Of the Directory lists in general little re quires to be said excepting that they have m dergone the necessary revision and the de-crip. tions and trade statisties of the various ports T. fire msurance have been brought up to date, so far at least as. in the case of statistics, the latest offi›ish res turns will permit. Perhaps the most notable addition to the firm in Clana is the Tikun Dockyard and Engineering Cu of along cong imited. The dock, which has been in course of construction at Quarry Bay during the past | four or five yea18, is now practically e mpleted | and the firm will son be ready to business. A description of the Dockyard given on page 941 refers to the Dork as ! Jan. 1. 1907 the largest out of England, and the par. ticulars given show that this Company is equipping the dock not on y for repair work but for building passenger and cargo ships, - 16 - rge fee- turbine steaners, torpedo destroyers, and other craft,
Among the additions to the Chronicle rtion of the book may he mentioned the 'na and Japan (Amendment Order in Council 19 7 the Russo-Japanese Railway Conventions 19 7; the Treaty between Frauc and Siam, 2007; the new Arrangements between Great Brita n and Russia to respect the teritorial i .t.grity of Tib-t; the new tables of Consular and Marriage Fees to be taken in China and Corca, and the Imperial Chinese p s'il far:ff.
A Loulou contemporary reviewing last year's edition remarked that the printing and binding were worthy of a first-eges London House, Of the present edition we may sy there has been no falling off in that respect. It only Demaios to be said that the pri» is S - heretofore, viz. 81d for the complete and $6 for the abridged edition, and the bark is EAC procurable in all the ports which this compres hensive volume embrace, from Vladivostork 1- Netherlands India.
