of the Saigon River (half-way to the town). They are said to be large enough to receive over 400,000 cases. The agents of Messrs. Samuel & Co., of London, have built two petro- leum tanks at Nhabé, at the point where the Saigon River flows into the Donnai. Thə largest of these is estimated to receive 2,300 cubic metres (81,190 cubic feet) of oil. There are (without reckoning the troops) over 8,000 Europeans and over 160,000 Asiatic s or natives.

The M.M. steamers call twice a month at Saigon on their homeward and outward trips. Easy communication is afforded with the principal towns of the territory either by subsidized mail steamers or railway. There is a railway with Mytho, Bien Hoa and beyond, and with Hoe Mon and Laithien. The bridge of Binh-Loi was inaugurated on the 8th of March, 1902, over the river of Saigon, putting in direct communication the two rives des fleurs. It is a swing bridge and is of a total length of 276 mêtres, supported by 6 piles (en maçonnerie et à 2-culées),

All the principal towns of Cochin-China possess telegraphic and telephonic communication, and a submarine cable unites the Colony with Singapore, Haiphong, Hongkong, Amoy, etc., The Wireless Station, situated in the village of Phu-To, between Saigon and Cholon, is one of the most important in the Far East and communicates directly with Paris. The postal organization of the Colony is very complete and efficient; correspondence can be sent daily to almost all parts of the country.
