stalk which divides at its upper end into two diverging branches which attach the cocoon to the strands of the big web of the host (see figure).\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.",

HEYWOOD.\n\nOf all the Hong Kong hills Ma On Shan is my favourite; its steep wooded slopes falling straight to the sea and the graceful curve of the skyline between its two peaks make it the most beautiful of our mountains. It is a fine climb by any route, and on a clear day the view from the summit is unsurpassed; to the west Tai Mo Shan shows its full height; to the east, seeming almost beneath one's feet so steep is the slope, lies Port Shelter, and beyond it are blue hills and blue water along miles of coast to Bias Bay in the distance. Even on a cloudy day it is worth a visit; a mountain never looks so impressive from below as when its slopes disappear into the mist, and the imagination is left to picture fantastic peaks above.\n\nThe mountain has been happily described in an article by Mr. Gibbs in H.K.N. Vol. II, p. 214; his sketch map shows all the paths referred to below.\n\n### The Hunchback Ridge.\n\nThe south and west sides of Ma On Shan can most easily be reached by taking a sampan from Lok Lo Ha, about a mile and a half beyond Shatin on the Tai Po road; the voyage across Tide Cove takes twenty minutes or so, and is a pleasant way of beginning and ending a day's scrambling. The sampan lands us at Tai Shui Hang, and we take the path which turns uphill to the left behind the last house in the village; the path winds along the side of a valley some distance above the stream until it joins the Iron Mine road near Ma On Shan village. The road is followed for a few hundred yards westward to the foot of the Hunchback ridge; a faint track can be discovered winding steeply up the ridge, which provides a most airy and exhilarating climb to the summit. The top of the first hunchback is a delectable place for the lunch halt; here the climber can recline on sun-warmed rocks, while dangling his feet over the edge of the cliff a hundred feet or so above the tree-tops.\n\nThe way up the second hunchback is steep and slippery; nailed shoes give a sense of security which the handholds of straggling grass fail to provide. The third and highest hunchback (2,226 feet) is reached in about 2 1/2 hours from Tai Shui Hang, and 20 minutes more are needed for the walk along the narrow ridge of the saddle to the top of Ma On Shan.\n\nThe short cut directly down the S.W. face towards Ma On Shan village looks simple but is not to be recommended; I have vivid recollections of a nightmare struggle to reach the stream through thick scrub, where spiders of incredible size would appear with startling suddenness a few inches in front of my face. A better way is to continue along the ridge and so down to the Iron Mine by the route described in the next paragraph.\n\n### The South Ridge.\n\nThe easiest way up the mountain starts from the Iron Mine about half a mile S.E. of Ma On Shan village. Fortunately for the walker there are at present no signs that this secluded bit of country will become a smoky industrial area. Peace reigns, and the lorry which used to jolt up and down the road between the mine and the jetty appears to have made its last journey. Beyond the mine a path crosses a shoulder of the hill into a narrow valley which descends from the high ground im-\n\nJuly 1935.",

Rather less than a mile north of Sai Kung a long wooded spur comes down to the coast, and a paved path leads up it to the village of Wong Chuk Yeung, about 700 feet above sea level. I reached this village one cloudy evening with about two hours of daylight to spare; in the still air the blue smoke from the cottages was rising into the grey blanket of mist which lay close above the roofs. A villager, whom I asked the way up the mountain, evidently thought that this mad Westerner should be discouraged from wandering on the hills so late in the evening in so thick a fog, and told me that no path existed. Not wishing to worry the kind man, I retraced my steps until out of sight, and then plunged through the bushes to an obvious path on the hillside behind the village. This took me up on to a spur and along a hummocky ridge towards the face of the mountain, with fine glimpses through the mist of the cliffs below the summit away to the right. The path turned to the left where the ridge joins the face, and finally reached the top of the south ridge about 500 yards from the summit. This climb takes about 2 hours from Sai Kung; the path is well shown on the R.A.F. map, sheets 15 and 16.\n\nSo much for the easy ways up Ma On Shan; those which can be climbed (almost) with the hands in the pockets.\n\nThe North East Face. This splendid mountain wall is thickly forested and difficult of access, but the botanist or scrambler will find it well worth a visit. Through the kindness of a friend in Tai Po our party was given a lift in a launch, which landed some of us in the bay to the east of White Head. It was a cloudy day, and most of the party scorned the delights of scrambling in the mist, and landed further down the coast for a long walk over the lower hills. We started along a track which led hopefully up the glen behind Cheung Muk Tau; unfortunately it was only a cow track, and after meandering between the bushes as cow tracks do, it disappeared completely in the deep gorge at the head of the glen. We burrowed our way up through a jungle, where wild pigs had evidently been grubbing for roots, and rather to our surprise managed to find a way out on to the ridge to the east. Here to our joy there was a path; it would probably have been better to start the climb from the foot of this spur, where it comes down to the sea at Nai Chung.\n\nWe\n\nFor another 500 feet of ascent we followed the path up the steep crest of the spur, until the latter merged into the N.E. face of the mountain. The path dwindled away, and the rest of the climb was through thick scrub, up a slope which was everywhere steep and in places precipitous. We took comfort from the thought that had we slipped on the damp and greasy rocks, the bushes would have prevented us from rolling far. Finally we emerged, breathless and triumphant, on the highest point of the Hunchbacks.\n\nJuly 1935.\n\n35",

        "content_text": "36\n\n108\n\nG. S. P. HEYWOOD\n\nThe North West Ridge of the Hunchbacks.-Like the route just described-very steep and bushy; a wearisome ascent, but admirable as a quick way off the mountain. The ridge plunges straight down from the summit of the Hunchbacks almost to sea level. A narrow track follows the edge of the ridge, like a long rabbit-hole through the bushes. When it reaches a big shoulder about 1,000 feet above sea level, the track diverges to the right and descends towards White Head. If your sampan is waiting for you at Tai Shui Hang, you will be tempted to take a short cut to the left, across the lower slopes of the mountain, where a path is shown in Mr. Gibb's sketch map.\n\nBut the path has disappeared, the hillside is thickly forested and almost impassable, and the shortest way will take the longest time. It is better to come down to the sea near White Head, and to follow the shore to Tai Shui Hang.\n\nOther ascents, more or less legendary, have been made on the north and north-west sides of Ma On Shan, but it would be a pity to describe them and so deprive the reader of the joys of exploration on this fascinating mountain.\n\nKowloon Peak to Ma On Shan.-There is a charm in a long walk on a high ridge; the uphill grind is finished early, and all day long you are walking in the cool air of the hilltops, with wide views on either side. And when at last you reach the final point of the ridge and look back on the long rank of peaks and passes which you have crossed, you feel that the day has indeed been well spent. Perhaps the finest walk in the Colony is from Kowloon Peak to Ma On Shan, along the watershed which divides Port Shelter on the East from Tide Cove and Hong Kong Harbour on the west. The ridge is never less than 1,000 feet above sea level; from end to end it is five miles as the crow flies, and the whole walk, returning by Sai Kung and over Customs Pass, is about 16 miles in length. A peak-bagger, who delights in climbing as many summits as possible in the day, will of course walk over every point on the ridge; this would involve over 5,000 feet of ascent-rather too enormous an expedition for an ordinary walker. We started at 9:30 a.m., and took an easier way, missing Kowloon Peak itself, and reaching the ridge by the Jat Incline. This excellent path starts from the Customs Pass road a short distance above the Kowloon Dairy, and climbs for 1,800 feet at an easy gradient across the flank of Kowloon Peak to the top of the ridge a few yards S.E. of Tate's Cairn. Time, 13/4 hours from the bus stop at Kai Tak.\n\nA few steps down the far side of the ridge put us out of sight of the town, and we might have been a hundred miles from civilization. This is certainly the place for a halt, to gaze on the lovely view over Port Shelter; but not a long one, for Ma On Shan, standing up nobly at the end of the ridge, is still far away. The next obstacle was the little hill obscurely named One Rise More. Perhaps this hill has no Chinese name, but in cases where native names exist it is surely better to stick to them. There are too many absurdities such as Pottinger Peak and Mount Butler in the Colony, however worthy their namesakes may have been. It is fortunate that the English name for the highest mountain in the world sounds so well, but the native name Chomolungma, \"The Goddess Mother of the Snows,\" is perhaps more beautiful and certainly more appropriate.\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist",

        "content_text": "Hong Kong Hills\n\n109\n\nMusing thus on the whims of surveyors, we decided that we could do with one rise less, and refused to clamber to the top of the hillock with the odd name.\n\nIt was avoided by skirting it to the west along a path which passes just above Tiu Tso Ngam village, and so down to Heather Pass. A few yards below this pass to the east is a spring which is always running except in the driest of seasons; here we did justice to a magnificent thirst.\n\nA paved path runs eastward from Heather Pass across the slopes of Buffalo Hill to Buffalo Pass. As far as I know, there is no path to the top of Buffalo Hill (1,987 feet), but this glorious viewpoint can be reached fairly easily by a steep scramble of 400 feet up from the pass of the same name. After this digression we returned to the pass and continued along the ridge; the route was a little vague, for the good path had descended into the valley on our left, and we had to trust to cow tracks. In clear weather there is no difficulty in following the watershed down to Delta Pass; unfortunately, however, we were by this time shrouded in thick mist. It soon became obvious to the rearguard that the leader, although he continued to plod obstinately ahead, had lost the way; in a little while some cows loomed up out of the mist; they looked strangely familiar, and closer examination proved without any doubt that they were the very cows which we had passed a quarter of an hour previously. After this chastening experience we pulled ourselves together, and found our way to Delta Pass without further mishap. Here we halted for half an hour for lunch.\n\nOn the far side of the pass is a short steep rise to Ngong Ping. This remote little village has a charm of its own; it stands on a high plateau, hidden from the rest of the world; a grove shades it in summer, and shelters it from the east wind in winter; in front are a few paddy fields, and beyond them are only the mountain tops and the wide sky.\n\nThe path crosses the paddy fields, goes over a pass west of Pyramid Hill, and descends to Ma On Shan village; we left it a few yards below the pass on the far side, and took an easy short cut across the hillside in the direction of the summit of Ma On Shan, until we struck the path up from the Iron Mine. The route from here to the summit has already been described. We reached the top in thick cloud at 2.45 p.m., halted long enough to eat an orange, and turned back to descend to Sai Kung. It was pleasant to come down out of the cloud on to lower ground; the greens and browns of the hillsides were good to look on, for colours never seem so rich as when the eyes have been attuned for hours to a grey monotone of mist.\n\nThe fishing fleet was anchored in the little harbour of Sai Kung, and from the junks came a cheerful clack of voices, like the contented sounds from a rookery in the evening. If Sai Kung were transplanted to the south coast of England, it would become a \"beauty spot\"; artists would inhabit the cottages; \"Ye Olde Ship Inne\" would inevitably make its appearance, with its ruinous prices and sham antiques, and at its doors charabancs would unload their hordes at week-ends. But away with such horrid thoughts; Sai Kung is still cut off from civilization by six miles of footpath, and if you cannot get beer to revive you for the long trudge home, at least you can get delicious oranges for next to nothing.\n\nThus refreshed, we strolled home in the dusk over Customs Pass, and at 7.10 p.m. reached the car waiting at the bottom of the hill.\n\nJuly 1935.\n\n38",

This stone recorded that in the 11th year of K'in, Woh (2) A.D. 954 a military officer named Ch'an Ts'un (1) had paid a stone mason to carve a figure of Pooi To which he put in a cave near the monastery, and which can still be seen. In the 4th year of Yuen Yau (πi) A.D. 1089 of \"Sung (✯) dynasty a general in Canton named Tseung Chi K'ei (2) wrote an account of the hill, and put it on a stone tablet in place of the old one. This second one has now disappeared, but fortunately the account is in the \"History of the 'Sun 'On district,\" and from it can be learnt that formerly there was a castle at the north of the hill, and to the west of the castle a Po To Haai (1) or \"arrest bandit station.\" No trace is left of either of these buildings, but undoubtedly this is the origin of the English name of Castle Peak.\n\nThe history of the monk Pooi To is a curious one, and the stories of the miracles he did, are very numerous. It is not known what his real name was, Pooi To being his Bhuddist name. He is supposed to have lived in the \"K'ei 'Chau (1) district at first, which is between Shantung (山東) and Chili (1) provinces. He was an uncultivated man, without family, wandering from place to place, and asking shelter from house to house. Once when he went to the then capital city of China (Sung dynasty) Kin Hong(1) he was described as looking about forty years old. He used a rope instead of a belt, his coat was all torn. He was easily pleased, but quickly angered. Sometimes he talked a lot, at other times he remained silent for whole days, and when it was very cold he would often roll in the snow. He would climb the hills in rough wooden clogs or walk about the town barefoot. He was not a vegetarian like other Bhuddist monks, but ate and drank as an ordinary man. His only possessions were a rice basket and a wooden ...\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.",

Once he went to live at a monastery called Yin Yin Tsz (E) where the abbot Faat \"Yee To Yan (A) allowed him to occupy the spare room. After staying there a while he wished to go across the 'Kwa Po river () but the ferry man seeing his ragged condition and doubting probably his ability to pay refused to take him. So Pooi To tossed his cup into the water, put his legs in it, and singing merrily he floated across to the northern shore.\n\nAnother story and one rather to his discredit tells how he stole a Bhuddist idol of gold from a house where he had been entertained. The owner gave chase, but even though he ran and Pooi To appeared to be walking slowly ahead of him, he could not catch him up. Then a man on a horse joined in the chase, but even he fared no better. At last the river, Maang Tsuh (#) was reached and the owner felt certain of being able to get his idol back, but Pooi To, a little ahead of him, calmly threw his cup in the river, and sitting in it ferried across. From these stories his name of Pooi To \"cup across\" was derived.\n\nmove it.\n\nOnce Pooi To went to a small district called Kwong Ling (M) and entered a village belonging to a family called Lei (). One of the villagers was holding a big religious ceremony and feast (called Paat 'Kwaan Tsaai A which is a vegetarian meal given free to all that call) in his house, and into the midst of this Pooi To walked calmly, and put his rice basket down in the centre of the hall, and sat down to meditate. The guests at the feast were much disgusted at his dirty appearance and tried to take the basket away, but found they could not. Lei himself tried to lift it, and called his sons to help, still they could not move it. Then Pooi To, taking no notice of them, started eating the rice and food set on the table, and when he had finished his meal, he got up, lifted up the basket and went out. Turning back at the door he said \"The four Kings of Heaven will send a lot of Happiness to your family, Lei.\" While he spoke a young child was peering into his basket, and he quickly ran and told his father that he had seen four miniature children only a few inches long and beautifully dressed, lying in the basket. Then Lei realized that Pooi To must be a holy man, and he wanted to ask him to stay, but he found Pooi To had gone. For three days he searched for him, and at last found him sitting in a little wood to the west of his house. So Lei took Pooi To back to his home, and he stayed with him for many days. The people living round about soon learnt that he was a holy man, and brought their sick to be cured by him. They would offer him money and presents, which Pooi To with his characteristic inconsistency sometimes accepted and sometimes refused.\n\nLater on a high officer named Lau 'Hing Paak () heard about Pooi To and invited him to stay in his house. Pooi To arrived carrying, as usual, his rice basket. Lau hospitably sent his servants to meet him and to carry his basket for him, but they found they could not pick it up. More servants came until there were ten of them, yet even they could not move it. Then Lau himself looked in the basket and found in it only one torn coat and one wooden cup.\n\nJuly 1935.\n\n40",

One day, just at daybreak Pooi To asked his host to make him a new coat, and said that he wanted it by noon. Lei started off at once to make it, but when noon came it was not finished, so Pooi To said \"I want to go out for a while, but I will return this evening.\" Evening came but Pooi To did not come back. Lei noticed a very sweet smell filling the house, and wondering where the fragrance came from, he went out and traced it to a stone cave. There he found Pooi To lying dead. His old torn coat was beneath him, but round his head and feet a lot of water-lilies were growing. Much grieved Lei left the cave, and the next morning he came back with a coffin. He found the water-lilies all dead, but Pooi To still there, so he buried him and went home sadly. Several days later a traveller from the North visited Lei and mentioned that he had seen Pooi To walking with his rice basket towards a place called P'aang Sheng (). Lei was astonished and could not believe it, an argument followed, and to prove he was right Lei took the traveller to where Pooi To had been buried. With much effort Lei dug up the coffin, and opened it. All that was inside was a pair of old shoes.\n\nWhen Pooi To arrived at Paang Sheng a very poor scholar named Wong Yan () entertained him in his house. Wong was ashamed of his poverty and being only able to give his guest corn to eat, but Pooi To said \"This is the best food in the world\". After staying with him about six months Pooi To said to Wong one day, \"I have need of thirty-six rice baskets. Get them at once for me\". Wong was much distressed and answered \"I have only got ten and I am so poor I cannot afford to buy more, what can I do?\" Pooi To comforted him, and said “There is no need to buy, look about your house\". Wong did what he was told, and in all sorts of corners rice baskets appeared, until he found to his amazement that he had collected thirty-six in his yard. Most of them were dirty and broken, but Pooi To told him to go round and count them again carefully, after which they all appeared quite new. Then Pooi To wrapped each basket up separately and when that was done, he told Wong to open them again. Each basket was full of coins. Wong did not keep all the money himself, but gave generously to others in need.\n\nPooi To stayed with Wong for a year, and then quite suddenly he said one day \"I must go\". Wong hastened to cook a farewell meal, but, even before it was ready Pooi To had disappeared as mysteriously as he had come.\n\nAbout a month later Pooi To appeared in a place called Ng Kwan (), a prefecture in the East of China. Pooi To walked by the sea shore and met an old fisherman, and begged a fish from him. The fisherman refused, but after Pooi To had continued to worry him for some time, he picked up a very stale and putrifying fish, and threw it to him roughly. Pooi To took the fish, and held it up admiringly. Then he tossed it back into the sea, and the fish swam away. Pooi To went on to another fisherman, who had a net. He again begged to be given a fish, but he was told to go away. So Pooi To picked up two small stones and threw them into the net, and instantly two buffaloes appeared in the net, fighting with each other.\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.\n\nPage 40\n\nPage 41",

Soon the net was torn to pieces, and the buffaloes slipped out of the net and disappeared, and when the astonished fisherman turned round to Pooi To, he had disappeared too.\n\nThe\n\nAfter this Pooi To went to the capital city, and stayed in the house of a rich man named Ch'an, a native of Naam Chau. Later stories reached Chan that there was another Pooi To in the city. Chan and his four sons could not believe it, but as the people who told them persisted, Chan resolved to find out for himself. Leaving Pooi To in the house, he went with his sons into the town, and found, to his surprise, another monk exactly like Pooi To sitting there. Then Chan prepared a box of honey-ginger, which he gave to the new Pooi To, together with a knife to cut the ginger and a handkerchief dipped in fragrant water. The monk put the box on his lap, and started to eat the ginger, but however much he ate, the same amount remained in the box. So Chan decided that this man must indeed be Pooi To, and telling his two younger sons to remain with him, he went home again with the others. When they opened the door of their house they found Pooi To sitting there and on his lap was a box of honey ginger, a knife and a handkerchief dipped in fragrant water. He held out the knife to Chan, saying, \"This is not sharp enough to cut the ginger. Sharpen it.\" While Chan was doing this, the two younger sons returned home, and reported that they had followed the monk in the city to the monastery of Ling Tsau. Then Pooi To asked to be given two pieces of yellow paper, and he wrote some characters on the back of each. No one could understand the characters or even knew what language they were, and when Chan asked him what he was writing Pooi To gave no reply. He folded the papers together, and shortly afterwards disappeared.\n\n3\n\nAbout that time a certain official or minister named Chue Ling K'ei was on his way down from Korea to China in a small vessel. He met a typhoon and the boat was tossed about the sea for nine days and then driven on to the shore of an island. The island consisted of a steep mountain, and here Chue and his companions wandered about trying to find food and help. At last they came to a grass-cutter's path which they followed. After walking about ten miles they heard the sound of monastery bells and smelt the fragrance of burning joss sticks. Filled with hope they knelt and prayed to Buddha to bring them to safety. Then they came to a monastery, large and beautifully decorated, and saw ten or more priests outside, but coming nearer they found that they were made of stone. The travellers were amazed, and being afraid began to pray to be forgiven of their sins. In the distance they heard a voice shouting to them, and searching in the direction of the voice they came across another priest, but found he also was made of stone. Many times they heard voices calling them, but could find nothing but stone figures. Then they said to each other, \"Those are all Saints, we are unworthy wicked men, so how can we see them,\" and they knelt down and prayed very earnestly for forgiveness. When they had finished praying they looked up and saw a real priest coming towards them, who welcomed them kindly and brought them into the monastery. A meal was set before them, all the dishes were\n\nJuly 1935.\n\n43",

When the meal was over, they asked the priest how to get to the capital city, who answered \"From here to the capital is more than 200,000 miles, but do not worry, make up your mind to go and you will reach there quickly.\" Then he asked Chue \"Do you know Pooi To?\" The minister answered \"Yes, I know him well.\" Then the priest pointed to the north wall and showed him a cloth sack, a tall Abbot's staff, and a priest's alms bowl hanging there. He said \"Those are Pooi To's things. I beg you to give him back this alms bowl when you see him, and this letter that I will give you. And here is a green bamboo stick, which when you get back to your boat, throw into the water in front of the boat and shut the windows of the boat and sit quietly. You need not trouble to row or sail, for you will arrive at the capital very speedily.\"\n\n1\n\nThey all said goodbye and a young priest took them to the monastery door and showed them a path to follow which would bring them back to their vessel quickly. Once more on board, they did what they had been told, and soon found to their amazement that the boat had left the water and was sailing over the tops of the trees. After three days of this novel means of travel, they reached the Waai river (淮河) and arrived at a place named 'Chue Tseuk' (朱雀) not far from the capital. Here they espied Pooi To riding along on a big horse, urging it along with a whip. Chue and his companions threw themselves down and began to worship Pooi To, who entered their boat, and they gave him the alms bowl and the letter. Now there were many people about, and when some of them saw the letter, they recognized it as that which Pooi To had written in Chan's house, for it was on two bits of yellow paper and only consisted of a few characters which were ugly and no-one could understand them. Pooi To held the alms bowl in his hand, and laughed. He said “Oh, they want me to go home and throw this bowl into the sky and catch it again. But I haven't seen the bowl for four thousand years!\"\n\nAnother version of this story recounts that when Chue reached the island, he met a priest carrying the alms bowl who said \"I was a pupil of Pooi To. Formerly I held this bowl, but I died in Ye Shing Monastery (冶城寺). Now I ask you to return this bowl to Pooi To for me. When you get to your boat, hold it in front of the boat and let one man hold the tiller, and you will reach the capital safely.\" And the minister did what he had been told, and reached Pooi To, as described before.\n\nPooi To must have returned to Chan's family by then because the story tells that on that day, he had left Chan's house early and did not return till dark. The following morning, Chan rose up early, and found that Pooi To had disappeared, but on his door, written in childish and uneducated characters, were the words \"Happiness family. The holy man will come and live there.\" After that, Pooi To never returned to Chan's family again, but he made several mysterious appearances and disappearances in the city, working miracles and curing sick people.\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.",

He searched for her in vain, so sent someone to ask Pooi To's help. Pooi To said, \"She is dead already. Her body is in an old tomb on the river shore in Kam Shing.\" His words were proved to be true.\n\nAn officer of high rank named 'Hung Ning \"Tsz (JLT) was very ill with dysentery. No one could cure him, so Pooi To was consulted. The monk looked sad and said \"No, he cannot be cured. I have seen four ghosts all badly wounded.\" When the sick man heard this, he wept and said \"When 'Suen 'Yan () raised a rebellion, his family were scattered by the soldiers. His parents and an uncle were cruelly treated, and he himself died. Were these their ghosts?\" And soon after, he died.\n\nThe wife of a worthy man, Ts'ai Haai () was ill, and all hope of her recovery was given up. As the doctors appeared no good, Tsai Haai asked the priests to come and pray for her. They could not help. Then one of them said \"Why not ask Pooi To to come?\" When Pooi To arrived, he wandered into the room, looked at the woman, and said quietly \"Easy.\" Then he muttered to himself for a while, and gradually the woman was cured. Tsai Haai after that insisted on Pooi To staying with him in his house, and treated him with the greatest of respect.\n\nIn the ninth month of the third year of Yuen Ka () of Sung dynasty (A.D. 426), Pooi To went off to a lake in the East called Ch'ek 'Shaan Woo () where he became ill, and died. Tsai Haai took his corpse and buried it in a hill called 'Fook 'Chan Shaan (¥) \"upside down boat hill,\" which is somewhere to the north-east of Nanking.\n\nPage 116\n\nTwo years later, one day in the third month, Tsai Haai was in his house with his family, when to his surprise the door opened and Pooi To walked in. He talked pleasantly for a short while, when there was a knock at the door and a priest appeared. He beckoned to Pooi To, who followed him, but before he left, Pooi To told the family that he had to go to 'Kaau Kwong () (now Kwangtung, Kwangsi, and Annam) and would never come back to them. He then threw his cup into the sea, and he and the priest sailed away in it, to the Monastery of Tuen Moon Shaan (Castle Peak), where, as has been already said, he became Abbot.\n\nPooi To is reputed also to have lived for a while in another hill nearby called Ling To 'Shaan () “miracle across the Sea Hill,” and there is still a monastery there bearing the name of Ling To Tsz (靈渡寺).\n\nNothing further is known about Pooi To, and there are no stories about him after he came to Castle Peak, but it is supposed that the monastery there was carried on by the Buddhist monks for many years after his death. There is nothing recorded to give any indication of how long the monastery continued to exist, but it must have fallen into disuse by the reign of To 1Kwong () 1821-1850 of Ts'ing () dynasty because the Taoists built a monastery then on the site of the old one, and called it 'Ts'ing Wan\n\nJuly 1935.\n\n3\n\n45",

About half-way up the path leading to the monastery there is a handsome gate that was erected in 1929. On the front of it are the characters 'Heung Hoi Ming 'Shaan (l) \"Hong Kong Sea famous Mountain\" which were put there by Sir Cecil Clementi. On the reverse side is written Wui T'au Shi Ngon (D) meaning, the shore is just behind you, i.e., you can mend your ways easily. This is a Buddhist saying and was written on the gate by Tit Shim () a famous abbot in Canton. The gate was erected by twenty Chinese benefactors, and their names are written on the left-hand side of the front of the gate.\n\n10\n\nThe monastery itself consists of several buildings, the Abbot's Lodge, the Pooi To pavilion, and a garden with an arbour called 'Hoi Yuet Ting (H) \"Sea Moon Arbour\" which was placed there for the delightful purpose of looking at the moonlight on the sea. The Fishes Tomb is an object of interest. The Buddhists who believe that no form of life should be taken are in the habit of buying fish from the fishermen and releasing them in the sea again. If, however, the fishes are dead, they bury them in this Tomb so that no one will eat them.\n\nJust above the buildings, there is a small cave with the remains of a whale's bones in it. This whale is supposed to have crushed the mountain in remote times, but there is more appearance of the whale having suffered than the mountain! Unfortunately, a lot of the bones have been taken away by unscrupulous visitors, and only one very worn vertebra and some ribs are left. Near this cave is the little shrine with Pooi To's figure in it.\n\nIf the path leading up to the summit of the mountain is followed, a little summer house with stone benches by it is found near the top. This is called \"Clementi Arbour,\" and was erected by a Chinese gentleman, who visited Castle Peak with Sir Cecil one day, and heard him remark that it would be a good plan to have a convenient resting place in that particular spot. At the summit of the mountain, there is a large stone on which are carved the characters 'Ko 'Shaan Tai Yat (-) “The best high mountain\" which are supposed to have been written by Hon Yue () a very famous scholar of the T'ong () dynasty, who was born in A.D. 768 and died A.D. 824.\n\n13\n\nThe present Chinese name of Tsing Shaan, \"green mountain\" is derived from the fact that the grass on it always appears green, even though the surrounding hills may be burnt up and brown during the rainless winter months.\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.",

        "content_text": "[ 117 ]\n\nARCHAEOLOGICAL FINDS ON LAMMA ISLAND\n\n(H) NEAR HONG KONG.\n\nPART IX.\n\nBy D. J. FINN, S.J.\n\nWhat has already been published by Professor Shellshear (24) and in the H.K.N. series of articles is enough to give an adequate idea of the prehistorical material found around Hong Kong in general and on Lamma in particular. The Naturalist series so far has kept within the Neolithic and Bronze Age aspects of the Lamma finds, because these are the prevailing features there and it was actually a long time before the presence of older types was noted. Professor Shellshear and Dr. Heanley had come to recognise the existence of such elements in their surface finds elsewhere and these were published in the Hanoi paper (24) p. 67, Plates VII, VIII (5, 6). In rounding off by this publication the important features of the Lamma finds, I wish to keep mostly to the Tai Wan and HSY material and to treat this peculiar \"epimiolithic\" evidence merely in an introductory fashion: it is of great importance and a proper discussion of it is hardly possible as yet and would in any case involve the illustration of other sites and material: I hope to describe later some other sites in quick survey and then the question will come up again. After this present part, we shall be concerned with Tai Wan mainly only by way of amplification or special detail.\n\nThe material to be described here does not admit of as much illustration by parallels from other sites outside the Hong Kong area as did the bulk of the things already treated above; it consists, first, of some objects whose use and even fabrication are obscure-they are perhaps fabricators themselves; secondly, of the types of polishing stones (briefly indicated, for the material is very rich and hard to publish); thirdly, of the \"epimioliths\" and finally of some implements very significant for the character of the Lamma culture (spindle-whorls and fish-hook).\n\nSTONE-WORKING IMPLEMENTS (POLISHERS)?\n\nThis is the type of thing illustrated in Plate 11. The specimens come from Tai Wan except for the piece E which seems obviously to be a piece in readiness to make an article of the type, Plate 11 D: this “blank\" comes from HSY (picked up loose). Material and finish (if one can so describe what seems rather to be smoothened surfaces consequent on use) suggest that these objects belong to the type of tools used by workers in stone, analogous to the saws (or files) published in H.K.N. VI, p. 59, Plate 6. The material of these as far we know them is softer than that of the saws: it is of the ash, shale or softer sandstone kind.\n\nThe first piece Plate 11, A was found at 27ins. resting on top of a short pestle-like stone: this latter kind of thing has turned up frequently on our sites here and seems to have been either a percussion implement or a whet-stone (usually the ends show signs of hammering, often with big fractures, but the sides sometimes seem polished): the collocation looks like that of tools such as we shall have to note below for other specimens. This piece is of a greyish-blue. The shape is roughly like that of the saws\n\nJuly 1935.\n\n47",

        "content_text": "Archaeological Finds on Lamma Island\n\n119\n\nThe position and size of this lump, the much rougher reverse face, the material, the bluntness of the \"edge,\" the inequality of the bevels, all suggest that we have here some tool used in the preparation of other tools that were worked by polishing, sharpening or a cutting that was akin to polishing, something intimately related to the saws of our preceding article but of much softer material.\n\nThe next piece is of importance Plate 11, B because on the one hand it is just like a portion of the above specimen as far as general shape, section and condition are concerned; because, on the other hand, it was found in one of those group finds which seem to have always been together and which warrant us in supposing that thus we may argue to the piece's proper cultural context. This specimen was found along with the next piece and the sandstone polisher below G, a group of seven neolithic axes (some of them showing the most pronounced type of stepping that we have got, very good \"Philippine\" axes all of them but one showing at least some kind of faint stepping and four of them showing no signs of use), much pottery including two whole pots standing erect (one of them very like H.K.N. IV, Plate 15, No. 3 but larger and very similar to the An Yang piece (45) p. 58. Plate I: the other was like H.K.N. IV, Plate 15, No. 1 but had more marked splay of the sides cp. (5), Plate IV, Nos. 15, 19 (Han), a mouth less highly collared but with two pair of suspension holes, a dish-bottom making a sharp angle with the sides and which originally stood probably on a foot): the pottery was all of the quartz-corded type of real neolithic stuff (no \"Double-F\"): there were also two split but unworked pieces of stone, seemingly \"blanks\" for stone implements, though one may have been cut out with a saw from an older adze-tool. The seven axes were beautifully finished: they are the best we have got from Lamma for excellence of material and finish; hence the collocation would warn us against regarding the present specimens as protoncoliths the finding of the sandstone polisher or whet-stone and of the blanks point to this being a group of tools with some unused pieces. In this context, it is important to note the similarity of this find to the burial deposit in the undisturbed grave found by J. G. Andersson at Pien Chau Kou (Kansu; Yang Shao culture of the painted burial wares, probably about 2000 B.C.):- two greenstone axes, two grindstones of light red sandstone and twelve burial urns of which four unpainted (rougher) and eight painted (\"elegant, fine, pale brick-red ware\"). It is probable that the rougher wares contained meat and drink there were fragments of a stag's skull in one and all four were at the dead man's head. We may take it that the Lamma find was not a mortuary deposit for the usual character of the finds seems to point to actual habitation rather than to burial: however, even from this point of view, the P.C.K. deposit suggests an important point of view, viz:- burial deposits embrace the important elements in the culture of the people, the articles deemed most necessary at some stage (if not the actual present) of their development: the Lamma find containing the very same species of objects might therefore be taken as completely characteristic of the culture in its distinctive features (99), p. 274. And at Lamma there is also the close proximity of\n\nJuly 1935.\n\nPage 120\n\nOne\n\n50",

This whole find came from the region corresponding to the C-D of the excavation at about 50 ins. At a short distance to each side we found fragments of an old friend, a pot which figured in H.K.N. III, Plate 39, No. 28. (\"Double-F\" of a peculiar style) and of which we recovered scores of fragments in the later excavation of \"C-D.\" The levels at which these \"Double F\" fragments were found seem to reach their limit just about 60 ins. and mostly to lie rather about 40-50. \n\nThis implement is of a sandstone, slightly purplish in colour. Again, only the edge region is cleanly polished: the implement becomes thicker and rougher towards the back or grip region. \n\nThe third piece Plate 11 C, found with this last, is of a harder schist in which thicker red layers are separated by very fine layers of grey-blue-black mica: one face is just one such cleavage plane. The other has a marked lumpy projection along one of the shorter sides and a slighter ridge bounding the other. The edge is fan-shaped and the central part agrees fairly well with the curve of Plate 11 D. The edge does not lie in one plane but makes a sigmoid curve: it is produced by two bevels but gives the impression of being the result of a scraping action: it might be caused if the thing were a hand-whet-stone to be held in the left hand with the lumpy part well in the palm: sharpening a knife by strokes such as farmers make when sharpening a scythe would well explain the sigmoid line and the fading off of the bevels, one at the one extremity and the other at the opposite end. The material of the stone resembles somewhat the saws but has less quartz. \n\nIn general shape, this piece strangely resembles the \"scrapers\" or \"epimioliths\" published by Professor Shellshear (24) Plate VIII (6) or the piece from Lamma K. The straight edge is the result of a preliminary fracture along a cleavage plane: the concave side has been got by trimming down a fracture. \n\nNext come the two interesting pieces, one D from Tai Wan, the other, E from HSY, the latter obviously roughly prepared to be what the former has actually become: the notable difference being that the Tai Wan has a saw-cut back that is slightly convex, while the HSY piece has a concave back. The most interesting thing about these is that one knows so little about them. The shape resembles that of the \"Haches courtes\" of the Hwa-binhian, e.g. the large specimen reproduced after Mdlle. Colani in (25) figure 3: this Indo-China implement is of course much older, unlike in finish and material, but in size it is not much smaller our piece (143 x 189 mm.). Both Lamma specimens were picked up loose having previously been displaced by somebody digging. The more finished article is a very soft shale stone which has somewhat the feel and look of pig-skin leather, an impression reinforced by a varnish of tar-like oxidation which resembles the oxidation remarked on the rings (H.K.N. VI p. 51) and on the Aberdeen adze (H.K.N., IV, Plate XIX, 11).

The edge follows for the most part the line of a semi-circle whose centre lies well in on the face, but the curve is continued beyond in unconformity. The whole is a semi-circular segment extended irregularly beyond the diameter towards the back, i.e. presumably the grip part.\n\nIt is hard to conceive what the use of this implement could be: it is not well enough made to rank as a ceremonial weapon (axe)—its material is too soft for a knife or a scraper—the edge seems to indicate something other than a plate or palette—the form is hard to explain unless in some very regular, mechanical movement that would seem to go beyond the aptitude of the mere hand.\n\nバ\n\nE\n\n5. cms.\n\nE.

It seems to be of a harder stone than the finer specimen probably an ash, but intended to serve the same use.

Had we not the other better specimen, we should have seen some kind of mesolithic form here. Actually, this is a very ungainly piece, for it is thicker towards the edge than towards the hand-grip.

All that we can say is that both these Lamma specimens seem to belong to the same culture as that which made the polished spear and arrow-heads. They seem also to go with the other objects described above in the present part. But Mr. Schofield's find makes a very remarkable link with the mesolithic of Tongking and N. Annam.\n\nThe\n\nA\n\nAnother piece that puts us in touch with flaked tools is F. material of this is that of the saws, a mica-schist: it is a very flat tool with an average greatest thickness of 10 mm. which by flaking has been reduced all around the edges to about 6 mm. One face shows an old patina, while the other seems to be a more recent cleavage from the parent block. The straight edge (hypoteneuse) has a narrow flat ribbon in place of a working edge and suggests that a beginning of use as a saw had been made. strange similarity with a completely flaked instrument again presents itself here (33) Plate XIV, 8 is a chert knife from Rubetsu on Yeterofu, one of the Kurile Islands: its shape is almost precisely that of our piece and it is only 15 mm. shorter and about 5-9 mm. narrower : our piece is certainly not a knife in its present state, it has no point and no edge-possibly we have an older shape transferred to another use when stone had yielded to the metals as the material of knives and the stone came to survive in the saw and sharpener type of tool. It may be well to note that Lamma has given us clear cases of a pot with loop-handles inside the neck, a style that is found in these same Kurile Islands, in Kamchatka and in North Japan (33) Plate XV and text.\n\nAgain, Dr. Andersson (99) pp. 207-209 provides an extraordinarily satisfactory parallel. He identifies a similar stone \"knife\" from An Yang (Chinese historical c. 1200 B.C.) functionally with iron scythes used in N. China (Anhui Kalgan). This parallel leads me to see in our piece F the \"makings\" of a scythe, for such an explanation suggested by actual modern types gives a very satisfactory reconciliation of the flaked stone from the Kuriles with the polished stone from An Yang and the unfinished Lamma piece an agricultural implement is more likely to retain an old form amid the changes of technique and material than is a weapon or a knife.\n\nIn conclusion, it would seem that this group of tools offers a link between the flaked type and the polished implement that already was in contact with bronze: here the old weapon-form has sunk down to a subsidiary workshop-form.\n\nPOLISHERS AND SHARPENERS.\n\nIn this section, there is space here only for the merest indication. The unifying factors are the material (most usually, sandstone), the surfaces (smooth, concave, often glistening), the shapes (either broad and flattish, like modern fixed whet-stones of the Chinese knife-sharpener or tool-maker or else multiple faces on a longish cucumber-shaped stone), sometimes there are the grooves that prove the use as a sharpener. Here there are illustrated only two specimens out of the very many we have found. These are two small ones which show very markedly the tracks of points that were to be\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.",

Small pieces however seem to be used on all convenient surfaces. A peculiarity of all is the development of very narrow filets of polished surface between the wider faces. This specimen has one face hollowed in the typical manner, a second face that must have been used for some chisel-like tool, a third that has a deep groove in a surface also used for whetting: the fourth face has only the beginning of a groove. In addition there are two thin filets on the angles between the faces and they seem to have been made by a sharpening action at right angles to the long axis, as if the stone was held in the hand and then rubbed over an object with a side-to-side movement of the hand.

We find them on all our Hong Kong sites (or rather on the ones I personally know-they occur also on many of those known to my colleagues in this study). On the Lamma sites, at Aberdeen, Stanley and one other site, I have found them in the ground where the rougher corded ware was plentiful or characteristically present.\n\nIt must here be noted that “Double-F” is rare outside Lamma. Aberdeen yielded one piece of an older type of the D--F. ware with some fragments of another ware that is found typically at HSY: Stanley only one small fragment of a ware cognate to the \"Double-F.\" In one case below, figure I, the \"epimiolith\" was found with a neatly packed group of half a dozen clam shells and a piece of deer-antler and all amid a group of pottery, the objects seemingly having been originally inside a black pot of the gritty quartz-tempered corded type. This find was made before the excavations of 1933.\n\nHowever, every place which has yielded these implements has also given rough types of pottery, usually the black and the red corded wares showing much quartz in the paste. This is especially true of a Stanley site where on a low hill well out of reach of any wave disturbance a thin layer of humus, about one foot deep over the natural mantle of de-composed rock, still contains this type of pottery while, lower down at the base of the hill, evidently weathered out and carried down by erosion in typical fresh water gravel, some very good \"epimioliths\" were found. Thus they would belong to a period using already pottery of the usual neolithic type: on the same hill (both on the top and at the base), neolithic polished stone adzes (stepped and rectangular) were found.\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.",

It comes from Tai Wan, from a section not counted in the 1933 excavation. It is from a kind of pocket amid rocks to the east of the clump of vegetation and the (sacred) tree which stands on the rocky knoll. The ground there is no longer the pure sliding sands of the main site but beneath the humus is lightly cemented together with minerals brought down by moisture from the upper layers. The sandy mass is about five feet deep over the rocks in this, one day when I visited the site with Mr. Schofield and Drs. Brock and Lees the geologists, I found by my own digging a most interesting collection of objects. These may be set forth here quickly, for the whole group is in the nature of a test case on which we have fortunately some of the best judgments that the scientific world may give on certain points. The section was about five feet wide with a face standing firm and clean about six feet measured down from the surface: at about five feet heavy boulders began: above that it was a sand concreted slightly with lime: the levels here as distinct from the rest of the Tai Wan site admit of much wash-down from the background.\n\nFound \"Double-F\" pottery at 40 ins. as described in H.K.N. III, p. 245. Related ware of I.d. ii type at 49 ins. (cp. ib. pp. 232, 245). The \"Chou\" type of ware (white rough developed from corded ware with bronze influence on pattern), illustrated in H.K.N. IV, Plate XIV, No. 6, p. 64: this was at about 50 ins. At the same level and quite close, four pieces of bronze of uncertain use, very corroded so that they were cracked as if made of perished leather: Mr. Simpson suggests that one piece with a curved point (like the nail-extractor on the old-fashioned Sheffield combination pocket-knives or, the Chinese so-called \"knot-openers\") may be a tool for trimming a clay mould before casting bronze: two pieces might possibly be bits of a runner from a mould: the other two are of about the thickness of an ordinary pencil but almost square in section: one surface is very flat being probably the top level of the liquid metal: they seem originally to have made one stick about 80 mm. in length of which the curved tip comes to a scraping edge. Close by these was a bronze coin of the usual cash type, obviously of an old date: it is so worn that it is not worth reproducing: the British Museum Coin Room to whom it was submitted gave as their opinion of its date:-\"PROBABLY c. I CENTURY A.D.\" The coin was not contained in any object and thus we have the alternative of dating the rest by the contiguity of the coin (later than the coin?) or else of regarding the coin as a later intruder: the second solution is suggested by quite modern coins which here and there were found well below the surface in other parts of the site. Further, close to the bronzes were two pottery \"beads\" or, more probably, spindle whorls these are of rough pottery with a vague design of small holes arranged in horizontal zones: one end (polar) of each specimen has been cut into, in one case seemingly by a regular curved object. These things look very primitive, but Professor Beyer has found pieces of very similar type in one of his Early Iron Age sites on Luzon. A neighbouring part of Tai Wan gave very much better finished specimens of the same kind of object (but without decoration) from a corresponding level (about 4 feet).\n\nJuly 1935.\n\n56",

Thus the original implement must have been more like figure N from HSY and probably had a rounded hand-grip surface covered with the natural skin of the pebble, one flat surface (probably at the back) and a more pronounced trihedral angle below with the ridge more central than now. It was Professor Henri Breuil who pointed out to me the difference of patina and the reworking: that authority is decisive. He regarded the patina on the typical specimen for our local coup-de-poing (faust-keil) or cleaver or scraper \"epimiolith\" as incontrovertible proof that they are considerably older than the local neolithic stone-axes from the same sites: this specimen then must be older still. The logical inference is that there is no ground for any generalized argument for dating by reason of the find-spot on such sites as these where we find \"epimioliths\" and polished axes, pottery of various types and even bronzes at the same levels without any possibility of discriminating times of deposition.\n\nX\n\nK\n\n373%. \n\nX\n\nX\n\n5.cms.\n\nK. \"Epimiolith\" showing three stages of patination.

The prefix \"epi-\" has been used by certain modern scholars, notably Menghin (30) pp. 84-5. to denote that a culture of the type indicated by the word used after \"epi-\" is in that particular case surviving into a period later by one than its own proper time: thus \"epiprotolithic\" would mean some culture whose forms were that of the Early Stone Age lasting on into the Mesolithic should the survival be drawn out longer Menghin would use the form \"opsiprotolithic\". Though our case is still sub judice, I use the word \"epimiolith\" to describe these objects. which must now be regarded as much older than neolithic: this is the name that Menghin would give to the Bacsonian of Indo-China and to the Asturian of Spain actually one type that I have got in several specimens is very like the Asturian hand-axes (coup-de-poings: there used for opening sea-shells)\n\nJuly 1935.\n\n58",

The make of these pieces suggests that they were used for opening shells, as the point showing signs of use has above it an edge like that of a scraper which would serve admirably for prizing open the shells.\n\nThe two\n\nThe figures best explain the shape of these specimens, but the most shapely piece, in fact the first that really convinced me of its artifact nature, is that in figure N. It is from 27 ins. deep at HSY from an area which gave us many polished stone axes at similar and greater depths. It is a sub-tetrahedral form with a marked rostral tendency, one face being obviously the back and flaked to a higher level with a slight general concavity. This is typical of all our pieces though otherwise varying: the back is very flat, sometimes as a naturally weathered surface, sometimes flaked, sometimes at cleavage face (figure 1). The hand-grip is the natural skin or weathered end of a big pebble: this makes a platform usually sloping on top. front-faces meet in a marked angle (see figure L and compare carefully figure K). Figure I here retains most of the original stone and is flaked only on one edge but the ridge is represented by the natural rounded angle of the stone. The flaking is in broad strokes: the finer dressing is very clumsy (a sign of late date). The point is usually trihedral, sometimes tetrahedral; the trihedral point has been noted as typical of the very early Chalossian and has also been found in South Africa in the Victoria West culture. Judging by Menghin's description of certain implements (30) p. 117 in this latter, they must be very like the type of our figures N, O:-crooked point-thick end with vigorous flaking-trihedral point-flat back-resemblance to \"rostro-carinates\". There is apparently some doubt about these Victoria-West pieces as to whether they are artifacts: there can be no doubt about such a piece as figure N. A related culture in South Africa, that of Stellenbosch, has \"faustkeil\" with one side carefully flaked to an edge: we cannot say that ours are carefully done, but they certainly have the \"faustkeil\"\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.",

The head feathers grew longer day by day and developed into an occipital crest in the male.\n\nThere is also a slight semblance of a beard when the bird is alarmed or angered. After this they commenced to discard the whitish feathers of the breast and within a fortnight had there an ashy-grey coat, the grey in the case of the male being prominently darker.

From that time on it is one continuous stream of migration until well along into May.\n\nIt has actually never been definitely determined just what species of the shore birds nest in southern China. In 1931 we definitely located the Eastern Oystercatcher nesting on the small islands, again this year we have located numerous nests. As late as May 12th., there were both Golden Plover and Turnstone still to be found on Haitang Island. The Greenshank too, was to be seen in considerable numbers. There were many others of the shorebirds not supposed to nest in southern China. Eastern Pratincole began nesting about May 10th. Painted Snipe nest upon the grassy lowlands of Haitang Island about the same time.\n\nWe had long heard of fishermen taking eggs by the basketfull from some of the outlying islands. It has long been our desire to check up on this thing in order to ascertain just what species nest in such numbers.\n\nOf course it was evident terns were likely the greatest sufferers at the hands of these professional poachers upon their nesting grounds. May 9th., was a little early for terns to be nesting, but this seemed the only opportunity to visit these islands, so we planned to spend a day with notebook and fieldglasses upon what seemed to be a promising island. La Touche had reported years ago of one egg of what seemed to him to be of the Bridled Tern that was brought to him from one of the islands. We desired to make a survey in person of promising nesting grounds.\n\nThe islands visited lay six miles or so from shore east of Haitang and in the general region of the Turnabout Lighthouse. Not until we came within a couple of miles of the islands did we see any birds. As we approached nearer the island both Bridled and Black-naped Terns began to be seen in ever increasing numbers. On the outer island of the group we found terns of the two mentioned species in vast numbers. A survey of the island disclosed the following species. As this island was small we feel confident we noted every bird found upon it. Besides the two species of terns mentioned which were very abundant we noted the following species in the order listed. Eastern Reef Heron (Demiegretta sacra) were first noticed flying from one island to the other. There were four pair of these birds.\n\nAt least twenty pair of Yellow-nib Duck (Anas poecilorhyncha zonorhyncha) were on the island. One nest of this species was located. It was a bit too early to catch these duck busy in their domestic affairs. Red-bellied Rock Thrush (Monticola p. philippensis) were seen nesting in crevices. There were three pairs of this thrush. One Malay House Swift seemed to be greatly disturbed at our presence; also one Eastern House Swallow swerved about feeding with little concern. There was a single male White-faced Wagtail which at this season of the year very likely had a mate tucked away in some crack or cranny. One pair of Spotted Sandpiper (Tringa hypoleucos) seemed very much at home. The surprise of the day was to find both the Crested Myna (Aethiopsar c. cristatellus) and the Formosan Tree Sparrow (Passer montanus taivanensis) present in considerable numbers and evidently nesting in perfect contentment on this bleak island far from the haunts of man.\n\nJuly 1935.\n\n80",

Two pairs of Black-napped Tern were found on an island one mile off the eastern tip of Haitang.\n\nFour pairs of Oystercatcher were found nesting on three smaller islands only a few hundred yards off shore.\n\nUntil some ornithologist finds time and opportunity to spend considerable time among the islands off the southern China coast, it is going to be impossible to determine with any degree of certainty what birds do nest in this region. We have seen both Shearwater and Petrel over Haitang waters in May. On the fourth of May, we saw flocks of Mallard (Anas p. platyrhyncha) in the waters along the Futsing coast. This certainly is after duck of this species are supposed to have followed the teal, pintail, etc., on the northward migration.\n\nHARRY R.

V, p. 227, mention is made of a nest of the Dusky Shrike found at Tsun Wan last year, in which case both parents and all young were dusky.\n\nHaving during the past few years seen numerous nests of the Rufous-backed Shrike, where, in every case, the young were similar to their parents, I jumped to the conclusion that the Dusky Shrike is, and can only be, the offspring of parents which are both dusky.\n\nThis nesting season, the theory I so fondly cherished was very rudely exploded.\n\nOn the 22nd of June, a nest of the Rufous-backed Shrike was located. Imagine my surprise when, on examining the contents, I found that of the three young birds, two were Rufous-backed and the third Dusky. Scarcely believing my eyes, I had another good look at the parents, which were but a few yards away protesting loudly against the intrusion, but they were both without doubt typical Lanius s. schach. With the object of being doubly sure, I retreated and waited for a couple of hours, and during this interval, both birds were observed to descend to the nest to tend the young.\n\nThe three young birds were taken home and brought to the University, where they were examined by Dr. G. A. C. Herklots and proved to be, as stated, one Dusky, two Rufous-backed.\n\nAccording to La Touche, the Dusky Shrike (Lanius fuscatus) and the Rufous-backed Shrike (Lanius s. schach) are separate species, and I was, until the last find, of the same opinion.

        "content_text": "Notes and Comments \n\n151 \n\nDelacour, however, say that Lanius s. schach and Lanius fuscatus are one and the same bird and this recent find supports their view. \n\nR. A. P. \n\nLa Touche in a \"Handbook of the Birds of Eastern China\" p. 186 makes this significant remark. \"However, until specimens of L. schach and L. fuscatus are taken from the same nest, the question must remain unsolved.\" In his Corrigenda and Addenda on p. 481, he writes of L. fuscatus \"It is most probable that, as pointed out by Dr. Stresemann, this Shrike is a melanistic form of L. schach.” \n\nWe have not seen Dr. Stresemann's paper on the question and therefore are unacquainted with his evidence. If melanism in L. schach behaves as a simple recessive then if a Rufous bird RR, mated with a Dusky bird rr, the first hybrid generation Rr, would all be Rufous. If two such hybrids mated then on the average in every four chicks one would be RR, two Rr and one rr, i.e., one pure Rufous, two hybrid Rufous and one Dusky. It appears that in the case found by Mr. R. A. Pereira both parents were Rr and therefore one in every four of the chicks would be Dusky; one Dusky and two Rufous chicks in the family of three supports this view. \n\nMajor Hutson's note on these birds H.K.N. II, p. 221, is worth quoting. \"On June 17, 1931, two adult shrikes, one normal and one dusky, were seen together with a couple of youngsters both of which looked normal; on July 13, two young shrikes, one normal and one dusky were seen together with one adult which was normal. If the view of melanism behaving as a simple recessive is correct then in the first of Major Hutson's examples the parents were probably RR and rr and the youngsters Rr, alternatively the parents may have been Rr and rr and the youngsters Rr but in this case one of the two youngsters by the laws of chance should have been rr and therefore dusky. In the second of Major Hutson's examples the adult seen must have been Rr for in no case with an RR parent is it possible to have one rufous and one dusky offspring, the other parent may have been either Rr or rr as in either case the two youngsters, one rufous and one dusky, could have been obtained. If the other parent was Rr then the rufous youngster could have been either RR or Rr; if the other parent was rr then the rufous youngster must have been Rr.—Ed. \n\nNESTING NOTES. \n\nViolet Whistling Thrush, Myophonus c. coeruleus (Scop.) A nest was discovered in a rather unusual situation on June 8. It was situated in a hole in a bank—the half-dome shaped hole left by an old wasps' nest. The bank formed one side of a deep cutting above Tai Hang, and the nest was twelve feet from the bottom of the bank and about three feet from the top of the cutting, which, however, had a slight overhang, and thus gave ample protection and cover. In fact, had the sitting bird not flown out at my approach, leading to a search for the probable nest, it would not have been discovered. \n\nJuly 1935.",

It is worth noting that the eggs were pale buff coloured spotted with reddish-brown towards the larger end, which seems to be the normal form, though there is a great variation remarked upon by all observers. In the Hong Kong Naturalist, No. 1 of Vol. IV, plate No. 2 shows a Violet Whistling Thrush's egg which has a plain ground colour of creamy-brown and no markings whatever. In an earlier issue of the H.K. Naturalist, No. 1 of Vol. II, Major Hutson stated:-\"The ground colour may be reddish stone or pale green, and is speckled and blotched with reddish brown. One clutch examined was a very pale stone or buff colour and free from any marking.\" Again, Caldwell's \"South China Birds\" has the following note:-\"The eggs vary greatly in colour from pale greenish almost entirely unmarked, to yellowish-green or pale brownish, minutely spotted with reddish, the markings being so thick as to appear almost as a smear over the entire egg, often forming a wreath around the larger end.\"\n\nIt was not possible to visit the nest except at weekly intervals: and on the following Saturday, June 15, it was found that three nestlings had hatched. They were some four or five days old. A week later, on June 22, the nest was empty. A careful scrutiny of the spot failed to reveal any signs of a human raid, nor was it likely that any other form of enemy had discovered the nest or been able to reach it. The conclusion is that the nestlings had grown sufficiently to leave the nest for the shelter of a dense copse nearby, where they would gradually attain full strength and maturity. Presuming they had left the nest that day or the day before, this gives them at the most about eleven or twelve days from hatching to becoming full fledged: perhaps other observers can state whether such rapid development is likely or usual.\n\nV.

They are very frail, being composed of a few roots woven loosely together, with the result that the eggs, which always number two, can be seen from below.\n\nChinese Dayal Bird, Copsychus saularis prosthopellus Oberhsr. Two nests, each containing four young birds, were discovered, one at Kam Tin and the other at Tsun Wan. Both nests were built in the crevice of a ruined wall behind the village.

He told me he had found three young birds in a nest built on the large \"loong-ngarn\" tree, but two had died. I offered him ten cents, and he gladly sold me the bird. It was promptly fed with a few grass-hoppers and taken home. The bird survived and is now big and strong, having just commenced a partial moult.\n\nIts confiding nature prevents me from liberating it, as the bird will come and perch on the hand when called.\n\nChinese Hair-Crested Drongo, Chibia hottentotta brevirostris Cab. & H. Nest with four fully fledged young located near Kwei Chong. The young birds immediately jumped and flew out of the nest when the tree was climbed. One was eventually captured and examined and found to be similar to the adult but paler in shade. The occipital crest is entirely absent in the young bird.\n\nChinese Francolin, Francolinus pintadeanus pintadeanus (Scop.). Three nests containing 4, 4, and 6 eggs were found on the slopes of Tai Mo Shan by female grass-cutters of Lo Wai village. In one case, the woman actually captured the hen, which refused to leave the nest. Here it may interest readers to know that one of the francolin chicks I reared last year (see H.K.N. V, pp. 170-175, \"Development of young francolins\") laid four eggs. As she showed no signs of being broody, the eggs were put under a common hen. All hatched out and are now fully fledged, being approximately half the size of the grown-up bird.\n\nBOTANY.\n\nR. A. P.\n\nThe writer was much interested in the treatment of some of the species in the Genera Eria and Dendrobium, as two of the species described represented species which were undetermined in the Herbarium and the Herbarium Orchid Garden at Lingnan University. It might be of interest to the readers of the Hong Kong Naturalist to know where this material came from.\n\nDendrobium acinaciforme Roxb. is represented by the live number 2803, collected in southern Hainan by Lau, Sam-Kee, in April 1935, this\n\nJuly 1935.\n\n84",

January on the whole was dull and humid; there were nine completely sunless days, and the total sunshine for the month was 39 hours less than normal. Although the month was abnormally cloudy, there was very little rainfall. February opened with a spell of wet weather, rain or drizzle falling every day until the 11th; on the 12th the weather cleared up, and no rain was recorded during the remainder of the month. The 12th to the 17th were days of almost unbroken sunshine. March came in and went out with cloudy, damp spells, while ten days in the middle of the month were warm and sunny.\n\nThe first half of April was cloudy, wet, and often foggy. Towards the end of the month the weather improved, and continued mainly fair until the middle of May; we were lucky to have a sunny spell for the Jubilee celebrations, more than 10 hours of sunshine being recorded on each day from the 6th to the 9th. In the latter half of May and the whole of June the weather was normal for the time of year—mainly cloudy and showery, with occasional sunny days. Up to the end of June the total rainfall for the year was still 10 inches short of the normal; every month except March had been deficient in rain.\n\nAt the time of writing (July) we are in the midst of the rainy season; sometimes in a tropical downpour it seems little short of miraculous that such deluges of water can be produced out of empty air, and some notes on the formation of rain may be of interest at this time of year.\n\nAs any school geography book tells us, rain is caused by the raising and consequent cooling of damp air; but the books are necessarily a little vague when they come to deal with the actual physical processes which go on inside a rain-cloud, for these are difficult to observe and are not yet fully understood.\n\nAir can contain a limited quantity of invisible water-vapour; when this limit is reached, the air is said to be saturated, and its relative humidity is then 100%. The amount of water-vapour needed to saturate a sample of air increases with the temperature of the latter. Consequently, if damp air is cooled, a temperature will eventually be reached at which it becomes saturated with water-vapour; any further cooling must result in some of the water-vapour condensing in the form of visible droplets, which we see as a mist or cloud.\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.",

        "content_text": "Notes and Comments\n\n155\n\nThere are several ways in which the raising and cooling of the air may take place. A damp wind may be forced up a hillside, and form a cloud over the top; this is the reason for the heavy mass of Cumulus cloud which so often lies on the Peak during the SW monsoon. Again, air may rise vertically owing to convection currents over heated ground; this mode of cloud formation is illustrated by the isolated Cumulus or \"Woolpack\" clouds of a warm summer afternoon in England; each cloud marks the summit of a rising column of air. Thirdly, a whole layer of air may be forced up the sloping surface of a wedge of denser air lying beneath it, in which case a uniform layer of Stratus cloud may form.\n\nIf the process of cooling and condensation proceeds far enough, the minute droplets forming the cloud grow in size as more water is added to them. It is probable that they collide with each other and coalesce, and eventually they become sufficiently large to fall out of the cloud as rain. At first sight it may seem strange that a cloud remains floating in the sky while a shower of rain falls to the earth; both consist of water drops, so why should not the cloud fall as well as the rain? To explain why a cloud remains floating, we must examine the forces acting on a body falling through a resisting medium such as the air. When a body falls through air, it will continue to accelerate until the force of gravity is exactly balanced by the air resistance, and thereafter will fall at a constant speed known as its \"terminal velocity\". Now for objects of the same density, the air resistance depends on the surface area of the body, and so increases as the square of the linear dimensions, while the weight increases as the cube of the linear dimensions; consequently a large body must attain a much higher terminal velocity than a small one before its weight is balanced by the air resistance. A man, for instance, falling through air attains a terminal velocity of about 100 miles per hour—however high the aeroplane may be when you fall out of it, you cannot hit the ground at a greater speed than this; if that is any comfort! A large raindrop may have a diameter of 0.2 inch, and its terminal velocity is about 18 m.p.h. The minute droplets which form a cloud may have diameters as small as 0.001 inch, and a terminal velocity of only 150 feet per hour.\n\nEven if a cloud were not buoyed up by rising air-currents, its descent at this slow rate would be imperceptible from the ground.\n\nMore water-vapour is needed to saturate warm air than cold, and the amount of water-vapour which may be contained by the heated air of the Tropics is colossal. For example, the air over the Colony, covering an area of about 350 square miles, can hold when saturated about 50 million tons of water-vapour, if we take the temperature at ground level as 85° F. No wonder it rains hard in summer. If all this water-vapour were condensed and precipitated as rain, the fall would amount to about 3 inches; it is evident that to produce the tremendous falls of 20 inches or more in 24 hours, which have sometimes been recorded here, the damp air over the Colony must be renewed many times over.\n\nIn winter the air over Hong Kong, even if saturated, can contain a mere 20 million tons of water-vapour; as a rule it is very far from being saturated throughout its height at this time of year, and the precipitation which falls from it can in truth be described as \"the gentle rain from heaven\".\n\nJuly 1935.",

Pages 1-117 with 43 figures in the text, prepared mostly from photographs of lilies in flower. Price, five shillings paper, six shillings cloth.\n\nThe third annual \"Lily Year-Book\" for 1934 is as interesting and instructive as its two predecessors. Two articles deal with lilies in their natural environment, in Tibet by Capt. F. Kingdon Ward and in the Pontic region by E. K. Balls; in addition there are articles on \"Lilies in Kenya\" by J. L. Gifford, \"Californian Lilies in Cultivation\" by Dr. A. M. Vollmer and \"Diseases of Lilium longiflorum in Bermuda\" by L. Ogilvie. This serves to show how all-embracing is the geographic field covered by the \"Lily Year Book\". In order to understand fully how best to grow lilies it is necessary to know as much as possible about their natural habitat, the type of plants they are associated with, the character of the soil and the climate; the first two articles give us certain of these basic facts. Secondly it is desirable to know how lilies grow in cultivation not only in England but in other countries and the next two articles give us facts in this connection.\n\nOther writers deal with problems of propagation, of the arrangement and structure of the chromosomes in the reproductive cells, of diseases in stored bulbs and in growing plants, of hybrids and of the cultivation of lilies in gardens and woodlands. Certainly this volume should be in the possession of all who are in any manner interested in the study or culture of lilies.\n\nG. A. C. H.\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.",

The salary, as Dr. Hu Shih admitted, is a great temptation, so it will be a bad blow for us if our offer is turned down, for it will suggest to me at least that cultural relations with Hong Kong University are not altogether safe or desirable from the point of view of a scholar in China. Individually of course one can make very good and very pleasant contacts but officially Hong Kong seems to be cold-shouldered. Hu Shih's visit to us and his acceptance of the LL.D. I thought had put an end to this but now I am not so sure.\n\nHong Kong is an excellent place for Generals like Chan Chai Tong who wish to have a safe deposit for the great profits they make. I am told he owns a considerable amount of property in D'Avouex Road, one of the main streets, but apart from that there is more evidence of a desire to crush Hong Kong economically than to preserve it. The Canton-Hankow line is being built with British Boxer Indemnity funds, but there is to be no linking up of the Hong-Kong-Canton railway with the new line, though there will be a loop from Whampoa, a port on the Canton river, which it is hoped\n\nPage 90\nPage 91",

        "content_text": "Enclosure.2.\n\nIn June 1937, considerable progress had been made with construction of a loop line to connect the Port of Whampoa with the Canton-Hankow Railway.\n\nThis loop line necessitated the crossing of the Canton-Kowloon Railway in the vicinity of Shek Pai, and three schemes were discussed and considered. The scheme involving a flying-junction was favoured and work continued with that object in view.\n\nDue to the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese trouble during July, work on the loop line to Whampoa was stopped and a new scheme connecting the Canton-Hankow Railway near Sai Cheun to the Canton-Kowloon Railway near Shek Pai was approved and work put in hand with the utmost dispatch.\n\nThis connection was completed about the 23rd August 1937, and the actual junction was effected by means of a manganese steel 1 in 10 crossing. A scotch block had been fitted to protect the main line, and the switch points were effectively clipped and locked. A mat-shed station was erected by the Canton-Kowloon Railway and this was connected by telephone to Tai Sha Tou, Che Pi and Shek Pai, the nearest stations.\n\nOn 23rd August, 1937, Mr. Tseng Yang-Fu, Mayor of Canton, together with a number of officials proceeded to the junction from Tai Sha Tou in a special train to officially open the line to traffic. A train from Hankow, containing bullion, was to make the inaugural run. This was not a success, as the track in the vicinity of the junction and also at Sai Chuen was rough and boggy owing to heavy rains.\n\nThe immediate result of this connection was the need for a Working Agreement for the carriage of goods by rail from Kowloon to stations on the Canton-Hankow Railway and vice versa. In consequence, a meeting was arranged at the Kowloon Station offices on 23rd August, 1937, between Mr. C. M. Chen representing the Ministry of Railways as",

L.T. Ride (Professor of Physiology) and Messrs. D.H. Morley (Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering) and D.F. Davies (Lecturer in Physics). Shortly afterwards they were followed by Prof. Gordon King (Dean of the Faculty of Medicine) and Mr. A.H. Bentley (Demonstrator in Pharmacy), and later still by twelve Chinese members of the Staff. These included Tohin Yen Koh (Temporary Professor of Chinese History), La Kiam (Lecturer in Chinese), Koh Nye Poh (Lecturer in Electrical Engineering), Chean Tsang Koo (Lecturer in Logic), H.T. Chang (Temporary Lecturer in Engineering), Chang Te Lin (Assistant in Medical Entomology), Yeung Wai Wah, Raymond Lee and Miss Daphne Chun (Assistants to the Clinical Units), King Sing Yue (Demonstrator in Electrical Engineering), Miss Leung Man Wah (Tutor in English) and Li Yin Kei (Tutor in Chinese). In addition, the name of Mr. M.K. Cheng (University Accountant) should be included.\n\nPage 15,\n\nMany of the 47 recent graduates have found employment in Free China. Medical graduates have not experienced great difficulty in finding posts and are serving with such organisations as the Chinese National Red Cross, Medical Unit of the New Life Movement, British Red Cross Unit, Central Midwifery Training School, as well as in Government and Mission Hospitals and in private practice. Engineering graduates have found employment with organisations such as the National Resources Commission, Pearl River Conservancy Board, China Vegetable Oil Corporation and the Hsiang-Kwei Railway. Arts graduates have found teaching posts in some instances, whilst others have taken up secretarial or translation work, one has entered the service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and one has become attached to the Research Department of the Farmer's Bank. Other graduates are still looking for appointments and every opportunity is being taken of finding suitable avenues for them.\n\nRegarding the 255 students, with whom this report is mainly concerned, a point of interest is that, whereas nearly all of the students are British Subjects, only about half of them have their homes in Hong Kong, the remainder coming from the Straits, Borneo, Java and Sumatra, Free China and even India.

You will recollect that students were registered with the General Medical Council on passing the first examinations on Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, and that subsequently, on graduation, these students were eligible to be included in the Medical Register. This latter is a point of major importance to most of the medical graduates of Hong Kong University, as the majority of them enter practice in British regions such as Hong Kong, Malaya, British North Borneo, etc.\n\nWhen the war broke out in Hong Kong, final examinations were in progress, and it was unanimously decided by the Senate at an Emergency Meeting on December 31st, 1941, for which the requisite quorum was present, to confer war-time degrees in Medicine on those students whose examinations had been interrupted by the outbreak of war. These names included:\n\nHilda Chan (Miss)\n\nChan Ping Kwok\n\nChow Cham Lau\n\nLau Po Hei\n\nLee Ching Iu\n\nLeong Yean Seng\n\nLing Sing Hang\n\nOng Hian Pitt\n\nE.N. Orloff (Posthumous Degree)\n\nSoon Cheng Hoe\n\nWong Ching Kuen\n\n(E.N. Orloff was barbarically murdered by the Japanese when he was carrying out his duties on the day the Japanese first landed on the island of Hong Kong, and it was felt that a posthumous degree should be awarded to him).\n\nAt a later meeting of the Senate, which took place shortly before the internment of the majority of the University Staff, it was further decided to award war-time degrees to the following 13 members of the final year class who would normally have expected to graduate in June 1942:\n\nThe Secretary,\n\nCheung Ah Chee\n\nKung Kwok King\n\nLee Sui Luen\n\nHans Raj\n\nYeoh Seow Tiung\n\nDavid Yue Pui Lum\n\nPhyllis Woo Poh Yee (Miss)\n\nLatifa Gnows (Miss)\n\nKwan Kui Lun\n\nLeow Oy Chean\n\nTo Shiu Yuen\n\nYip Tai Hing\n\nWong Sau Haan (Miss)\n\nGeneral Medical Council,\n\nHallam Street,\n\nLondon, W.\n\nSpecial",

N. Chau and Lee I. Y. Cheun should be appointed to the Legislative Council for a period of one year or six months, as suggested by Brig. MacDougall, provided that is legally possible: In the light of the legal advice that has been given to us, you will no doubt agree that these two should be appointed on a provisional basis, confirmation by the King being deferred pending your report as to their suitability for office.\n\n(b) That the recommendation in favour of M. K. Lo should be further considered in the light of his record during the Japanese occupation and the treatment which has been accorded to Sir Robert Kotewall:\n\n(c) That Sir Robert Kotewall should be informed on the Governor's return to Hong Kong that his presence at meetings of the Executive Council would not be welcome.\n\nWhen you have had an opportunity of considering this matter further, perhaps you will let me know whether you are still in agreement with these proposals or whether you would wish to modify them in any way.\n\n129\n\n**(S.)

My secret letter to Lloyd dated 16th February sets out the primary considerations involved (a) on assumption that all initial appointments will be temporary as suggested in letter under reference. I recommend following for legislative council none (repeat none) of whom have been consulted. T.N. Chau (repeat Chau), M.K. Lo (repeat Lo), Lee I.U. Cheun (repeat Lee I.U. Cheun). Two former are known to you and are former members. Last named is a well-known and respected local businessman and property owner. He took no part in public life during occupation and left colony in 1944 when threatened by Japanese with heavy fine. He is a J.P. and had a very successful term as chairman of Tung Wah Hospital in 1940/41. Consider it essential that there should be at least one Chinese member of Executive Council but that decision regarding appointment should be left to Governor after his arrival.\n\n2. I would refer to my CA1850 dtg 070836 and remind you that Sir Roger Kotewall remains a member of Executive Council until 7th July, 1946,",

They were scuttled in Hong Kong on various dates between 11th and 15th December, 1941, on the instructions of the Harbour Master. There is no evidence as yet whether they were in a condition to attempt an escape. \n\nMollers also include in their claim the ELSIE MOLLER. G.R.T., Built ?, owner Anglo-Chinese S. Co. Ltd., Company's valuation £16,411, M.O.T. valuation £11,500 but as this vessel was seized off Amoy on her way to Hong Kong, it is clear that any potential claim, other than that against M.O.T., arises in connection with reparations and not denial action. \n\n(iii) Vessels known not to have been insured at the time for loss by denial action. \n\n28.
