THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, MAY 31, 1918.

NOTE (2). Where a person or firm mentioned in the list has more than one address in the country or group of countries under which the name of the person or firm appears, all dealings in that country, or in any country in the group, with such person or firm are prohibited, even in cases where one only of the addresses or one only of the countries is specifically mentioned.

NOTE (3).--Under the Trading with the Enemy Proclamations of the 25th June, and 10th November, 1915, all Proclamations relating to Trading with the Enemy apply to all persons or bodies of persons of enemy nationality, resident or carrying on business in China, Siam, Persia, Morocco, Liberia or Portuguese East Africa, and consequently it is an offence to trade with any person or body of persons of enemy nationality resident or carrying on business in China, Siam, Persia, Morocco, Liberia or Portuguese East Africa, even though such person or body of persons is not included by name in the Statutory List, and the omission of the name of any such person or body of persons from such list is not an authority or licence to trade with such person or body of persons.

NOTE (4).The above additions and removals were made in the United Kingdom on the dates which appear opposite to the respective names.

NOTE (5).-A consolidating statutory list, complete to the 4th January, 1918, may be obtained from the Government Printers, Messrs. Noronha & Co., No. 14A, Des Voeux Road Central, who can also supply copies of the Orders in Council made since that date. The Consolidating Statutory list contains on page 10, a list of all the Orders in Council up to and including the 4th January, 1918. The dates of the subsequent Orders in Council are as follows:-

"

25th January, 1918. 22nd February, 1918.

8th March, 1918.

23rd May, 1918. 31st May, 1918.

NOTE (6).It is not unusual for firms in Holland and the Netherland East Indies to be regis- tered under namnes commencing with descriptive terms such as "Handel Maatschappy" (Trading Company) or Naamlooze Venootschap" (Limited Liability Company). In such cases it has been found more convenient to publish the firm under its proper name, followed by the general descriptive term "Handel Maatschappy' or "Naamlooze Venpotschap" (N.V.), as in the case of an English company. For instance, Handel Maatschappy Louvre and Naamlooze Venootschap de Komeet v/h Dunionceau Frères will be found under Louvre and Komest respectively, and not necessarily under

Handel" or "Naamlooze," though cross references may be given.
