R. JOHNSTON. For the Colonial Secretary \n\nR. RIEN AECKER. Acting Colonial Treasurer, \n\n6th.-Trusting that this proposal will meet with your approval, and may result in the permanent improvement of the Police of the Colony, I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your most obedient humble servant, \n\nA. R. JOHNSTON, for the Colonial Secretary. \n\nTo Her Majesty's JUSTICES OF THE PEACE \n\nfor Hongkong. \n\nHONGKONG, 31st January, 1851. \n\nTo the Honourable Major CAINE, \n\nColonial Secretary, Hongkong. SIR, We have had the honour of receiving a letter dated 10th instant, signed your behalf by Mr Johnston, and addressed to the Justices of the Peace of Hongkong by desire of His Excellency the Governor, \n\nIt conveyed to us an offer on the part of His Excellency to give us the entire control and management of the Police Force of the City of Victoria, subject to one or two exceptions. \n\nIn order to meet the necessary expense, His Excellency is willing to assign over to us the Revenue raised from the Police Rates, amounting last year to £2811, and further to place at our disposal for two years the sum annually of £1051,19,2į, being the difference between the amount now expended for the support of the Police Force, and the taxes levied for that purpose, \n\nHaving given every consideration to the proposal that has been made, we would now beg to offer a few remarks. \n\nSince 1848, both the strength and the pay of the Police have been considerably reduced. In 1848, the amount expended on the Police was £2138; in 1850 only £1028,-less than one-half; and we presume that no further reduction would be practicable. In our opinion however the present Police Force is most inefficient, and to establish one of a different character, a greater outlay of money would be required than His Excellency seems disposed to give. Moreover, it is more than probable that the amount at present raised from Police Rates, will, from various causes, in future fall considerably short of what it \n\nnow is. \n\nUnder these circumstances, it would be necessary to assess the community to a greater extent than at present; and in our opinion, such a measure would not only be inexpedient, but lead to general dissatisfaction. \n\nWe are under the necessity therefore of respectfully declining the offer on the terms that His Excellency has proposed. \n\nHis Excellency informs us that the general Revenue of the Colony had been found insufficient for the due construction and repairs of the necessary Roads and Sewers in this City, and forwards us the Draft of an Ordinance, drawn up under the direction of the late Governor Sir John Davis, providing for the necessary expenses of these, by an assessed tax on Real Property. His Excellency suggests the propriety of our considering whether it might not now be advisable to adopt some of the provisions of said Ordinance, substituting a tax upon Horses and Carriages, and upon Chairs, instead of, as intended, upon Real Property. We gather from the tenor of His Excellency's remarks, that in the event of such assessment being made, the management of the Streets, Roads, and Sewers of the City would also be confided to the Justices, or to such body as may afterwards be constituted. \n\nWe have only to repeat, that we cannot recommend further taxation of any kind, unless as a substitute for some present tax of a more objectionable nature. We would beg to remind His Excellency, that during the last 6 or 7 years, various Memorials have been addressed by this Community both to the Government of this Colony and to the Government at home, complaining of heavy and inequitable taxation, and although remonstrances on this subject have latterly been less frequent, it would be erroneous, in our opinion, to suppose that the burden was felt less heavily, and that the present state and prospects of the Colony would warrant the imposition of further taxes. From His Excellency's own remarks on this subject, we are glad to remark that his opinion in this respect coincides with ours. \n\nOn previous occasions the Community expressed the desire to have some control of Municipal matters and of the affairs of the Colony in general, and we should regret, should His Excellency, from what has been stated, suppose that we are now willing to assume the duties belonging to a Municipal Body. \n\nWe are prepared on our own behalf, and we think we may venture to add, in behalf of the Rate-payers in general, to accept His Excellency's offer of the control and management of the Police, which we presume includes also that of this Harbour, provided a sufficient sum is placed by Government at our disposal; and we consider that one of the first charges upon the large revenue derived from the Inhabitants of this place, should be, the sum required for the", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-036 - Sir Bonham - 1851 [1-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 231712, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-037 - Sir Bonham - 1851 [6-9]", "page_number": 230, "title": "CO129-037 - Sir Bonham - 1851 [6-9]", "content_text": "226\n\nReturn of Deposits not available\n\nreceived during the Quarter ended 30th June, 1851–\n\nJudicial Deposit.\n\nPhillips vs Arnott.\n\nIntestate Estates\n\nThomas Larkins\n\n416. 13. 4\n\n1,720. 6. 10/6\n\nR.

Simpson, Town Clerk.\n\nLOCAL INTELLIGENCE.\n\nThe Hambledon Guardians and Rural Sanitary Authority have been invested with urban powers, rights, &c., under the provisions of Sections 157 and 158 of the Public Health Act, 1875, within the contributory places of Bramley, Cranley, Shalford, and Wonersh.\n\nThe Egremont Local Board and Urban Sanitary Authority recently re-appointed Dr. Calderwood as Medical Officer of Health for three years, but the Local Government Board have refused their sanction for more than one year, on account of his being a Poor-law district medical officer.\n\nAt the last meeting of the Driffield Guardians and Rural Sanitary Authority, it was unanimously resolved to decrease the salary of Dr. Wood, Medical Officer of Health, from £130 to £70 per annum, and that of Mr. Sumner, Inspector of Nuisances, &c., from £100 to £100 per annum, upon the expiration of their appointments at Christmas.\n\nIt was recently proposed to form a Local Government District for the Ogmore and Garw Valleys within the area of the Bridgend Rural Sanitary District, and the necessary formal steps were taken under The Public Health Act for that purpose. This was followed by the usual Local Government Inquiry, at which some evidence in opposition was given. At the meeting of the Bridgend Rural Sanitary Authority on the 4th inst., the question was discussed, and a resolution passed upholding a previous one in favour of the formation of the proposed district, as they 'saw no reason to change their opinion after hearing the objections raised at the recent Government Inquiry.'\n\nNOTES AND QUERIES.\n\nHaving for some time back been in the receipt of Queries appertaining strictly to sanitary work, and which it would be easy to answer, without having to refer our correspondents to competent professional advisers, we have opened a column in which to register such Queries and Replies thereto as can fairly be expected from us; and our subscribers and readers are invited to make such use of this column as will tend to benefit themselves and the community. Both Queries and Replies will, however, be subjected, if unnecessarily long, to a strict curtailment.\n\n205. TEST SOLUTIONS FOR WATER ANALYSIS.\n\nI should be much obliged if you would state where you would recommend me to get reliable test solutions for water analysis according to Wanklyn.\n\nR.M.O.H. [Messrs. Y. E. Becker & Co., 34 Maiden Lane, Covent Garden, W.C., supply the solutions in a satisfactory state.—ED.]\n\n206. WATER SUPPLY.\n\nCan you recommend me any book that gives the average quantity of water used or required per head of population throughout the country?\n\nC. W. P.\n\nThe most reliable information as to the quantity of water which should preferably be allowed per head of population under varying conditions is to be found in Parkes' and De Chaumont's 'Practical Hygiene,' and it would, perhaps, be useless to seek elsewhere, as all the information upon this subject is brought down to a late date. Consult the Sixth Edition (1883) of the above work, pages 3 to 7. The publishers are Messrs. J. & A. Churchill, 11 New Burlington Street, London, W. (See also SANITARY RECORD, Aug. 16, 1886, page 91.) All engineers strive as much as possible to allow 30 gallons per head for domestic purposes, and in the work above mentioned this amount is thus distributed—Domestic supply (without bath or closets), 20 gallons; add for general baths, 4 gallons; water-closets, 6 gallons; unavoidable waste, 3 gallons—total, 33 gallons.—ED.]\n\n207. QUALIFICATIONS OF A CHIEF INSPECTOR OF NUISANCES.\n\nWhat do you consider the proper qualifications for a chief inspector of nuisances in a town of between 90,000 and 100,000 inhabitants, whose salary will be between £140 and £160 per annum? There will be several inspectors under him, and there is a medical officer of health who does not practise privately.\n\nALPHA.\n\nThis is not a question which lends itself to any such short answer as alone is possible for us in this corner of the RECORD. But our correspondent will find fully detailed remarks as to the qualifications for the post which he describes in the number for May 15, 1883, p. 510.]\n\nJEYES' PERFECT PURIFIER' is a disinfectant in fluid form of extraordinary efficacy. It is used in the Royal households and by Her Majesty's Government establishments, the Corporation of London, Smithfield and Billingsgate Markets, various steamship and railway companies, the principal hospitals, &c., and is authorised by the Board of Trade and the Indian Government. The testimonials which have been received bear the names among others of such unimpeachable authorities as Sir R. Rawlinson, C.B., C.E., Chief Sanitary Engineer of the Local Board, Home Office; Professor Wanklyn, M.R.C.S.; Dr. C. A. Cameron, Medical Officer of Health, Dublin; Mr. J. T. Dibdin, A.V.D., Cavalry Barracks, York; and Dr. Crookshank, Inspector-General of Prisons, Cairo. In addition to its powerful disinfecting properties, this compound possesses the recommendation that it is non-poisonous, non-corrosive, stainless in use, and cheap. The scientific mind will understand and appreciate this characteristic of the manufacture—that it prevents contagion by destroying its cause; it instantly removes bad smells; is an unfailing cure for eczema and other skin diseases, and is the best known insecticide.—Sold by all respectable Chemists' Stores, &c., in bottles at 6d. and 1s. and drums at 5s. per gallon.

All German business houses were closed for the greater part of the day, and the German flag was much in evidence. S.M.S. \"Iris\" was the only German warship in port, and there was no British warship but the receiving ship \"Tamar\", which, like the \"Iris\", was dressed for the occasion.\n\nThe Reception at the German Club was very largely attended. It is probably no exaggeration to say that every male German in the Colony was present, but it would also probably be true to say that there was quite as large a number of British subjects present. H.E. the Governor (Sir Henry May, K.C.M.G.), H.E. Major-General Anderson, C.B., and practically all the heads of Departments in the Civil Service of the Colony were there, besides a large number of Naval and Military Officers and leading residents of all nationalities. All the Foreign Consuls were also present. The Consul (Dr. Crull) with Mr. Becker (Chairman of the Club), Mr. Friesland, and Mr. Siebs received the guests as they entered the building.\n\nThe function took place in the large dining room, which had been artistically adorned for the occasion with greenery, flags, etc. At the head of the room stood an excellent bust of the Kaiser amid a bower of palms, with the German and British ensigns on the wall above, while at the opposite end of the room was a large etching of the Kaiser, and in another part of the hall a large photograph of His Majesty.\n\nJust before 12 o'clock Mr. A. Becker, Chairman of the Club, paid the graceful compliment to the Colony of proposing the health of H.M. King George V., which was duly honoured.\n\nDr. Crull, the Acting Consul for Germany, then proposed the health of H.M. the Emperor of Germany in a speech of which the following is a translation:-\n\n\"Your Excellency, Gentlemen, Twenty-five years have elapsed since Kaiser Wilhelm II. succeeded his late lamented father on the throne. These 25 years have proved to the German Empire an era of blessing and of peace, and it is with justifiable pride and genuine expressions of joy that the German people review it. We also, we Germans living afar from our Homeland, join with the festive throng throughout the world in offering to the Kaiser our loyal homage. That we do not stand herein alone, but that we see taking part representatives of that nation on whose territory we live, whose protection we enjoy, and to whom we shall always feel grateful for the hospitality granted us during long decades, is to us a special cause of satisfaction.\n\n\"In the name of the German Colony, I beg to express to your Excellency our appreciation of the great honour which you have deigned to confer on us by your visits to yesterday's and to-day's festivities, and your Excellency may rest assured that the remembrance of the more than ordinary share of goodwill meted out to us Germans by your Excellency on these occasions will be retained in the hearts of my fellow-countrymen, as I will always keep it, with sincerest gratitude.\n\n\"We Germans have also to thank those who, either as representatives of their respective nations or as heads of departments, or in the simple capacity of friends and acquaintances, are helping us to celebrate this day of rejoicing. Gentlemen, let me give expression to the hope that to our venerated and beloved Emperor may yet be given long years of happy reign, that the German Empire under his rule may further prosper and develop while at peace with its neighbours and always in closer relations with the nation that hails from the same stock as we do, so that the words remain true, which our Emperor uttered during his first sojourn in London in 1881 as a reigning monarch: 'Following the example set me by my grandfather and my never-forgotten father, I shall always maintain the historical bond of friendship between our two nations, as well as may rest in my power, thanks to which they have been so often united in the past for the protection of freedom and of justice.' Gentlemen, His Majesty the Kaiser! Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!\"\n\nThe toast was honoured with enthusiasm.\n\nH.E. THE GOVERNOR then addressed the gathering in German, speaking with a perfect accent. His speech, translated, was to the following effect:-\n\n\"Gentlemen and honoured Consul,-On behalf of my compatriots, and indeed I may add in the name of the whole Colony of Hongkong, I must express our heartfelt participation in the rejoicings with which our German friends are rightly overwhelmed to-day on the occasion of the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the accession of the Emperor and Empress of Germany.\n\n\"I can assure you that we are one and all animated by the earnest hope that His Majesty the German Emperor may long be spared to his people, nay, to the world; and that the flourishing Empire whose destinies are placed in his hands may, under the government of His Majesty, continue uninterruptedly on its career of glorious achievement.\"", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-401 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [5-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 449195, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-413 - Governor Sir May - 1914 [8-10]", "page_number": 444, "title": "CO129-413 - Governor Sir May - 1914 [8-10]", "content_text": "1\n\n442 information received from His Britannic Majesty's Consul-General at Canton, called out on the 8th of September. The call did not affect Germans in this Colony since they cannot leave it without my permission. But the call technically has rendered most of the 74 persons named in the list liable to serve. I may mention here that about 90 first reservists left the Colony shortly before the outbreak of war for Tsingtau.\n\n3.\n\nIn justice to the German Consul I should also explain here that when he furnished the list of German subjects who were paroled on the 7th and 8th of August, he intimated that as he had no census of German residents there might be others not included in his list. The Police were accordingly instructed to make a complete census of all Germans and Austrians in the Colony and the compilation of the list occupied some time. This may partly explain the discrepancy in the figures of those ultimately liable for service, and accounts for the late date at which some of the residents were paroled. Mr. Rosemann only returned to the Colony recently.\n\n4.\n\nAn examination of the list of names which accompanied Major-General Kelly's letter of the 5th instant shows that of the 74 persons named therein 48 are members of the German Club in this Colony. Among these members are comprised Mr. Gutecke and Mr. Hock, the manager and Assistant Manager of the Deutsch-Asiatische Bank and many other well-known business men who are either in charge of, or assistants in, German firms licensed to trade here. In this connection I may mention that on the departure of the German Consul Mr. A. Becker, Chairman of the German Club, and Mr. O. Struckmeyer of the firm of Siemssen & Co., asked me on behalf of the Committee of the Club to report to them if there should be any complaint of misconduct on the part of any resident member of the Club in order to enable the expulsion from the Club of any member who should infringe his parole or otherwise", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-413 - Governor Sir May - 1914 [8-10].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 449211, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-413 - Governor Sir May - 1914 [8-10]", "page_number": 460, "title": "CO129-413 - Governor Sir May - 1914 [8-10]", "content_text": "521\n\nPARTICULARS OF ENEMY'S SUBJECTS RESIDENT IN HONGKONG WHO ARE LIABLE FOR SERVICE.\n\n \n Pass No\n Name and Age\n Private Address\n Business Address\n Date of Parole\n Complaints\n \n \n 458\n Adam, H., 36\n 3, Connaught Road\n China Export & Import Co.\n 8th August, 1914\n \n \n \n 2\n Barblinger, A., 35\n 13, The Peak\n Berblinger & Co.\n do.\n \n \n \n 7\n Drescher, F., 34\n German Club\n Steward, German Club\n do.\n Aggressive and insolent in his manner to Provost Marshal when getting pass.\n \n \n 8\n Berg, F., 41\n 35, Conduit Road\n Carl Bodiker & Co.\n do.\n \n \n \n 10\n Frölich, E., 27\n 25, Wongnaichong Road\n \n \n \n \n \n 11\n Forrell, T., 27\n 3 Terrace, Kennedy Rd., Kowloon\n \n \n \n \n \n 14\n Gathemann, Capt., 41\n 8.5 Rajaburi\n Gaupp & Co.\n \"Rajaburi\"\n \n \n \n 16\n Gatscke, H., 41\n 12, Peak Road\n German Bank\n do.\n \n \n \n 18\n Hasslop, C., 33\n 2, Durbar Villas, K'loon\n \n \n \n \n \n 20\n Hagen, F., 32\n do.\n Blackhead & Co.\n do.\n \n \n \n 21\n Hartig, G., 29\n 3, Ormsby Villas\n Kruse & Co.\n 8th August, 1914\n 10th August 1914\n \n \n 24\n Hermingling, F., 44\n 130, McDonnell Road\n \n 7th August, 1914\n Report from French Consul General that he is spreading false information.

Colonial Secretary,\n\n1.\n\nI could not get hold of Mr. Siebs, but I saw Messrs. A. Becker, Lieb and Struckmeyer on the matter together. They naturally asked for a cancellation of the leases, and were unwilling to discuss any terms of disclaimer. The points on which they laid stress were as follows:-\n\n(a) Expulsion and forced winding up and consequent hardship;\n\n(b) It is the State which has prevented their enjoyment of the premises and the State ought to relieve them from the liability;\n\n(c) The position of the landlords is so strong as regards offices, 75% being practically under one control, that after the war is over and the Germans return the landlords will be powerful enough to make as favourable terms for themselves as they can reasonably ask for. In other words the landlords will be able to ask any rent they like, up to a certain limit of course.\n\n2.\n\nI have seen Mr. Looker on behalf of the landlords, as he is acting for the Land Investment Company and the Central Estate. He agrees that as a matter of law the leases have not been determined, and he objects to any power of disclaimer being given to the liquidator, or to the German lessees, except possibly in the case of insolvent firms. He lays stress on the point that the rents were fixed low at first in the Praya Reclamation buildings with a view to develop the property, and that they were on the point of being raised.\n\n3.\n\nJ.

HONGKONG. 11th January, 1915.\n\nSir,\n\nI have the honour to transmit for your consideration the enclosed copy of correspondence with Messrs. Sanders Rehders & Co., Ltd., which is apparently a British Company carrying on business in Manchester and London, on the subject of the winding up of the German Firm of Sander Wieler & Co. in this Colony.\n\nMr. James Backhouse, an Englishman of good repute, was in the employ of Messrs. Sander Wieler & Co., and it was at the express request of Mr. A. Becker, the Head of the firm in question, that Messrs. H. Wicking & Co. were appointed Liquidators in this case.\n\nAnother firm, in the piece goods business, had been selected; and it was no doubt owing to the fact that it was intimated that Mr. Backhouse would be kept on by the Liquidators that Mr. Becker was anxious that his firm, which appears to have acted as Agents for Messrs. Sanders Rehders & Co., should be wound up by a firm which enjoyed Mr. Backhouse's assistance.\n\n## \n\n2. I have no knowledge of the firm of Sanders Rehders & Co., Ltd. But if they are a British Company, I see no objection to their appointing Mr. Backhouse to be their agent in Hongkong for their business in the Far East. This would, of course, involve his doing new business on behalf of Messrs. Sanders Rehders & Co., and while I can see no objection to this, it would not be a popular arrangement among local British firms engaged in the piece goods trade, some of whom no doubt hope to acquire the Agencies of Messrs. Sanders Rehders & Co.\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE \nLEWIS HARCOURT, M.P., \n&c., \n&c., \n&c.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-420 - Governor Sir May - 1915 [1-2].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 454232, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-422 - Governor Sir May - 1915 [5-6]", "page_number": 446, "title": "CO129-422 - Governor Sir May - 1915 [5-6]", "content_text": "## DRAFT.\n\nMINUTE.\n\n15th July, 1915\n\nI have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your despatch No. 215 of the 4th June \"h\", reporting that further remittance £2000 £7000 £ have been placed to the credit of the Prince JW.

In present circumstances it is, for financial reasons, quite impossible for this Government to meet the cost of additional permanent barracks and even in normal times it would, I am afraid, be impossible to put any such proposal to the Legislative Council with the slightest prospect of its being favourably received. Public feeling against the War Office on account both of the Military Contribution and the Military Lands question is very strong; I think the word 'bitter' would not be an exaggeration and the opportunity would be taken to start acrimonious discussion in Council which would do no good to British prestige.\n\n3.

Paper No. 248-C), in regard to the possible future need of an aerodrome in the vicinity of Hong Kong, and to acquaint you, for the information of the Secretary of State for the Colonies, that they have recently received reports which suggest that the question of effecting certain reservations on what is now reported as the only suitable site for an air base at Hong Kong should now be considered.\n\nThe Kowloon reclamation area, the site in question, is owned by the Kai Tak Company who are reported to have failed financially and to be anxious to sell. At the present time a part of the reclaimed area is being used as an aerodrome by a flight of aircraft from H.M.S. Hermes at a low rental of one dollar per month.\n\nIn their report (C.I.D. Paper No. 617-B), the Chiefs of Staff suggested that local interests in Hong Kong might be expected to contribute in some way towards military expenditure on the defence of Hong Kong. It is known that the Hong Kong Government would have been willing in 1922 to contribute towards the cost of a local aerodrome site provided that some Air Force unit were permanently stationed there in peace time.\n\nAlthough the present situation does not warrant the permanent location of an air base at Hong Kong, it might be necessary, in the event of the growth of the present unrest in China and the development of Chinese air forces, to establish\n\nThe Under Secretary of State,\n\nColonial Office,\n\nDowning Street,\n\nS.W.1.\n\nPage 1\n\n \n\nwas removed and replaced with proper paragraph tags for better readability.

But it is almost impossible for me to express what I am feeling, for I have not yet properly assimilated the fact of the great honour you have done me in making me one of the Patrons of the new B.O.G.A. I send you my most grateful thanks for that, and for sending me your signatures to gladden my old heart, and to remind me as I read over the list of names of many things connected with each one of you which come back to me in association with your dear names. I have been mentally putting each one of you before me as I read, and am astonished to find how much of the past comes to my memory, and such a pleasant past. Had it been possible I should have liked to send a separate letter to each of you, but you will understand that this collective acknowledgment means just as much. That your new Association may prosper is the dearest wish of your old friend, **E. TUTCHER, Patron, B.O.G.A.**\n\nTo return to the dinner; when the meal was over, a short informal concert was given, songs being sung by Mrs. Gutierrez, Miss Olivia Xavier and Miss Mow Fung; we greatly enjoyed all the songs.\n\nThen followed games, including strenuous musical chairs, made all the more exciting because the chairs showed a distinct tendency to turn round with the players. Then someone was inspired to think of a flash-light photograph, and while we waited for this to be taken we sang part songs with great fervour under the direction of Miss Xavier. We gave a most spirited rendering of old favourites like \"Under the Spreading Chestnut Tree,\" familiar to Guides, and \"Three Blind Mice\"; and we extended our knowledge of the Chinese language by wrestling with the Chinese Version of \"Three Blind Mice,\" best written, I think, as \"Sam ko mang lo shü.\" Unfortunately we could not agree on the whole verse, so we must wait for the next B.O.G.A. dinner to complete our knowledge.\n\nAfter the Photograph had been taken, the meeting ended with \"For she's a jolly good fellow\" and good wishes to Miss Skinner; then with \"Auld Lang Syne\" and a vote of thanks to Miss Lewis, the Vice-President of the Association.\n\nIt was altogether a delightful evening, and great credit for its success must be given to those responsible for the arrangements.\n\n## THE B.O.G.A.'S SUMMER PICNIC\n\nIt was originally intended to have an outing to Shatin by train on the 11th June, but unfortunately owing to the poor response from members, due no doubt to the very warm weather, it was decided to have a launch picnic instead.\n\nOn the 17th June, a party of over 60 members and their friends left Queen's Pier by a double-decker launch at 5.30 p.m. for Seaton. The journey took about ¾ of an hour, by which time the swimmers had donned their bathing suits ready for the water. These spent a very enjoyable dip, especially the children, of whom there was a large number. Those who did not swim went ashore and spent a very pleasant time rambling in the garden and on the slopes of the hills around Seaton. Upon returning on board, refreshments were served, the catering being in the hands of Messrs. Lane, Crawford. During the journey home, the songsters rendered several items, and it was not until a late hour that the merry party returned to Hongkong.\n\nThe outing was a decided success, so much so that members voted for another one. This second picnic took place on the 30th June, but it was not so well supported, as at the last moment the weather looked threatening and kept quite a number of subscribers away. However, the keener members braved the elements and the launch duly sailed at 5.30 p.m. when fortunately the weather cleared.\n\nThe venue this time was a small bay near the Kowloon Docks. The swimmers found the water very enjoyable and everybody spent a most pleasant afternoon. This time the catering was kindly undertaken by Miss Delminda Lopes, who unfortunately could not attend at the last moment owing to the death of her cousin. She has the sympathy of all B.O.G.A. members. Miss Marian Yuen very kindly came forward and volunteered to look after the catering and she made a very energetic and capable substitute.\n\nThe Editor of the Belilios Journal hopes to make the Magazine a means of keeping the Old Girls of B.P.S. in touch not only with the present girls but with their own contemporaries. In every Magazine there will be a section devoted to the meetings of the B.O.G.A., but we would like to have one part also for the news of Old Girls themselves. Members of the B.O.G.A. are therefore urged to send to the Hon. Secretary of the Association any news of themselves which will be of interest to their friends; this will be passed on to the Editor of the Belilios Journal.

Ralphs, late Acting-Director of Education, Hong Kong, who has been engaged for some time in considering arrangements for Hong Kong students in this country, might also be noted in this connection, as facilities for Chinese students over here is part of the problem referred to in the Economic Mission Report.\n\n## CULTURAL RELATIONS WITH CHINA \n\n## LEAGUE APPOINTMENTS \n\nFROM OUR LEAGUE CORRESPONDENT \n\nGENEVA, JULY 26 \n\nThe League Committee of Intellectual Cooperation, which to-day concluded its session, considered the request of the Chinese Government asking the competent League institutes and organs to cooperate with China in the intellectual and scientific domains, in particular through the agency of interchanges of university professors. China would send to Europe scientists, writers, philosophers, historians, and archaeologists; the League would organize the dispatch to China of specialists in medical and natural science and on legal and political questions.\n\nThe Committee has appointed the following persons as professors for Nanking University—MM. Parejas (Switzerland), Professor of Geology at Geneva University, and Kredner (Germany), Professor of Geography at Canton University. A Professor of English Literature will be appointed later. The salaries of the professors will be supplemented by the League from special funds at the disposal of the Secretary-General.\n\nAs regards the study of the organization of the Chinese educational system the Committee has appointed a mission which will include Professor Carl Becker, former Prussian Minister of Education, Professor Falski, Director at the Polish Ministry of Education, Professor Langevin, of the Collège de France, Mr. R.

P. W. HUTSON\n\nIn appearance and also, as we found later, in taste these Chinese mushrooms could not be told from English ones. Their gathering was the last event of the day. It was high time to start back or it would be dark before we reached the car. Regretfully therefore we returned to the little stone bridge and left the valley.\n\nHowever before long we were back again. In fact we came many times that spring and on each visit penetrated the valley a little deeper or examined it from a fresh angle. And never did we have a really blank day. Our interests were varied and we left it to the valley to settle which, on any one day, should take precedence. Ornithology would be favoured on one day, on another botany. We started with no preconceived intentions but searched streamside, cultivation or woodland as circumstances indicated. Taken all round however, the most productive hunting grounds, catering for all tastes, were the villages and their surroundings. It was by Hang Ha Po that we discovered the first birds' nests, one, in the top of a water banian, belonging to a Black-faced Babbler and another, sewn to a large fig leaf, owned by a Tailor-bird. There too the botanist found much of interest among the weeds that grew on the waste ground in front of the huts.\n\nThe False Ipecacuanha (Asclepias currassavica) was most abundant and its orange-red flowers made a fine splash of colour setting off the white trumpet blooms of the Datura alba that grew alongside. Very common on the banks and rough walls that separated the village holdings was the curious Bryophyllum calycinum. Cactus or prickly pear, intended to keep out maraudering goats, topped these banks as a rule and in some places there were rough hedges, equally thorny, among which the opened pods of the Fruit climber Abrus precatorius displayed its black-spotted scarlet seeds. Trees such as the pomelo, pawpaw and lime grew about the village and behind it the Lychee, the Litsea, the Rose Apple (Eugenia jambos) and others.\n\nThe culmination of tree growth was the grove, a dark shady wood of tall trees with great fern-clad buttressed trunks. In its inner sunless depths wild life was scarce in the early part of the year but the outskirts always repaid a search. The butterfly hunter in particular found plenty to occupy him on the sunny side of the grove and also on the village waste lands. Blue-barred Danais similis, dark Euploeas that only occasionally showed their deep violet markings and the brown Lethe europa, its female conspicuous by the broad white band on the forewing, all were to be had in plenty. There was a White too, Pieris canidia, closely resembling our small Garden White (P. rapae) and the large and brilliant Papilio family was represented by the black and red Papilio memnon, a shade lover, and by the rapid flying Papilio antiphates with the orange tail.\n\nIn April the grove itself awoke. Butterflies became more numerous than ever on its outskirts and many gaily coloured caterpillars found succulent feeding on the undergrowth within. Groups of Candle flies were to be seen on the tree trunks, seemingly asleep but alert enough when one tried to catch them. The grating call of the Cicada, a large yellow and black variety, arose on every hand. But the most marked change in the wild life of the grove took place amongst the birds. Magpies had been in possession since February and now had youngsters in their nest.\n\n109\n\nTheir sway over the woodland was almost undisputed for only a few Doves and Tits had shared the place with them. Now other bird folk hurried in. From the marshlands came Herons and Egrets returning to the valley of their birth. For a while one saw them gathered on the newly flooded paddy fields - the pure white Little Egrets, the Cattle Egrets wearing their orange breeding plumes and the Pond Herons chestnut-headed and black-backed, showing no white at all till they opened their wings in flight. Not for long however could they afford to idle. There was much work to be done. None of the last year's nests in the grove remained; all had to be rebuilt. So the colony was soon hard at work. To and fro, throughout the day, flew the birds, bearing sticks to their nests. From every quarter of the compass they came and what a bubbling and squawking arose at each arrival. By mid-April most of the nests were well advanced and by the end of the month many, perhaps the majority, contained eggs.\n\nThere were other birds besides these Herons that came to nest in the grove. Early in April a very kingfisher-like call was to be heard among the trees and glimpses might be caught of the sable plumaged Koel chasing its mate. We suspected this couple to have been responsible for the strange eggs that were found a week or so later in the untidy nest a Black-necked Mynah had built high up in a tree on the grove's edge. Some of its secrets the grove guarded too well for us. It never, for instance, showed us where the Barbet nested. We heard the bird's plaintive 'uloo-uloo-uloo' continuously; often we saw the caller either flying from one grove to another or perched in a tree when we could without much difficulty approach beneath and watch it at close quarters whilst it reiterated its curious plaint.\n\nThere must have been a pair of Barbets in practically every grove in the valley. And, what is more, there were old trees so riddled with the birds' nesting holes that they must have been in use for generations. Yet we failed to find a single new nest and the villagers could (or would) not help in the matter.\n\nOur party broke up at the end of April. We had by no means exhausted the possibilities of the valley. Indeed it is a place that would be worth keeping in touch with throughout the year. A final visit, a descent into the valley from Tai-mo-shan, following a steep watercourse abounding in falls and crossing tracts of really tropical vegetation where tree ferns, wild plants, rare orchids and countless botanical treasures grew luxuriantly, showed that Lam Tsun valley has fields that we never really touched. They await a fresh band of bug hunters.\n\nBIRDS OF THE LAM TSUN VALLEY. Nesting species are marked.*\n\n1. Black-faced Babbler, Dryonastes p. perspicillatus.*\n\n2.

Appleton and Co., London, 12/6 Nett).\n\nA. H. CROOK,\n\nThis is a wonderfully fascinating and very important book. Howard's name alone, if nothing else would insure this.\n\nDr.\n\nIt is not a text-book of entomology nor yet a handbook of insect pests on plants. But it is a clarion call, and a vision of what the enlightened entomologist sees as the duty of the present and the hope of the near future.\n\nThe book is a mass of interesting facts about insects, their modes of life and metamorphoses, their parasites and enemies and about applied insecticides. But these are only asides so to say. The main outline might be put thus. On the surface of the earth at the present time two groups— man and the insects-may be counted as the only animals which are definitely on the increase. It is a neck and neck race between them for the mastery of the world.\n\nThe insects have the pull in time and adaptation,\n\nfor they have been on the earth for millions of years before man appeared, and they have, so to say, 'dug themselves well in.' Man is a recent arrival. He is, too, a bit of a 'green horn,' (This, however, is by the way). Many things, but three especially, the gregarious life adopted by man the domestication of animals and the domestication of plants,-have given the insects unwonted opportunities for mass reproduction. We are constantly herding ourselves in great cities, growing huge areas with masses of food crops, and collecting great herds of cattle. All these are just feeding grounds for insects, and they have utilised the advantage to the full.\n\nNot much wonder that the insects have found in these great sources of supply a magnificent chance of breeding by the million.\n\nThen man has taken it into his head to move about-with ever increasing rapidity. The result can easily be guessed. Insects have constantly found themselves in a new environment, a perfect paradise, where their old enemy controls have not yet arrived. The result may be, and often has been, a plague of insects.\n\nAre man and his food supply to be thus eaten out of the world altogether? And is man to be driven from the face of the earth?\n\nAt times it looks as if this would be the result-but civilised man is waking up.\n\nThis volume will be widely read with great interest, but there are few places where it would be read with greater advantage and profit than in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is an insects' paradise.\n\nNo resident needs to be told that. But what does the resident think of the loss of life, the damage, and the annoyance which these pests cause? And what efforts and expenditure are being put forth in Hong Kong to regulate and control this awful wastage? One need only mention the names of three or four classes of insects to bring the matter home and there are thousands of others.\n\nCOCKROACHES are a constant annoyance and destroying food, clothing, books, pictures, and what not.\n\npest in the Colony, But what is being done to get rid of them and to reduce their ravages?\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.\n\nMay 1932.\n\n129", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-538-1 Hong Kong University 31-12-1931 - 6-8-1932.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 532861, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-538-1 Hong Kong University 31-12-1931 - 6-8-1932", "page_number": 101, "title": "CO129-538-1 Hong Kong University 31-12-1931 - 6-8-1932", "content_text": "146\n\nNotes Comments\n\nLARGE WHITE-RUMPED SWIFT (Apus pacificus pacificus).\n\nOn March 6th several of these birds were seen flying round the summit of the mountain Ng Tung Shan (Height 3,100 ft.). Last year on March 2nd they were observed near the top of Kowloon Peak, this was noted as an unusually early date to see these Swifts.\n\nPEREGRINE FALCON (Falco peregrinus calidus).\n\nA pair of these birds were seen on the slopes of Ng Tung Shan on March 6th; on March 19th a single bird was seen over the frontier road near Sha Tau Kok.\n\nEASTERN GREY CRANE (Megalornis grus lilfordi).\n\nOn November 30th two of these birds were seen at Ping Shan feeding on a paddy field near the sea; observers at Chilang Point have informed us that several of these birds frequent this district throughout the winter months. These huge birds are unmistakable, their length varies between 42 and 60 inches. They are difficult to approach on account of their extreme wariness, they are usually found on saltings or cultivated land near the sea.\n\nCROW PHEASANT (Centropus s. sinensis).\n\nOn February 21st the crow pheasant was heard calling for the first time, the bird is said to breed in April, though actually no nests were found until May last year.\n\nJAVA SPARROW (Munia orizivora).\n\nThis bird was first seen on 10th November, it is one of the two Weavers to visit the colony. A small number of these birds took up residence in shrubs in the dockyard for some time, but as these birds were very tame they may have been escapes from captivity, especially as they are favourite cage birds with the Chinese. A gaily coloured little bird with a bright pink bill and legs, head and neck black with a conspicuous white patch on sides of the head below the eye, dove-grey upper parts, underparts dove grey to white under tail-coverts, tail black.\n\nCHINESE STARLING (Sturnia sinensis).\n\nSmall numbers of these birds were seen on April 6th in trees around the village of Kam Tin. This species is a common spring visitor and stays to breed; it is a much smaller bird than either of the Mynahs. The head, neck and upper parts are creamy grey, wings white with black primaries, underparts creamy grey, tail black tipped white, bill blue, legs plumbeous. This species is noisy and has a variety of calls and whistlings after the manner of the Sturnidæ, April 1st arrived Island House Tai Po.\n\nINDIAN KOEL (Eudynamis orientalis honorata).\n\nFirst seen and heard on April 6th in a grove by the village of Sek Kong, Kam Tin district. On April 8th a bird was seen in the Lam Tsuen valley and on the same day in the woods at Fanling. The call of this bird can be confused with that of no other bird except that of the Great Chinese Barbet (Megalaima virens virens); there are several districts in the New Territory where both species are fairly numerous such as the Lam Tsuen valley. During the nesting season the incessant mournful calling of the male birds is heard both day and night until it positively becomes a nuisance. The Koel is known to Europeans as the Rain bird. Common to the habit of Cuckoos this bird lays one or more eggs in the nest of another bird preferably that of the Black-necked Mynah (Gracupica nigricollis); the eggs laid bear a considerable resemblance in colour to these of this bird. On April 26th last year a single egg was found in the nest of a Black-necked Mynah, on June 30th three young Koels were found in another of these Mynahs nests. The Indian Cuckoo (Cuculus m. micropterus) was not seen till April 13th when six birds were seen in the Lam Tsuen Valley.\n\nGREY-HEADED BLACK-FACED BUNTING (Emberiza spodocephala spodocephala).\n\nOn March 26th several birds were seen together near the village of Tung Chung, Lan Tau Island. They were perched about the bushes bordering a stream. These birds are noticeable at once by their bright colours, the head and neck is grey with a conspicuous chestnut patch on the cheeks, upper parts bright chestnut, primaries brown edged with chestnut, under parts buffish-white tail brownish-black.\n\nWe have recorded this species once before also on Lan Tau, this was in December 1930, on this occasion several birds were seen together on the South Coast of the Island.\n\nEASTERN HOUSE SWALLOW (Hirundo rustica gutturalis).\n\nFirst seen on February 20th. An observer tells us that as early as March 12th a nest was being built on an uninhabited house in the Castle Peak Tsuen valley.\n\nCHINESE LITTLE BITTERN (Ixobrychus s. sinensis).\n\nOn 15th March a specimen was picked up at Aberdeen (Hong Kong) in an exhausted condition and died soon afterwards. This bird proved to be a young male. The Chinese Little Bittern is said to be common and breeding in Kwangtung, but we have no records of their doing so in the Colony, although a few birds appear to remain throughout the winter.\n\nTHE JAPANESE ROBIN FLYCATCHER (Siphia Mujimaki).\n\nOn March 19th a single bird was seen in a paddy field near the village of San Uk Ling, Sham Chun, the bird was hawking insects. This bird has the habit of feeding on migration close to the ground, actually alighting to take its food off the ground then regaining its perch on a neighbouring bush.\n\nA most attractively coloured bird the upper parts grey-black with white car-coverts, bar and blotch on wing and bases to side feathers and tail, under parts orange and white, bill black, legs reddish-brown. In summer the upper parts are black. This is the first record we have made of this flycatcher.\n\n147\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.\n\nMay 1932.\n\n167", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-538-1 Hong Kong University 31-12-1931 - 6-8-1932.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 532862, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-538-1 Hong Kong University 31-12-1931 - 6-8-1932", "page_number": 102, "title": "CO129-538-1 Hong Kong University 31-12-1931 - 6-8-1932", "content_text": "168\n\n148\n\nNotes Comments\n\nTHE BLACK-NAPED ORIOLE (Oriolus chinensis indicus).\n\nFirst date reported this year March 29th perched in the top branches of a Cananga tree in the Botanical gardens, this must be an early comer as the bird was not seen until April 30th last year. On April 13th an Oriole was seen and heard in full song in a garden at Tai Po. THE ASHY DRONGO (Dicrurus leucophaeus hopwoodi).\n\nThis rare visitor has been observed in the Botanical gardens since January 6th, at the time of writing April 6th the bird is still with us. On page 65 Vol. III, No. 1, of the Hong Kong Naturalist, it was stated that this was the first time we have recorded the Ashy Drongo, this is incorrect for in February and March 1930 a solitary bird was seen in these gardens, see page 90 Vol. I, No. 2, of the Hong Kong Naturalist.\n\nOn April 6th, the day on which the Black-naped Oriole was first seen, an observer watched these two rare species perched close together on the same tree in the Botanical gardens,\n\nBIRDS OF THE SHAM CHUN VALLEY.\n\nAs a typical example of the number of species of birds that can be seen in an afternoon in the New Territory, the following list is given, it was compiled by a party of five observers on March 19th whilst walking up the Sham Chun valley towards the villages of San Uk Ling and Muk Wo.\n\nThis district was entirely new ground to all in the party:-\n\nChinese Pied Kingfisher (Ceryle rudis insignis).\nEastern Little Blue Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis bengalensis).\nEastern White-breasted Kingfisher (Halcyon smyrnensis fusca).\nChinese Fan-tail Warbler (Cisticola juncidis tintinnabulans).\nBrown Bush-Warbler (Oreopneuste f. fuscata).\nEastern Quail (Coturnix c. japonica).\n\nSouth China Grey Tit (Parus cinereus commixtus),\nChinese Black Drongo (Dicrurus macrocercus cathœcus).\nChinese Tailor Bird (Orthotomus sutorius longicauda).\nBlack-necked Mynah (Gracupica nigricollis).\nChinese Crested Mynah (Aethiopsar c. cristatellus).\nChinese Red-vented Bulbul (Molpastes hæmorrhous chrysorrhoides).\n\nChinese Red-whiskered Bulbul (Otocompsa emeria jocosa).\nChinese Bulbul (Pycnonotus sinensis sinensis).\nRichard's Pipit (Anthus r. richardi).\nEastern Tree Pipit (Anthus trivialis hodgsoni).\nChinese Dayal Bird (Copsychus saularis prosthopellus).\nChinese Rufous-backed Shrike (Lanius s. schach).\n\nEastern House Swallow (Hirundo rustica gutturalis).\nWhite-rumped Swift (Apus p. pacificus).\nChinese Stonechat (Saxicola torquata stejnegeri).\nDaurian Redstart (Phœnicurus a. auroreus).\nCrow Pheasant (Centropus s. sinensis).\n\nSouth China White-Eye (Zosterops simplex simplex).\n\nNotes & Comments\n\n149\n\nChinese Tree Sparrow (Passer montanus saturatus).\nEastern Turtle Dove (Streptopelia o. orientalis).\nBlack-eared Kite (Milvus lineatus).\nEastern Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus calidus).\n\nChinese Magpie (Pica pica sericea).\nLittle Egret (Egretta g. garzetta).\nCattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis coromandus).\nChinese Blackbird (Turdus merula mandarinus).\n\nGrey Wagtail (Budytes cinereus caspicus).\nWhite-faced Wagtail (Motacilla alba leucopsis).\n\nTOTAL 34 SPECIES.\n\nIt will be noticed that several of the common species were not seen, such as the Blue Magpie, Babbling Thrush, Violet Whistling Thrush, Kestrel, Collared Crow and Cuckoo, so that it seems reasonable to suppose that by putting in a whole day upwards of 40 different species might be observed. We ask readers to endeavour to better this total and forward to us their list for comparison.\n\nNESTING NOTES.-March and early April, 1932.\n\nNests have been observed as follows:-\n\nChinese Magpie (Pica p. sericea) March 14th in University compound; March 17th Kai Lung, nest in a pine tree at 30 feet containing 3 youngsters estimated at not less than a fortnight old; March 17th near Lower Kai Lung in a pine tree at 20 feet, nest with one egg; March 19th Victoria Road in a pine tree at 15 feet,—2 eggs; March 22nd Kam Tin in a Melia tree at 30 feet,-4 eggs, these eggs were especially large for a magpie measuring 1.1 by 1.45 inches as compared with an average of 0.9 by 1.3, but as the nest was that of a Magpie and the bird was seen leaving the nest there can be no doubt as to the identity of the eggs.\n\nCollared Crow (Corvus torquatus) March 17th at San Tin situated 40 feet up in the fork of a Banyan Tree. The nest was composed of small branches, grass and mud, and contained 3 young birds about a week old; March 19th Aberdeen district in a Pine Tree at 18 feet, nest composed of small branches and pine needles lined with cotton wool, 5 eggs, four eggs were a uniform colour one egg much lighter average size of the eggs 1.6 by 1.2 inches. These are the first records we have made of the nests of these birds in the colony. The note of the Collared Crow is a harsh deep croak somewhat reminiscent of the raven.\n\nBlack-necked Mynah (Gracupica nigricollis). On April 6th two nests seen in the process of building in the fork of Bombax trees near Kam Tin village. The nests are untidy looking made chiefly of dried grasses which the birds could be seen taking to the nest.\n\nBlack-eared Kite (Milvus lineatus).\nMarch 18th below Lugard road 18 feet up in a Litsea tree, one egg very pale colour; March 18th below Harlech road 25 feet up in a Pine tree, three eggs all very pale colour; March 22nd below Stubbs Road 18 feet up in a pine tree-3 eggs, two of these eggs were heavily marked with chocolate and dark brown spots and\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.\n\nMay 1932.\n\n169", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-538-1 Hong Kong University 31-12-1931 - 6-8-1932.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 533124, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-538-2 Hong Kong University 23-6-1932 - 15-3-1933", "page_number": 98, "title": "CO129-538-2 Hong Kong University 23-6-1932 - 15-3-1933", "content_text": "156\n\nG.

HERKLOTS\n\ndistrict).\" In 1928 a census of the herons and heronries in England and Wales was carried out and it was shown that there are about 3,900 pairs of herons occupying 278 sites, an average of about 14 nests per heronry. There has just been completed a census of the great crested grebes, the number of pairs being computed at between 1155-1162 occupying 490 sites. But the bitterns are very much rarer than either of these other two birds and only a few pairs now breed each year in protected localities on some of the Norfolk Broads. A census of the Heronries of the New Territories and the Egrets and Herons that inhabit them would be quite a simple matter but it would be impossible to make any count of the number of Bitterns that frequent these territories because their nests are built close to the ground in reeds and grasses and are extremely difficult to find.\n\nHONG KONG SPECIES :— According to Gee's \"A Tentative List of Chinese Birds\" 1926, five species of Bittern occur in China and all these are resident in, or visit, Kwangtung at some time of the year. These five species are Schrenck's Little Bittern, common in Kwangtung May to October; Chinese Little Bittern, very common in Kwangtung in the summer, breeding May to August, less common in the winter; Chestnut Bittern resident in Kwangtung, common April to October rare in winter; Yellow-necked Bittern, Kwangtung May to October, only a few remaining during the winter; and the Eastern Great Bittern which is common in Kwangtung during the spring and autumn, rare in winter. Although, in all probability, all these species may be seen in our Territories yet our knowledge of the Bitterns is confined to scattered observations on three species only. Descriptions of all five are given below in the hope that observers may add to our knowledge of this interesting group of birds.\n\nThe three species known to occur in the Colony are:-\n\nThe Chinese Little Bittern, Ixobrychus sinensis sinensis, Gmelin. Our records of this species are confined to the months of September, October and March, which is curious as the species is probably very much commoner in the summer. This bird has a wide range being found throughout almost the whole of Asia from India to Manchuria and Japan in the north to the Malay Peninsula and the islands north of Australia in the south.\n\nThe Chestnut Bittern or Cinnamon Heron, Ixobrychus cinnamomeus, Gmelin. Caldwell writes that he finds that this bittern is not as common in south China as the other small bitterns and our single record of this species supports this. Similar in distribution to that of the Chinese Little Bittern.\n\nThe Eastern Great Bittern, Botaurus stellaris orientalis. The largest of the Chinese bitterns, distributed throughout eastern Asia. Our records of this species are confined to the months November, December and January though it is probably much commoner in spring and autumn.\n\nThis species is called the Common Bittern in the Philippines.\n\nThe two other species which probably occur in the Colony are:- Schrenck's Little Bittern, Ixobrychus eurhythmus, Swinhoe. Recorded from eastern Siberia to Japan in the north and Borneo and the Philippines in the South.\n\nThe Yellow-necked Bittern or Black Bittern, Ixobrychus flavicollis flavicollis (Latham). Ranges from India to South China in the north to the Malay Archipelago and the Philippines in the south. From time to time we have received records of bitterns seen in the neighbourhood of the U.S.R.C. grounds in Kowloon. The birds seen may very likely have been this species, as Caldwell writes of it.\" This heron is distributed pretty generally throughout the plains and among the foot hills, but seems to prefer regions about the habitation of man.\"\n\nDESCRIPTION AND FIELD IDENTIFICATION:-The Notes given below are derived from a selection of books of reference on the birds of China, the Philippines, Borneo and Singapore and from a skin of the Chinese Little Bittern.

Similar to male. than adults, more freckled and mottled, sides of face and ear-coverts chestnut, abdomen white.\n\nSUMMARY:---Chinese Little Bittern; the black quills are so striking that when the bird leaves the ground half the wings appear to be black. Chestnut Bittern; cinnamon-rufous of upper and tawny buff of lower surfaces and absence of black on wings. Eastern Great Bittern; large size, Schrenck's tawny yellow heavily streaked with black above and below. Little Bittern, small size, rich chest with heavy markings and absence of black on wings. Yellow-necked Bittern, long yellow and streaked neck and rest of body generally grey and black.\n\nHABITS :-With the exception of the Yellow-necked Bittern these birds are shy and retiring in their habits. They frequent the cultivated valleys of the foot-hills feeding in the swamps and paddy fields. In the local Territories the most favoured districts in which we have observed these birds are the Ping Shan, Kam Tin and Lam Tsun Valley districts. Caldwell records that the Chinese Little Bittern has a loud guttural call.\n\nNESTING HABITS:-The Chinese Little Bittern. Caldwell p. 308, writes,\" As a general thing the nests we have found of this species have been in heavy swordgrass overhanging paddy fields or other bog, or water, The bird builds its nest just as commonly among the reeds and tall grasses adjacent to water courses or in marshes. The nest is of rather bulky proportions, being constructed of grass blades, reeds and other pliable material, worked tightly about the supporting grass. The eggs are pale greenish to creamy-white, unmarked. Season, May and June.\n\nThe Chestnut Bittern. Herbert (3) p. 323, has the following account of nests of this species found in Siam. This Bittern may be seen in the paddy fields during the rains, but it is not common, and the eggs are very difficult to obtain. I have watched various pairs on the rough ground at the Sports Club, at the Ditches and at Paklat, and I have had men searching for the nests, but on those occasions without success.\n\nEggs have been found twice, but in both cases the bird was flushed from the nest when in pursuit of something else.\n\n64\n\nThe first nest was found by me at the Ditches\" (25.6.13) when I was looking for the nest of a Francolin which I had seen about there. saw the head of a bird appear some forty yards ahead and, although I marked the spot, I had the greatest difficulty in finding the bird, but eventually flushed a Chestnut Bittern from its nest. The nest was on the top of a clump of the small round bulrushes, the heads having been bent over and more rushes added to complete the structure. It was entirely built of fresh green bulrushes, very neat and clean, and situated about a foot above the water of one of the ditches. There were three eggs, which were slightly incubated. A fortnight later I searched the bulrushes at that place, and found two new nests close together, but no eggs were ever laid in them. The following year I visited the same spot at a later date, but it was a dry season and there was little or no cover, so it was not surprising that I found no Bitterns there. The second clutch was found by my collector at Tachin\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.\n\nThe Birds of Hong Kong.—Part XI\n\n161\n\non 15.8.19, and the eggs were slightly incubated. The nest was brought in with the eggs and was exactly the same as the others which I had seen. The nesting season is apparently June to August.\n\nThe eggs are broad regular ovals, with no appreciable difference between the two ends. In colour they are white with a very faint greenish tinge, but this may only be perceptible when the eggs are placed alongside pure white ones. The shell is fine and compact in texture, but is without gloss. Three is locally said to be the full complement, but this may not be correct as four to five is reported to be the general number in Burma. The average size for six eggs is 31.9 × 26.7 mm.\n\nThe Eastern Great Bittern is not known to nest in south China. Schrenck's Little Bittern. Caldwell, p. 307 writes,-\"The nest is composed of grasses and leaves to the proportions of a thick and slightly cupped pad, and is placed in reeds and grass near the ground, or in overhanging grass at a distance of several feet from the ground. The eggs usually number from three to five, and are rather elliptical in shape, varying from a pale creamy to pale greenish-white. Season, May and June.' Yellow-necked Bittern. Caldwell, p. 309, writes,—“We have repeatedly taken the eggs of this bird in and round Foochow. The nest is a platform of sticks, sometimes well formed and quite deeply cupped, and is placed in bamboos or trees, usually not to exceed twenty feet from the ground. The eggs number from four to six, and are pale bluish-white, much lighter than the eggs of the egrets. Season, May.”\n\n£6\n\nOn 23rd of June of this year one of the Chinese staff of the Hong Kong Botanical and Forestry Department found a nest which very probably was that of one of the three smaller Bitterns. Mr. F. Green, the Superintendent has kindly given me the original note which I quote here: Yellow stork, nest of bamboo leaves and grass, seven feet from the ground in a garden hedge. Bird said to be 8 inches in height, two eggs.' The eggs are broad regular ovals, white in colour and measure roughly 1/3 inches by 1 inch, which agrees fairly closely with the measurements given by Herbert.\n\nOur knowledge of the local bitterns is very scanty and this full account of the five species has been given in the hope of stimulating observers to look out for, identify, and make observations on these peculiarly interesting birds.\n\nI.\n\nREFERENCES.\n\n24 Bucknill, J.

In a room in a house close to Anopheline breeding places, catching was done for 27 nights; the average catch per night worked out at 2 Anophelines.\n\nIn the same locality, day catching between the hours of 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. for 67 days averaged 10 per day or 3 per hour, which were nearly all A. minimus. Dissections of Anophelines mosquitoes caught in January, February, and March revealed no infections. In April, there was 1 infection out of 139 dissected; in May, none; in June, 3 out of 304; in July, 46 out of 517. All these were A. minimus. In July, the sporozoite rate was 5%. Now, if 2 A. minimus can be caught in a bedroom every night during July, 62 would have been caught, and of these 62, 3 would have had sporozoites in their salivary glands and so be capable of infection whoever they bit, so that the chances of persons not protected by nets getting malaria during the months of high mosquito infection are by no means slight. Culicine biting pests have their uses by making people use mosquito nets, which they are inclined to dispense with if only a few non-obtrusive Anophelines are present, which are not very noticeable. The obtaining of Anophelines in quantity for dissections in this part of the world has not so far been found an easy task; those of A. minimus forming the great majority in both day and night catches.\n\nIf the blood of persons suffering from filarial infection is taken late in the evening or at night and examined under the microscope, it is often found swarming with little worms. If a mosquito feeds on such a person, these worms find their way into the insect's stomach and from thence to the muscles of its thorax, and undergo development there if the mosquito is a suitable host. From the thoracic muscles, the worms make their way through the neck into the head and finally come to rest in the proboscis. When the mosquito proceeds to bite a victim, the sheath opens, and the worms make their way through the end of it onto the skin and pass through the skin into the body, where they attain sexual maturity. The female gives rise to numerous embryos, which find their way into the blood and can be demonstrated there as already mentioned.\n\nThe worms in the mosquito are known as larval filaria; the adult worm in the human body as filaria; and the worm in the blood as microfilaria. In some parts of the world, filarial infection gives rise to Elephantiasis; in other parts, enlarged glands are a prominent feature; in others, affections of the genitals. There is a disease called heartworm in dogs, which, I understand, occurs in the Island. A mosquito said to be Culex fatigans is the vehicle by which this filarial infection is carried from one dog to another in a similar fashion to the human infection. Sir Patrick Manson discovered other species of filaria—Filaria corvi-torquati in the white-necked crow and Filaria perstans (possibly a typo, common name is Filaria pecemedia is not corrected as per rule 7) in a magpie. So, when one finds larval filarial infection in a Culicine or Anopheline mosquito, it does not always follow that the infection is derived from human sources. A. minimus has been found infected with larval filaria to the extent of 3.5% in an area where 13 out of 106 persons harboured microfilaria in their blood. Up to date, five A. minimus have been met with infected both with malaria and larval filaria.\n\nA Brief Account of Mosquitoes\n\n215\n\nEpidemics of Dengue take place from time to time in Hong Kong.\n\nIn many parts of the world, Aedes argenteus is considered to be the carrier. The infection cannot be demonstrated in the mosquito by means of a microscope as in the case of malarial infection or filarial infection. This mosquito is the great carrier of yellow fever. In Hong Kong, I have seldom encountered this insect, which is a small black and white mosquito with a lyre-shaped device on the back of its thorax, but Aedes albopictus, which closely resembles it, is very common. Aedes albopictus has a single white stripe on the back of the chest. It has been experimentally infected with dengue in the Philippines, and mosquitoes infected in Java by feeding on dengue patients have been kept alive and sent to Amsterdam, where they infected volunteers in that city.\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.\n\nDecember 1932.\n\n200", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-538-2 Hong Kong University 23-6-1932 - 15-3-1933.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 533213, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-538-2 Hong Kong University 23-6-1932 - 15-3-1933", "page_number": 187, "title": "CO129-538-2 Hong Kong University 23-6-1932 - 15-3-1933", "content_text": "278\n\nNotes Comments\n\n281\n\nORNITHOLOGY.\n\n[280]\n\nNOTES AND COMMENTS.\n\nEASTERN YELLOW WAGTAIL (Motacilla flava taivana).\n\nA female of this species, also known as the Chinese Green Wagtail, was identified on November 12th in the Ping Shan district. It was feeding in a stream-bed near a village in company with a number of White-faced and Streak-eyed Wagtails. This is the first occasion that we have recorded this species in the Colony. Prominent colours, head and back greenish-gray; upper tail coverts more heavily washed green, tail dusky, outer tail feathers white; wings gray; under parts rich yellow; and a prominent yellow eyebrow above a gray eye-streak.\n\nJAPANESE ROBIN FLYCATCHER (Siphia mujimaki).\n\nOn the afternoon of November 12th in the Ping Shan district, several of this species were observed and identified. First a solitary male was observed then later in the afternoon three or four other birds, always solitary, both males and females were noticed. Only once before has this species been recorded from the Colony, on that occasion a solitary male was seen March 19th of this year in the Shum Chun valley, vide H.K.N.

I lived some twenty years on Hong Kong Island and never heard the Koel, I then migrated to Tai Po and made the acquaintance of a bird which, for want of a better name I called the \"How-are-you bird,\" an attempt to put its monotonous repetition note into writing, there should be a slight accent on the \"are.\"\n\nI found afterwards it was the Indian Koel, Eudynamis honorata. The bird which I had always known as the \"Rainbird\" was a smaller bird, Cacomantis merulinus. In later years I have heard this latter bird called the \"Brain-fever Bird.\"\n\nI find support for the above view in an article published in 1926 by A. H. Crook in the \"Yellow Dragon.\"\n\nI believe the Kowloon Residents Association once \"logged the Rain Bird as a nuisance and that the suggestion was made that the Government should be called on to suppress it. If it had come to law the bird would probably have got off on the plea of mistaken identity.\n\nL. GIBBS.\n\nMr. L. Gibbs in his note on the confusion that exists through multiplicity of names for certain birds has raised a question which all of us would like to see satisfactorily answered. But who is to decide which name should be selected? The two chief works of reference which we use, -neither of which were written when the Hong Kong Naturalist was founded- ed, are:-La Touche \"A Handbook of the Birds of Eastern China\" Vol. I, published in parts, 1925-1930, Vol. II, part I May 1931 (containing the Cuculidae), and Caldwell “South China Birds\" 1931.\n\nIn La Touche Vol. I p. 149, for Copsychus saularis prosthopellus, Oberhsr, is given the English name, Chinese Dayal Bird; but later, \"The Magpie-Robin, Dayal Bird, or, as it is generally known in China, the Canton Robin.\"\n\nCaldwell, p. 80, also calls this bird the Chinese Dayal Bird and gives as synonyms, Magpie Robin and Canton Robin.\n\nThe Hawk Cuckoo, the Indian Cuckoo, the Indian Koel and the Brain-fever bird are four different birds.\n\nOf the Great Hawk Cuckoo Cuculus sparverioides, Vigors, Caldwell p. 240, writes \"No bird of the entire Cuckoo group has provoked so much conjecture and talk as has this bird. Weary travellers in some inn or chapel far back in the mountain have groaned out curses upon the loud calling bird seemingly just outside, which never tired of its monotonous song.\n\nSome people have questioned us about the bird which calls at night, often running the musical scale, always dropping back to take up the note again, but seeming never to tire. The call of the bird is a double noted \"Ter-da Ter-da,\"\n\nthe first two syllables uttered upon a lower pitch. During the period of egg laying the bird utters a loud guttural trill which resounds far and wide.\" \n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.\n\nNotes Comments\n\n285\n\nTouche Vol. II p. 46, calls the same bird the Large Hawk-Cuckoo, Hierococcyx sparveroides (Vigors) and writes of it \"Kershaw reports it as not uncommon in East Kwangtung during summer.\n\nDuring its passage, which takes place in May, it is commonly heard calling in the Chinkiang hills. The call, not unlike that of the Koel, is very loud and vociferous. Styan describes it as follows:-\"It has a peculiar note, which may be rendered by the syllables pee-pee-wa.' This is uttered first moderately loud in rather a low key; after a few seconds it is repeated louder and higher; again a pause and another call, and so in a crescendo scale until it ends in a piercing scream, after which the bird is silent for some minutes.\" As Styan writes, it is very difficult to locate the bird in thick cover, each call sounding as if the bird were approaching.\"\n\nThe Indian Cuckoo, Cuculus m. micropterus, Gould; Caldwell p. 238, writes:-\n\nThe call of the Indian Cuckoo is a series of four whistled notes, the first higher, the middle two on a lower tone, and the last lower. Another call is a shrill scolding “kieh-kieh.\" This cuckoo is not common in Fukien, though very common in Kwangtung.\" La Touche Vol. II, p. 46 writes \"While very common in Kwangtung, Rickett and I did not notice it at Foochow Neither was it observed at Shaweishan. It practically ranges throughout all South-Eastern Asia and all over India except in the extreme North-West and Sind\" (Baker).” \"The loud musical call may be heard at Chinkiang from the time of the bird's arrival. The four-note whistle \"Kwikwi-kwikwok \"is rendered by the peasants by the Chinese words “Ko mai, tsai yang\" (reap your corn and plant your rice) according to Père Courtois, Kwa kwa tsa ma (quick, quick, reap your wheat), or Kwa kwa tsoong Hwoo\" (quick, quick, plant the cotton) the Rev. Lacy L. Moffet (Common Birds of Yangtse Delta, Shanghai, 1912, p. 11).”\n\nThe Indian Koel, Eudynamis orientalis honorata (Linnaeus). Caldwell P. 242, writes\n\nThe incessant calling of the male of this species becomes a great nuisance in any community where a pair of the birds take up their abode for the summer. The untiring call of the bird readily identifies it. For hours during the day, and even long before daylight the monotonous \"gu-o gu-o gu-o,\" with accent on the latter syllable will be heard. The bird establishes a beat over which it travels during the day, uttering its loud call from the tree-tops.\n\nIn many communities the call of this bird is interpreted as an harbinger of evil. Great satisfaction was manifested by the populace in a walled city stricken by both cholera and bubonic plague when we killed a very noisy bird for study. The call of the bird seems to promise more rain, more flood, or more of any calamity abroad over the land.\" In Touche Vol. II p. 54 calls this same bird, The Chinese Koel, Eudynamis scolopaceus chinensis, Cab, and Heine. At Foochow it is only of late years that it has appeared, the first recorded having been obtained in June 1903 by Rickett. It is now quite common there, and lays its eggs, I believe, in the nests of the Black-necked Mynah. At Swatow, and in Kwangtung generally, it is very abundant. It arrives at Swatow in April, and remains to the end of September,' The bird on the East Coast frequents large trees in the vicinity of villages, and feeds largely on the banyan-figs and probably on other available fruit. It is also partly insectivorous according to Baker.

FORSTER, DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, HONG KONG UNIVERSITY\n\n292\n\nAccording to the latest available statistics there are 59 Universities in China, and these contain 33,847 students of whom only 3,500 are women. The growth in University life since 1912 has been phenomenal, and is a measure of the importance which the Chinese attach to these Institutions as centres for moulding and directing the energies of the nation along the new paths, which Western nations have indicated. There has been a kind of University fever as a first response to the infection caused by the Western scientific germ. To illustrate this growth in another way, there were in 1912, 229 university Teachers at work; in 1931 there were 5894 on the staffs of the various universities, and new institutions are still springing up or developing rapidly in Yunnanfu, Wuchang and Chungking.\n\nIn a report just issued by the League of Nations Mission of Educational Experts, and composed of Dr. C.H. Becker of Berlin, P. Langevin of Paris, M. Falske of Warsaw and R.H. Tawney of London, there is the following statement:- \"It is with the greatest satisfaction that we take this opportunity of recording at this point our strong sense of the educational progress made since the Revolution, and our admiration of the energy shown in coping with the difficulties by which progress has been impeded. China has been the victim for more than a generation of a combination of misfortunes on which it is needless for us to insist. To have maintained in the midst of civil disorder, international complications, sharp financial strains and the recurrent calamities of flood and drought, the conviction that the education of the rising generation is among the principal concerns of a civilised society, and to have laboured, as circumstances have allowed, to promote its development is an achievement of which not all western Governments have shown themselves capable.\"\n\nThis is the high tribute which these experts pay to the zeal and sincerity of those who are responsible for guiding the destiny of young China, and it is a tribute that must be endorsed by all who travel to the chief cities of China.\n\nBut the expansion of these new intellectual centres has been too rapid to allow for reasoned and orderly development, and the consequence has been considerable confusion, needless variety of work, unnecessary duplication of effort, and lack of unity and common purpose in the general university policy of the country.\n\nThe change over to the present system has been disturbing, for the higher education of China in the past consisted of a study of a definite body of work - the Classics. The student knew, and everyone else knew what was conveyed by the term 'scholar'; it was a perfectly comprehensible term and involved an understandable ideal which gave a narrow definite goal that all could aim at.\n\nThe enormous variety of western subjects, and their subdivision has created a state of things in higher learning in China to which there was no parallel in the past. Nor does the new learning grow slowly and laboriously out of the past, it is transplanted in the fulness of its variety from countries which have already gone through the proliferating process, amid social and intellectual conditions which permitted this natural tendency. The revolutionary mind of China which ever seeks to live in the week after next, naturally turns for its model to that country\n\n1.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-538-2 Hong Kong University 23-6-1932 - 15-3-1933.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 535267, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-541-11 Cheng Kwok Yau- trial judge's notes 1-1-1932 - 31-12-1932", "page_number": 154, "title": "CO129-541-11 Cheng Kwok Yau- trial judge's notes 1-1-1932 - 31-12-1932", "content_text": "16.8.32\n\n154\n\nto Blake Pier and took a bus with a double decker up Caine Road intending to get out near the Nethersole Hospital.

Two other nests were found at Tsun Wan during June. We have, this year, located several of their nests. The parents are very stupid at concealing them.

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. These birds will always utilise the same hole year after year if unmolested. The nest found at Tsun Wan was built in the same crevice as the one found there the previous year.\n\nBlack-naped Oriole, Oriolus chinensis diffusus Sharpe. Every year a pair nests at Ting Kau, behind the village at the 11th mile beach, Kowloon, and the young are invariably stolen by one or other of the village urchins. Visiting the place on June 5th, I saw a lad with a young golden oriole which was more dead than alive. 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.

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.

There is nothing left of it except the walls up to the 1st floor and in some parts these have been completely knocked down. There is no roof, no floors, and no staircase.\n\n(2) Queen's College received several direct hits both from bombs and shells and is merely a hole in the ground covered with rubble. Considering the rather unsuitable surroundings, I would advocate rebuilding it when opportunity permits on a new site, preferably in Kowloon, so that we may have a Government secondary school on each side of the Harbour.\n\n(3) Central British School is at present in use as a hospital but is in good shape and undamaged; so also are the Trade School, Northcote Training College, Wanchai School, Yaumati School, the Indian School and Un Long School. All other Government Schools have been completely looted of all woodwork, windows, doors, floors, staircases, and in cases where the roofs were of wood, these have gone too. In the absence of timber, repairs and replacements will take a long time. There is practically no furniture in any of the school buildings, and so far, we have only been able to trace desks for about 200 to 300 children.\n\n(4) In the case of the grant-aided schools, these have been occupied by their owners throughout the occupation and are all in working order except the French Convent School, which received two direct hits during the American bombing of a nearby Japanese Barracks. The school building is being surveyed by the Works Department, but repairs will be long and expensive. In this disaster, six of the Sisters and 50 children were killed. They have, however, opened in new premises and altogether 12 grant-aided schools have been in action since the 1st of October, with approximately 5,000 children in attendance. In addition, some 45 vernacular schools are also running with about the same number of pupils.\n\n(5) The Northcote Training College Library has been found almost intact in the University. The building itself has been used as a Japanese Military Training School, and the Biology Laboratory and workroom, art room, and Domestic Science room are completely gutted of equipment. There are no desks left. It will be necessary to replace the complete biology laboratory equipment with essential chemicals for a class of 24 students working individually. Any firm of chemical suppliers can estimate for this, and I suggest Baird & Tatlock, Becker or Gallenkamp for this purpose.\n\nIt cannot be reinstated here. 12 sets of tools for handwork including light metal work, together with book binding apparatus and loom, guillotine, for gem, lathes (one treadle one electric), and the general equipment for handwork will be necessary including metal sheets of copper, aluminium and silver. Mr. Davis, Handwork and Geography lecturer at the Northcote Training College, is now on his way home, and should be consulted as to replacements in both his subjects. He is a first-class man in his subjects, and I trust he will be able to come back again soon as possible.

He had just visited Lingnan University in Canton and found them anxious to assist us in any way possible. I told him that Hongkong would be helping us materially by taking some 25 or 30 of our former students as \"loan\" or \"transfer\" students, but that I was not in favor of the wholesale transference of our students and staff to Canton as a temporary measure in lieu of opening our own University here. Lingnan would like to use their University - 500 Chinese, 25 American and 25% external, and would release funds and staff from us to achieve the latter object. I told Admiral Harcourt that I thought an early revival of our own University most desirable, both from the point of view of British prestige in the Far East and also on account of the encouraging effect which this would have on the morale of the Colony. I gave him a copy of the letter and report which I had sent you by the hand of Mr. Hazlewood (not yet received), a copy of which he has already seen, and he asked me to see him again after Mr. Hazlewood's return. He also said that he would like to visit the University for himself.\n\nOn Monday last he did so, accompanied by D. J. Davis and myself.

I feel it is almost essential that you should be here to direct the early operations as there is no one else who has the necessary background and contacts.\n\nThe most pressing problem is staff. I do not know how many of the former staff will be returning. We need a registrar badly. Is Boxer coming back?

There has already been a falling off in the case of goods traffic for the closing months of the current year, but passenger traffic has been well maintained.\n\nRevenue from Land Sales etc.,\n\nThe estimate of $9,495,100 is $3,294,000 higher than the original estimate for 1950/51 and $393,057 higher than the revised estimate. The increase is largely due to additional interest payments amounting to some $2.4 million on the Colony's surplus balances.\n\nMiscellaneous Receipts.\n\nThe estimate of $10,325,100 is $2,535,100 higher than the original estimate for 1950/51 and $5,618,896 lower than the revised estimate. Receipts from royalties from transport companies reached a high level than was anticipated and, in addition to the usual population factor, the introduction of double-decker buses in Kowloon was to some extent instrumental in producing this result.\n\nThe revised estimate for the current year was also swollen by several abnormal receipts which will not be repeated. There were refunds in respect of weapons returned by the Defence Force and in respect of freight charges on requisitioned railway material which were met by this Government. There was also a substantial transfer to revenue in respect of stores which were originally believed to have been supplied by His Majesty's Government but which were subsequently found to have been charged to Hong Kong funds.\n\nColonial Development & Welfare Fund Grants.\n\nRevenue under this Head offsets the expenditure provided for under Head 5 in respect of schemes for which grants from the Colonial Development & Welfare Fund have been approved.\n\nLand Sales.\n\nThe estimate of $2,610,000 is $140,000 lower than the original estimate for 1950/51 and $1,742,469 lower than the revised estimate. It is anticipated that fewer sales of land will take place during 1951/52 than during the present year.\n\nExpenditure.\n\nExpenditure is estimated at $233,465,137. This represents a decrease of nearly $17 million as compared with the revised estimate for 1950/51 (which contained an abnormal item of $50 million loan advances charged off to expenditure), and an increase of a little over $32 million over the approved estimate for that year. This large increase over the approved expenditure figure for the current year occurs almost entirely under Other Charges and Special Expenditure, particularly under the latter, due to the necessity for a large number of re-votes owing to delays in the execution of orders. There are also some very large provisions which were not included in the current estimates.
