"These, together with the current maps and plans, illustrate the

fascinating changes and immense development which have taken place in the

history of Hong Kong," he said.

The spokesman said a section of the exhibition will be devoted

to the illustration of modern cartographic techniques now being employed

by the Crown Lands & Syrvey Office in map production.

Various maps specially designed for tourists, geologists, picnickers,

navigators, etc. will be exhibited, he added.

"There will also be an introduction to a survey camera, newly

acquired by our office, with photographs showing how this valuable piece

of equipment is used for mapping," the spokesman said.

Some of the popular maps on display at the exhibition will be on

sale at the exhibition hall.

Note to Editors:

You are cordially invited to have the opening ceremony of the exhibition covered.

Copies of the pamphlet giving details about the exhibitions are distributed separately in the G.I.S. Press Boxes this evening.
