rived in Ceylon and visited various parts of the Island with a view to finding suitable sites for the establishment of an alrship base. They have submitted their report to this Government in which it is stated that they have investigated certain areas of land in various districts and have selected sites at (1) Puttalam, (2) Chilaw, (3) Negombo, (4) Angulana, and (5) Ambulanota, which they consider contain the necessary require- ments essential for such a base. They are, however, unable to make a final selection until certain addi- tional meteorological data are available..

In view of the fact that the establishment of an airship base in Ceylon will not only serve the Island but will also serve to re- fuel ships en route to various. parts of the Empire, it is proposed to undertake the necessary addi- tional meteorological observations. For this purpose more up-to-date instruments will be required in addition to the employment of ob servers for four new observation stations.

Estimated Cost,

The cost of this undertaking is estimated as follows:-
