In the New Terri- tories, there are only two localities in which an artesian flow of any consequence is at all possible, and even in these there are other fac tors that would render such a pa- sible flow of little value except at low levels in their immediate vicinity. The localities referred in are (1) the valley north of the Pat Sin range between Fan Ling and Sha Tau Kok, and (2) the valley that forms the northerly ex tension of Castle Peak Bay, be tween Castle Peak Farm and Cheung Kong Wal. In both cases the flow, if encountered, would not be large, and could only be tapped near the valley floors, from which it would have to be transported by pumping.

A portion of the report is de- vated to lithology and structure, dealing with events prior and sub- sequent to the "period of mout tain building in which the rocks were buckled and uplifted into a series of north-easterly trending hills, which no doubt extended over the entire colony."

Reference is also made to a sinking of the land surface and an extensive and long-continued period of volcanic extrusion and consequent sedimentation, Up- wards "of 2,000 feet of volcanic sediments, agglomerates, brecias, ash, tuffaceous sandstone, with lavas, accumulated both on the land surface, and in the sea-bottom, constituting what Is-here callod
