(i) Hong Kong:—

In Victoria 18 No. bench marks were inspected before plotting on Survey Sheets. Spot levels from bench mark No. 119 Secretariat Building to Queen's Road Central were taken for the Tunnels Section of the Department. New staple bench marks No. 6A Tung Lo Wan Road and No. 84A at Peak Road-Garden Road junction were fixed and valued and two plans were prepared for the Town Planning Officer showing spot levels at East Point Hill and at Wyndham Street-Wellington Street. In addition, the height of Stanley College Minor Trig. No. 139 was checked and Colony coordinates of Fundamental bench mark "M" Stanley were computed.

(ii) Kowloon and New Kowloon :--

Bench Mark No. 75A was valued for height against removal of No. 75 and a new B.M. at Kun Tong was fixed and valued against possible removal of B.M. No. 80 on Tin Hau Temple. A plan was also prepared for the Town Planning Officer showing spot levels taken over an area near Kowloon City.

(iii) New Territories: -

Spot levels along main road traverses were taken on Fanling Road from milestone 38 to 34 and on Castle Peak Road from milestone 14 to 12. A new staple B.M. No. 2A Castle Peak Bay was fixed and valued. New B.M. milestones 10, 13 and 14 were fixed and valued, a revised height of B.M. milestone 34 Kam Tsin was established, and the height of Main Trig. No. 23 Kam Tsin was found by levelling from milestone 34. The height of Minor trig. R.26 Castle Peak Bay was checked by traverse from B.M. No. 2A.
