Mr. Cheng Kam-fai again took charge of the Chinese Staff. This is the fourth Census in which he has done so. He was invaluable to me and did his work to my entire satis- faction. The compilation of some of the larger Tables, such as Occupations and Birth Places was so complicated a matter, that without the assistance of such an experienced man, I should have had very great difficulty in bringing it to a successful finish.

Mr. Ch'an Tang-chiù, who was the English Interpreter, also did excellent work.

45. No Census of the Royal Navy or Garrison was taken locally.

The returns from H.M. ships on the Station, and from the local Naval Establish- ments were sent to England to be included in the Census of the United Kingdom. This was also the case with the British troops in garrison. About half the Indian troops had already been enumerated in India. Returns for the remainder were obtained by me, and sent to the Indian Census Officer, together with a detailed report on the local Indian com- munity.

46. The total cost of the Census was $9,115.

47. A room at the Old Supreme Court, vacated by Messrs. Dennys and Bowley, was used as a Census Office. It suited the purpose very well. There was seating room for 20 clerks. This is as large a number as can be properly supervised by one man.

48. No trouble whatever was experienced by the Enumerators with the inhabitants either in Hongkong or the New Territories. In the latter, the people had been previously notified as to what was going to take place, and what a Census was.
