Land Branch.-Application has been made to the Colonial Office for a properly qualified Surveyor to conduct the work of this branch. At present, the duties are carried on by Mr. KING, Land Bailiff.

The work is of a responsible nature, involving at times troublesome questions, and it is necessary that it should be under qualified supervision. Mr. KING's duties are, of course, confined purely to office work, as he has no knowledge of surveying.

The surveying is perforined by Mr. JACOB, who appears to be a capable man, but, as he is a native of India and has not full command of the English language, he is not qualified to assume charge of the work. I consider him fitted to act as an assistant.

Mr. GREY, a surveyor who was appointed locally, is at present exclusively enga- ged in surveys connected with the New Territory for the Land Court.

Two tracers, TANG NGOK WAN and WENG A FAT, are employed in connection with land survey work, preparing sale and lease plans, and keeping the plans and records up to date.
