This notice, issued yesterday, was algned by the Harbour Master, the Hon. Commdr. G. F. Hole, R. N.

I will be recalled that another notice issued by the Harbour Master on June 28 was to the el fect that "boring operations of the harbour bottom on a ne joining the seaward end of Queen's Pier and the position of the intersection of the centre line of Nathan Road in the Kowloon sea-front would commence on July 4, 1929." These borings have been completed.

Strange Fish Encountered. Divers who have been at work on the Harbour bottom relata various strange experiences at depths. For the most part the centre of the harbour, which aver ages something like 75 feet deep, is a hard sandy bottom but toward the sides a great quantity of mud is found.

Some days ago one of the divera came

across some extraordinary specimens of marine life. In re-. latively clear water he noticed what appeared to be some specles" of murine vegetation and at first paid little nttition to it. Later he was surprised to see what he took to be a Fort of submarine fern move from the spot where he was working. It was seen actually to walk on what were apparently roots-long served as protuberances which tentacles for the pseudo plant to attach itself to different.objects.

Noticing that it moved very slowly he kept it in sight and when ready to come to the surface deter- mined to carry it with him. Ile easily detached it and brought it to the surface and found it to be in reality a fish of the mudfish variety.

(e) "Cream Line" is a false and

A poor method of ascertain- ing the quality or richness of milk, for instance a long and narrow neck of a bottlo will exaggerate the cream line.
