This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese char cters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

MEMORANDUM ON THE USE OF DISINFECTANTS AND DEODORANTS IN THE VARIOUS GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS OF THE COLONY.

Disinfection and Deodorisation. For practical purposes it is preferable to limit the meaning of the word Disinfection to the destruction of infectious disease germs, and to use the term Deodorisation when referring to the removal or destruction of foul odours. It is in the sense of deodorisers that the bulk of the so-called disinfectants are used by most of the Government Departments.

Disinfection.-Except in Hospitals; all rooms, clothing, bedding, &c., &c., used by persons suffering from any infectious disease should be properly disinfected under the Superintendence of the Sanitary Staff.

Deodorisation. The real remedy for foul odours is thorough cleanliness and the speedy removal and destruction of all dead putrescible matter. When, owing to the presence of putrescent matter, foul odours exist, chemical deodorants are beyond doubt of great value, but it by no means follows that in all cases of bad smells the free use of such deodorants is the best thing to do. On the contrary, the cause of the foul odours should be searched for and, if possible, steps taken to prevent their formation. This fact should be constantly borne in mind by those Officers who superintend the use of disinfectants, i.e. deodorants, in their respective Departments.

Disinfection of Rooms.--All openings should be carefully closed, and a tub of boiling water placed in the middle of the room. After half an hour the water should be removed and the room filled with either Sulphurous Acid, Nitrous Acid, or Chlorine gas, and left closed for from twelve to twenty- four hours. The doors and windows should then be thrown open, the walls and ceilings lime-washed, and all woodwork well scrubbed with carbolised soft soap and water.

Disinfection of Clothing, Bedding, Sc.-This is best done by heat in a proper disinfecting chamber. In the absence of a disinfecting chamber boil the articles for some time in a two per cent. solution of Carbolic Acid, to which some ordinary washing soda has been added.

Disinfection of infected excreta.-Sir WM. BURNETT'S Disinfecting Fluid should be freely used, preferably in its concentrated condition, but it may be diluted with one or two volumes of water.

The charcoal should be removed every third or fourth day, and care taken to keep it dry.

REPORT OF THE COURT OF DIRECTORS

TO THE

ORDINARY HALF-YEARLY GENERAL MEETING

SHAREHOLDERS

TO BE HELD

AT THE CITY HALL, HONGKONG, On Thursday, the 28th February, 1884, AT 3 P.M.

To the Proprietors of the

HONGKONG & SHANGHAI BANKING CORPORATION.

GENTLEMEN,

The Directors have now to submit to you a General Statement of the affairs of the Bank, and Balance Sheet for the half-year ending 31st December last.

The net profits for that period, including $52,509.62 brought forward from last account, after paying all charges, deducting interest paid and due, making provision for bad and doubtful debts, amount to $791,851.95, of which, after taking out rebate on Bills not yet due, and remuneration to Directors, there remains for appropriation $780,372.50.

From this sum, the Directors recommend the payment of a Dividend of Two Pounds Sterling per Share, on the old Shares, and One Pound and Five Shillings per Share, on the new Shares, which will absorb $466,666.67.

The difference in Exchange between 4/6, the rate at which the Dividend is declared, and 3/8, the current rate of the day amounts to $106,000.60.

The Directors propose placing $100,000 to the Reserve for equalization of Dividends Ac- count, and Writing off Bank Premises $50,000.

The Balance $57,645.23 to be brought for- ward to the credit of new Profit and Loss Account.

DIRECTORS.

Mr. H. L. DALRYMPLE, Mr. F. D. SASSOON, and Mr. A. P. MCEWEN retire in rotation, and being eligible for re-election offer themselves accordingly.

Mr. A. P. MCEWEN has been appointed Chairman for 1884 and Mr. F. D. SASSOON, Vice-Chairman, subject to their re-election.

Mr. H. HOPPIUS and Mr. WM. REINERS having left the Colony their places have been supplied by Mr. A. GULTzów and Mr. M. GROTE: these appointments require the con- firmation of the Meeting.

AUDITORS.

The Accounts have been audited by the Hon. PHINEAS RYRIE and Mr. FULLARTON HENDERSON; and the Court recommend the re-election of these gentlemen as Auditors for the year 1884.

A. P. MCEWEN, Chairman.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in according to the sounds .of the oldest dialect of practical use, and while alphabetically arranged China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

The following report from the Government Astronomer, for the month of January, 1884, is published for general information.

By Command,

HONGKONG OBSERVATORY.

Weather Report for January, 1884.

In the China Coast Meteorological Register,-based on information transmitted by the Great Northern and the Eastern Extension Telegraph Companies,-which I have published daily, is given a summary of the atmospheric circumstances in Manila and along the Coast of China as far north as Shanghai.

At the beginning of the month the Barometer stood at about its mean height in these regions. It registered lowest in Manila, increasing towards NW., highest in Shanghai. Fresh NE. breezes indicated by the Gradients prevailed here. The sky was overcast but the atmosphere dry. The wind diminished in force up to the 4th when it died out, and the sky cleared, the Temperature and the Absolute Humidity at the same time reaching a Maximum. The Barometer was rising steadily up the 8th, when it attained its Maximum, a light E. breeze continuing. The Barometer had not risen quite so much at the Eastern Stations, so that the Gradients then corresponded to N. Winds, which were registered here on the 8th and 9th, the Temperature and the Humidity at the same time falling to their Minima. On the 10th the Barometer began to fall, and the Temperature and Humidity to rise at all stations. The sky became overcast with the R-Cum. clouds characteristic of the season. Gradients for strong E. Winds were followed by a moderate ENE. gale on the 11th, which was not however, of long duration, as it went down to a dead calm with a partly clear sky next day. The following days light E. breezes prevailed. On the 15th the Barometer fell in Manila and rose to 30.4 in Shanghai, and the E. Wind increased to a moderate gale here. From the 16th to the 20th the Baro- meter here, and the Gradients in these regions, continued about the average accompanied by moderate E. breezes and great Relative Humidity with generally a clear sky. On the 18th the Barometer rose in the West and fell in the East. Gradients corresponded to N. Winds and the Humidity again decreased. Cold weather set in at Shanghai, where the Temperature had been hitherto comparatively high. On the 20th a moderate E. gale was felt here, the Barometer having continued to rise in Shanghai. Subsequently the Barometer continued to fall till the end of the month. The Temperature and Humidity increased, and the sky was generally overcast with Cum. or R-cum. clouds. Light or moderate E. breezes prevailed. The Temperature rose again in Shanghai on the 21st. The Barometer was then higher in the South than in the North, with light Winds from various directions along the Coast. But it rose again at Shanghai the 24th, and the E. Wind freshened but did not here exceed a fresh breeze (on the 27th). Subsequently atmospheric circumstances were about normal till the 31st, when the Barometer rose, along the Coast and the E. Wind freshened with greater Relative Humidity.

The building of the Observatory was so far advanced by the 1st of January, that it was found possible to fix the Standard Barometer in the Instrument Room and to put up a Stephenson Screen, as well as stands for Radiation Thermometers, at a distance of about 75 feet SW. of the main building, but the Thermometers are placed over dry carth, as the levelled ground round the Observatory has not yet been turfed. The Barometer is placed 110 feet above Mean Sea Level, as determined by the Officers of the Surveyor General's Department. The bulbs of the Thermometers are about 109 feet above Mean Sea Level and 4 feet above the ground, except the Maximum Thermometer, which is a few inches higher, and the Terrestrial Radiation Thermometer, which is about one inch above the ground.

The Self-recording Instruments are not yet erected, as their places are not ready.--

The Lighthouse-keepers at Cape d'Aguilar and Green Island, as well as the Signal-man at Victoria Peak received in December last orders from Captain THOMSETT, R.N., Harbour Master, etc., to make Meteorological Observations according to my directions, from the 1st January, and I lost no time in giving them instructions and fitting up their Instruments.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 23RD FEB., 1884.

At Victoria Peak, the Instruments, except the Radiation Thermometers, are placed in the Look-out. The Barometer is about 1823 feet above Sea Level. The bulbs of tlre Thermometers are about 4 feet above the floor, except the Maximum and the Terrestrial Radiation Thermometers, which are placed at the same height above the ground as at the Observatory.

At Cape d'Aguilar, the Thermometers are placed about 170 feet above Sea Level in a wooden screen 2 feet above the ground, except the Maximum Thermometer, which is a few inches higher.

No Instruments are used at Green Island.

Table I exhibits the readings of the Barometer reduced to 32°.0 Fahrenheit, but not to Sea Level, at the Observatory and at Victoria Peak.

The Mean Height of the Barometer at the Observatory was 30.093, and at the Peak 28.302 inches. The atmospheric tide can scarcely have appreciably exceeded 0.101 at the Observatory. The Baro- meter at the Peak was not read off with sufficient accuracy and is not sensitive enough for determining the atmospheric tide at that altitude. The highest reading of the Barometer registered at the Obser- vatory was 30.356 at 10 a., on the 8th and at the Peak 28.481 at 10 p., on the same day. The lowest reading was 29.856 at 4 p., on the 29th at the Observatory, and 28.116 at 4 p., on the 30th at the Peak.

Table II and Table III exhibit the readings of the Thermometers (Fahrenheit) at the Observa- tory, Cape d'Aguilar and the Peak. The Radiation Thermometers had not been fixed at the Peak.

The Mean Temperature during the month was 62.4 at the Observatory, 61.4 at Cape d'Aguilar and 55.5 at Victoria Peak. The 29th was the hottest day, when the Temperature rose to 75.7.at the Observatory, 72.8 at Cape d'Aguilar and 69.1 at the Peak. The 9th was the coldest day, when the Temperature fell to 46.7 at the Observatory, 48.6 at Cape d'Aguilar and 38.0 at the Peak.

The Mean Temperature in Hongkong decreased one degree Fahrenheit for every 280 feet ascended. Table IV exhibits the Relative Humidity in percentage of saturation (the Humidity of air satur- ated with moisture being 100) as determined from observations of the Dry and Damp Bulb Thermo- meters. The Mean Relative Humidity at the Observatory was 76, at Cape d'Aguilar 874, at the Peak 87. The Least Relative Humidity registered at the Observatory was 34 at 4 p., on the 9th, at Cape d'Aguilar 38 at 10 p., on the 8th, at the Peak 37 at 10 p., on the same day.

Table V exhibits the Tension of the Aqueous Vapour present in the Atmosphere at the Observa- tory and at Victoria Peak, expressed in inches of mercury. The Mean Tension was 0.443 inches at the Observatory, 0.404 at the Peak. The Greatest Tension registered was 0.589 at 4 p., on the 24th at the Observatory, and 0.546 at 10 a., on the same day at the Peak. The Least Tension was 0.142 at 10 p., on the 8th at the Observatory, 0.124 at the same time at the Peak.

These figures show that the Tension decreased with the altitude of the Observer in Hongkong. Table VI exhibits the Direction (to two points) and Force of the Wind (0-12), and Sea Disturb- ance (0-9). The portion of the register, that refers to 4 a., as well as the Sea Disturbance registered at the other hours, has been derived from observations made at the Lighthouses.

The Mean Direction of the Wind at 4 a., is registered as NE. At the other hours; from observations made at the Observatory, as E. But I am inclined to think, that the former Direction is vitiated from want of experience of the Observers. The Mean Force of the Wind was 3.0 correspond- ing to a velocity of 18 miles per hour. The Force of the Wind was greater during the night than during the day.

Table VII exhibits the Direction and Force of the Wind at Victoria Peak. The Mean Direction is E. and the Mean Force 4.0 corresponding to a velocity of 23 miles per hour.

Table VIII exhibits the Amount, Name and Direction whence coming, of the Clouds. When the Names of Upper and Lower Clouds are given, but only one Direction, this refers to the Lower Clouds. The Mean Direction of the Lower Clouds was E. The Mean Direction of the Upper Clouds cannot be stated, as their heights are so very different, but the observations clearly prove the existence of an upper counter-current from W. On an average 62 per cent of the sky was clouded. The Nebulosity was greater during the night than during the day.

No measurable quantity of Rain fell during the month at the Observatory.-Drizzling Rain fell the 1st at 4 a., the 2nd at 10 p.; the 10th at 4 p., the 13th at 10 p., the 25th occasionally during the afternoon and at 10 p.. the 30th at 1 a., 10a ., 4 p., and 10 p.,-Duration about 8 hours, the 31st for 2 hours during the afternoon.-The total Duration of Drizzling Rain is estimated at 17 hours.

Fog prevailed extensively at Cape d'Aguilar and at the Peak. No Fog was registered at the Observatory, but the horizon was generally seen more or less hazy.

Heavy Dew fell at the Observatory during the night between the 16th and the 17th, and a Rain- bow was seen on the 13th at 5 p.

HONGKONG, OBSERVATORY,

12th February, 1884.

SIR,-Having devoted a part of my time last autumn in studying past records of the weather kept by Officers of the Harbour Department, I have the honour to submit the accompanying account of the average direction and force of the wind at Victoria Peak.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

The Honourable The COLONIAL SECRETARY,

W. DOBERCK,

Government Astronomer.

On the Mean Direction and Force of the Wind at Victoria Peak.

The Direction and Force of the Wind at Victoria Peak are estimated at different equidistant hours during the day, but no records are kept during the night. The following results are therefore not free from the influence of the diurnal variation of the Wind, but it is to be expected that that influence will be found to be comparatively insignificant.

The Mean Direction and Force (0-12) for each day was taken, and Table I exhibits the number of days during each month in three years, when the wind blew from each Direction.

Hongkong is situated within the region of the North-East Trade, which farther out in the Pacific reigns supreme all the year round, but under the influence of the Asiatic Continent an annual variation of the Direction of the Wind originates. During the Winter the Direction of the Monsoon coincides with that of the Trade, and we find from Table II, that during seven months of the year (from September to March incl.) the Mean Direction of the Wind is from East or North of East. During the other five months the Direction is South of East, but the Easterly Direction predominates · over the Westerly, except during one month, August, when the Direction is South by West. It is therefore obvious that there does not at any time of the year reign a South-West Monsoon at Hongkong, such as there does in india. But although the power of the North-East Trade is generally superior to its antagonist, the South-West Monsoon, the latter, whenever its pent up energy causes an instable equilibrium, is capable of making a furions resistance, such as is witnessed in the Typhoons, but even these, powerful as they are, must yield to the trade and recede towards the West except during a few Summer months, when the Mean Direction of the Wind is Southerly, as shown in Table 11. Then they follow a track towards the North, till they reach the regions, which lie North of the Trade, where the Direction of the Wind is from South-West.

Table III exhibits the average Force of the Wind (0-12) from different points of the Compass during three years and the mean result of the three years. The superior Force of the East Wind, whose superior Frequency was seen from Table II, is here seen at a glance. The exceptionally small Force of the West North West Wind is due to the sheltering influence of the Continent:-

The following Table exhibits the Mean Force of the Wind, without reference to Direction, during the different months of the year. It appears, that the Force of the Wind is somewhat greater in Autumn than Spring. This is no doubt due to the Typhoons.

The cause of the apparently progressive Mean Annual Force of the Wind, as exhibited at the bottom of the Table, I am unable to trace. It therefore remains to be investigated whether this is connected with the cleven-yearly Sunspot-period, or whether it is due to some other agency :-

In exercise of the powers in me vested as Governor aforesaid, I, Sir GEORGE FERGUSON Bowen, do creby proclaim that a Session of the Legislative Council of Hongkong shall commence and be holden or the despatch of business on Thursday, the 28th day of February, 1884, at the hour of four o'clock n the afternoon, in the Legislative Council Chamber, in the City of Victoria, within the said Colony; nd the Members of the Legislative Council are hereby required to give their attendance at the said ime and place accordingly.

Given under my hand and the public seal of the Colony, at Government House, this 26th day of February, 1884.

By Command,

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!

W. H. MARSH,

Colonial Secretary.

His Excellency the Governor came into the Council Chamber, and having desired the Honourable Members to be seated, was pleased to speak as follows:-

HONOURABLE GENTLEMEN OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL,

1. It is with feelings of much pleasure and interest that I now open the first Session of the re- constituted Legislature of Hongkong, and have recourse to your advice and assistance in the adminis- tration of the Government.

2. It will always be one of the most satisfactory reminiscences of my long public career that I have been able to procure a more adequate representation in this Council of the community at large. I am confident that the Government will derive valuable aid from the local knowledge and experience of the Unofficial Members, and I also believe that you will all agree with me that there neither is, nor ought to.be, any antagonism between the Official and the Unofficial element in this Legislature. All the Members alike can have no other object but to secure the general welfare, and to advance the progress of the Colony.

3. For obvious reasons, it is in the highest degree important that this Council should adhere to the constitutional forms followed by the Legislatures of the other principal Crown Colonies. The address of the Governor at the opening of each annual session will contain, here as elsewhere, a general view of the financial and social condition of the Colony, and a statement of the Legislative and other measures, and of the public works proposed. So the address of the Council in reply will afford the Members of the Legislature the usual constitutional opportunity of expressing their opinion of the conduct and proposals of the Government.

4. Further, in accordance with the practice elsewhere, I recommend you to appoint a Committee of Finance (which should be a Committee of the whole Council), a Committee of Laws, and a Committee of Public Works, which should respectively examine in the first instance the details of every proposed vote and measure.

5. After this brief explanatory preface, I will proceed to state generally the principal subjects to which your attention will be directed during the present Session. Full details will be found in the papers which will be laid before you, and in the statements of the several Heads of Departments.

6. In the first place, with regard to the paramount question of Finance, it is very gratifying to be able to inform you that our position is satisfactory. The Revenue of the year 1883 amounted to $1,286,500; and the Ordinary Expenditure to $1,165,700; leaving an excess of revenue over Ordinary Expenditure of $120,800. The Extraordinary Expenditure of 1883 was defrayed from the accu- mulated Balances, and included the

Tai-tam Water Works,

.$90,966

Break-water,

22,510

Causeway Bay Reclamation,

9,000

Purchase of Houses and Land for the New Central Market, Sanitary Works,

21,000

30,483

Total,......

.$173,959

The Estimated Balance to the credit of the Colony on the 31st December, 1883, was $1,095,505. 7. Hongkong is probably the only State or Colony of importance which at the present day is not only without a Public Debt, but which possesses invested Assets nearly equal to its annual revenue. However, the existing Balances will not be sufficient to carry out several Public Works which are urgently required by this Community, in addition to those "strong and complete measures of sanita- tion" which Mr. CHADWICK (the Civil Engineer recently sent out from England) has reported to be absolutely necessary "for the immediate benefit of the public health." Under these circumstances,

102

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1ST MARCH, 1881.

concur with the Executive Council in what appears to be the general opinion of the Colony, viz., that the present generation of Colonists ought not to be deprived of the advantages referred to, while it cannot of course be expected to defray the entire cost of works of a permanent and reproductive character; and that, consequently, it will be expedient to raise, on the exhaustion of the existing assets, a moderate loan, not much exceeding the revenue of a single year. This question will not have to be decided in its details during the present Session; but I desire to elicit the opinion of the Council on the principle involved.

8. The Estimates for 1884 have been already voted. The Estimates for 1885 will be laid before you in next November; which seems to be the most generally convenient period for the opening of the annual Session.

9. With regard to Legislative measures;-The following Ordinances, among others, have already become law since I assumed this Government in the spring of last year, viz.: Ordinances to provide for the better Regulation of Vehicles and Public Traffic; To organise the construction of certain lines of Tramways; To constitute a Sanitary Board; To amend the Merchant Shipping Law and provide for the enforcement of Quarantine; To continue the operation of the French Mail Steamers Ordinance; To authorise the construction of certain Piers and Wharves. The principal Bills which will be laid before you during the present session will be the following:---

(1.) To regulate Weights and Measures.

2.) To consolidate and amend the Ordinances relating to Opium. 3.) To establish a Savings Bank.

4.) To consolidate and amend the laws relating to Stamp Duties. 5.) To provide for the Registration of Medical Practitioners.

6.) To regulate Prisons and Prisons Discipline.

7.) To amend the Dangerous Goods' Ordinance, 1873.

8.) To amend the Preservation of Birds' Ordinance, 1870.

9.) To amend certain Ordinances relating to Criminal Procedure.

10.) To amend the law relating to the punishment of criminals.

(11.) To amend the Bankruptcy Ordinance of 1864.

(12.) To regulate the Post Office and Postal Service.

(13.) To amend Ordinance No. 10 of 1867.

(14.) To provide for the more effectual protection of Chinese female children.

10. The report of the Commission on Smuggling; and an able and exhaustive memorandum by Mr. Justice RUSSELL on the so-called Blockade of Hongkong by Chinese Revenue Cruisers are recom- mended to your attention. I have discussed this important question with the present British Minister at Peking, who will, I am confident, lend his aid towards carrying out an equitable settlement.

11. Turning to the vital subject of the Public Health, I am glad to inform you that the recent organisation of a Government Sanitary Board under Ordinance No. 7 of 1883, and the promulgation of new Rules and Regulations under that Ordinance, together with the introduction of improved contracts for the removal and disposal of waste products, have been followed by a marked improvement in the practical sanitation of the Colony. Much however remains to be done, both in respect of egislation and of structural sanitary work; but I am confident that the necessary reforms and improvements will in due course be effected by the zeal and ability of the officers to whom this branch of the Public Service has been entrusted, and by the cheerful acquiescence of all classes of our population in such measures and restrictions for the safety of the Public Health as may, with your assistance, become law. In this connection, Bills are in course of preparation to amend and consolidate the laws relating to the Public Health; to amend the Building Ordinance No. 8 of 1856; to regulate the Water supply, and to prevent waste. Owing however to the large and comprehensive nature of these Bills, no less than to the probable necessity of referring certain technical points to scientific authorities in England, it is possible that there may not be time for their full consideration during the present session. In this event, they will form the subject of your first deliberations in the next session. In the meantime, however, the carrying out of such works as were deemed of immediate importance to the Public Health has been sanctioned. These works, which are either in progress or in course of immediate initiation, include, among others, the Reclamation of unhealthy tidal lands at Yau-ma-Ti and Causeway Bay; Extensions and improvements of the existing system of sewers in this city; the construction of a new Central Market; the erection of a permanent Lazaretto on Stone Cutters' Island; the systematic dredging of the noxious foreshore along the Praya by means of steam machinery; and the general Sanitation of the villages in the Colony.

12. In connection with Sanitary Reform, the serious question of increased house accommodation for the population of Victoria is now engaging the attention of my Government. While every succeed- ing census has revealed a great increase in the population, there has not been a corresponding increase in the number of human habitations. Overcrowding in its worst form has consequently been the result; and the prevention of this evil will be dealt with in the proposed new Public Health Ordinance. However, as the true remedy is to be found chiefly in increased house accommodation for the labouring

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1ST MARCH, 1884.

103

classes, it will be necessary to expand the City in a westerly direction as well as towards the East and to create fresh building sites available for new tenements. Estimates will, therefore, be presented to you for certain additional works of reclamation; for the formation of new suburbs, and for the laying out of new streets in the Districts of Belcher's Bay and Causeway Bay.

;

13. As the hitherto existing system by which purchasers of Crown leaseholds have been able to evade their building obligations has led to a considerable area of land in and near the City remaining vacant, directions have been given that, in the future, no purchaser of a Crown allotment shall receive his lease until he shall have complied with the Conditions of the Sale, and expended the specified sum upon proper tenements. Moreover, in the villages of the Colony, the system of tenants-at-will (termed licensed squatters) whose tenures were terminable upon one month's notice, will be superseded by an improved system of small and inexpensive building leaseholds for seventy-five years. inhabitants will thus gain that security for the investment of their money in suitable homes which was altogether wanting under their present Squatter's License, by which they were liable to eviction upon one month's notice. These measures will, it is expected, tend to stimulate the further erection of proper dwellings, and to relieve the present overcrowded condition of several quarters of the City.

The

14. On sanitary and other grounds I have come to the conclusion that the drainage of the marshy lands situated within the Race-Course in the Wong-nei Chung Valley is as much a work of necessity as the reclamation of Causeway Bay. A plan will, therefore, be laid before you for the drainage of these meadows and for their conversion into a Public Park.

15. Adverting to other important public undertakings, which have received legislative sanction, I am glad to inform you that the Break-water at Causeway Bay, intended to form a harbour of refuge for the boat population during typhoons, has been satisfatorily completed within the amount originally estimated; that the Tai-tam Water-works are steadily progressing; as is also the extension of the Government Hospital, together with the new Lunatic Asylum; and that the erection of the new Central School will be commenced forthwith.. The new Meteorological Observatory has been finished; and will, it is expected, prove of practical value to the maritime interests of commerce.

16. I have pressed on the Imperial Government the importance, on Sanitary and other grounds, of that urgently needed improvement, the connection of the Eastern and Western portions of Victoria, by means of a continuous marine embankment along the sea-frontage of the Military Cantonments and the Royal Naval Yard. I hope to be able ere long to announce a favourable decision.

17. With regard to the vital question of Public Instruction, the Report of the Inspector of Schools for 1883 will be laid before you. I have myself visited on several occasions, among the other Public Establishments, the chief Educational Institutions in this Island. Their condition is generally satisfactory. The new Central School, or Victoria College, is much needed, and will provide accom- modation for at least seven hundred students.

18. In connection with this subject, the Government proposes, with your concurrence, to follow the precedent of other Colonies by sending, in alternate years, in accordance with Regulations which will be submitted to you, two of the most promising students of our chief Colleges, selected by competitive examination, to complete their professional education in England, especially in Law, Medicine, and Civil Engineering.

19. Those minor posts in the Public Service which are at the disposal of the Governor, were wisely thrown open by my predecessor to competitive examination, without distinction of race or creed. A much needed stimulus has thus been given to general Education, while the Government will secure a constant supply of eligible candidates for the several Departments.

20. A Report will be laid before you showing the considerable progress already made in the .afforestation of this Colony. I have directed the introduction of several thousand plants of the Australian Eucalyptus, a tree which furnishes valuable timber, and also exercises a marked sanitary influence, as experience in many tropical and semi-tropical countries has amply proved.

21. You will perceive from papers on the table that it has been necessary to procure a new supply of arms for the Police; for the care of which, and for the proper drill and instruction of the corps you have already made provision.

22. The Imperial Government, on my recommendation, has presented a full equipment of guns and rifles to the Hongkong Volunteer Artillery; which body, it is hoped, will furnish a valuable addition to the numerical strength of the garrison.

23. I have represented to the Imperial Government in strong terms the necessity of completing the Fortifications of this important Naval and Military Station and Mart of Commerce. Without refering to the value of the other and manifold interests, both Imperial and Colonial, which are at stake, I may remind you that Official Statistics show that the tonnage of the shipping entered at the Port of Hongkong in the year 1883 exceeded five millions of tons; that is, it exceeded the tonnage of the shipping entered at the Port of London in 1843, the year in which Hongkong was annexed to the British Crown, at a period when this island was little more than a barren rock, uninhabited save by a few Chinese pirates and fishermen.

104

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1ST MARCH, 1884.

24. I have now, Honourable gentlemen, referred to the principal subjects which will be submitted for your consideration during the present Session. Governors and Legislatures should speak by their actions; and it is my confident hope that our united efforts will, by the blessing of Divine Providence, promote the general welfare and prosperity of all races and classes in this Colony.

His Excellency the Governor having left the Council Chamber, the chair was taken by the Chief Justice, as Senior Member.

The Colonial Secretary moved that the following gentlemen be appointed a Committee to prepare the address in reply to His Excellency's Speech :--

The Honourable THE COLONIAL SECRETARY. The Honourable THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.

The Honourable P. RYRIE,

and The Honourable F. BULKELEY JOHNSON.

Question-put and passed.

Correspondence respecting the Postal Service.

Financial Statement showing the position of the Colony at the end of 1883.

Report of Commission appointed to inquire into the alleged Smuggling from the Colony into

China.

On the motion of the Colonial Secretary, the Council adjourned till 5 P.M. to enable the Address of the Legislative Council in reply to the Speech of His Excellency the Governor to be prepared.

The Council re-assembled at 5 P.M.

The Chief Justice took the Chair.

The Acting Clerk of Councils read at the table the following Address to be presented to His Excellency the Governor, in reply to the Speech he had been pleased to deliver to the Council :---

MAY IT PLEASE YOUR EXCELLENCY,

We, the members of the Legislative Council of Hongkong, in Council assembled, beg to thank Your Excellency for the Speech with which you have opened this the first Session of the re-constituted Legislature of the Colony.

2. We desire to offer to Your Excellency our cordial congratulations upon the wise and salutary reform in the constitution of the Council which has been granted by Her Majesty's Government, on your recommendation, and with which your name will for ever be associated. We heartily concur in Your Excellency's expectation that the Government cannot fail to profit by the advice and assistance of an increased number of Unofficial Members; and that the entire Legislature will be animated by a common desire to promote the general welfare and progress of the community.

3. We concur in the advisability of assimilating the proceedings of this Legislature to the consti- tutional forms established in the other principal Crown Colonies.

4. Your Excellency's recommendation concerning the appointment of Committees of Finance, Law, and Public Works will receive our immediate attention.

5. We assure Your Excellency that we shall not fail to give our careful consideration to every question and measure which may be brought before us.

6. We learn with much pleasure that the Financial position of the Colony, as shown by the Official Statistics, is satisfactory.

7. We agree with your Excellency in the opinion that, in justice to the present generation of tax-payers in Hongkong, a moderate loan should be raised, on the exhaustion of the existing assets, to defray a portion of the cost of those Sanitary and other Public Works, which are recognised as of permanent importance for the security of the general health and well-being of our population.

8. The Estimates for 1885 will receive our careful attention, when they are laid before us.

9. We shall examine the Legislative Measures proposed with the careful deliberation which their importance requires.

10. We thank Your Excellency for the attention which you have given to the circumstances of the so-called Blockade of Hongkong; and we shall be glad to assist in bringing about an equitable settlement of this difficult question.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1ST MARCH, 1884.

105

11. We have received with gratification Your Excellency's statement in regard to the Sanitary eforms which are now in progress; and we trust that the further measures necessary for the preserva- on of the Public Health will continue to occupy the carnest attention of the Government.

12. The want of house accommodation for the labouring classes of this community is a growing vil which we have watched with some alarm; and we shall be glad to co-operate with the efforts of he Government to alleviate the pressure felt in that direction.

13. We cordially approve the steps proposed to be taken to enforce the fulfilment of building covenants in leaseholds, and we trust that any additional security of tenure which may be granted to he smaller class of tenants will operate beneficially in diminishing the evils of overcrowding.

14. The drainage of the Marsh within the Race Course in the Wong-nei Chung Valley will confer boon upon the community by providing a much-needed place of Recreation, and will in our opinion t the same time prove of great advantage to the Public Health.

15. We learn with satisfaction the completion of the Break-water and Meteorological Observatory, and the progress already made in such important and necessary Public Works as the Tai-tam Water Works; the Government Hospital; the Lunatic Asylum, and that the New Central School and the New Central Market will be commenced forthwith.

16. We trust that the forcible representation made by Your Excellency to the proper Imperial Authorities of the sanitary and other advantages to be derived from the junction of the Eastern and Western Prayas, will be crowned with success.

17. We have observed with interest the activity with which your Excellency has, during the short period of your Government, acquired a personal acquaintance with our chief Public Institutions. We shall gladly second your efforts to raise the standard of public Education here, and to enable a certain number of our most promising youths to complete their professional studies in England. We regard, moreover, with satisfaction the continuance of the competitive system for entrance into the Civil Service of Hongkong, consonant as that systein is alike with modern English, and with ancient Chinese custom. 18. We learn with pleasure the steady progress of the important work of afforestation, which, we hope will, here as elsewhere, influence favourably the climate, and so benefit the public health.

19. We entirely concur in the steps taken to promote the efficiency of the Police, a matter of the utmost importance in a community circumstanced as is that of Hongkong.

20. We trust that the organisation and equipment given to the Volunteer Artillery will not only render that body cíficient in any time of emergency, but will also tend to foster in our midst a patriotic spirit of national union and loyalty.

21. We agree with Your Excellency as to the urgent importance of placing Hongkong in that condition of defence which is rendered necessary by the magnitude of the interests, both Imperial and Colonial, which are here at stake.

22. We cannot bring this address to a close without repeating our grateful appreciation of the constant and enlightened attention devoted by Your Excellency to the requirements of all classes and races in this community, and to the initiation of measures calculated to promote the prosperity and advancement of this Colony. We trust that the loyal co-operation of the Governor and of the Legislative Council will, under the Divine Blessing, secure the general welfare and contentment of our population.

HONGKONG OBSERVATORY, 24th February, 1884.

SIR, I have the honour to submit the accompanying account of the average degree of Cloudiness of Hongkong. It shows that the atmosphere here is particularly clear during the autumn, while the spring is rather dull. Just the reverse of this obtains in land, where clear weather is common only in spring. The importance of this circumstance cannot be over-estimated from an astronomical point of view. It is a fact well known to practical astronomers that the part of the sky which is visible during the spring months in the evening in the United Kingd has been especially investigated, while the autumn sky is still comparatively less known. It now appears that Hongkong is most favourably situated for observing during the autumn. So that not only can phenomena be watched here at an hour when they are invisible in England, owing to the difference in Longitude, but that even abstracting from Southern Constellations, the part of the Northern sky which it is most difficult to observe in England can be particularly well explored from this Colony.

I have the honour to Le,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

The Honourable The COLONIAL SECRETARY,

&c.,

&c.

W. DOBERCK, Government Astronomer.

On the Mean Cloudiness of Hongkong.

The amount of sky covered by clouds has been roughly noted for several years at Cape d'Aguilar at Victoria Peak at different equidistant hours during the day, but no records were kept during th

. The following results are therefore not free from the influence of the diurnal variation of the ount of clouds, but they exhibit nevertheless clearly the annual variation.

The mean amount of sky covered by clouds, expressed in percentage of the whole sky, during different months of the years 1880-1884 inclusive, is exhibited in Table I:—

It will be remarked that the amount of clouds is greater at the Peak than at the Cape. The reason of that is that the observer was in the habit of registering the whole sky as covered by clouds whenever the Peak was enveloped by a cloud. Of course the difference increases together with the amount of clouds.

The Mean percentage is 64.2 for the months December, January and February; 68.8 for the months March, April and May; 61.5 for the months June, July and August; and 51.8 for the months September October and November.

It thus appears that the cloudiness is greater in spring than in the autumn, and that October is the least cloudy month. There is a maximum of cloudiness in April, but curiously enough this is still exceeded by February. At the end of January the sky becomes rapidly overcast, and at the end of February there is again some clear weather.

E it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-- 1. The Governor shall cause to be deposited and safely kept in the Colonial Treasury such weights and measures of the standards in use in the United Kingdom and in the Empire of China respectively as are specified in the Sche- dule to this Ordinance, and the weights and measures so deposited shall be the Standard weights and measures of this Colony.

The Governor shall cause to be made copies and models of the several weights and measures so deposited, and such copies and models shall be submitted to the Colonial Trea- surer, who shall cause the same to be verified, and, if approved, stamped or marked in such manner as the Colonial Treasurer may from time to time determine to shew that the same have been verified and approved.

Copies and models after being so verified and approved shall be deposited with the Police Magistrates, who shall keep the same for the purposes of reference as hereinafter directed.

If any copies or models deposited with a Police Magis- trate are lost, destroyed, defaced or injured, they shall be replaced by others of the same weight or measure duly verified and approved.

2. Any person wishing to compare any weight or mea- sure with the copy or model deposited with a Police Magistrate shall be allowed access to such copy or model for the purpose of making such comparison, at reasonable times to be appointed by the Police Magistrate in his discretion. The comparison shall be made in the Magistrate's presence, and the Magistrate, on being satisfied that the weight or measure brought for comparison corresponds truly to the copy or model, shall stamp or mark the same in such manner as the Colonial Treasurer may from time to time determine to shew that the same has been compared and approved.

Such person shall defray all expenses of conveying his weights and measures to or from the Police Court, or shall deposit with the Examiner one dollar if such weights and measures are on shore, or two dollars if they are on board a ship in the harbour, to defray such expenses.

3. The Governor shall from time to time appoint proper persons to be examiners of weights and measures, and may at pleasure remove any persons so appointed.

4. It shall be the duty of examiners of weights and measures to enter the business premises of any persons who sell goods by weight or measure and examine the weights and measures found on such premises, and seize any of such weights or measures as appear to be fraudulently stamped or not to be according to or not to agree with the standard weights or measures of the Colony.

5. No person shall buy or sell or otherwise deal by any weights or measures other than such as are according to and agree with the standard weights and measures of the Colony.

11. Whenever any person is in doubt respecting the proper amount of Stamp Duty payable upon any docu- ment, he may apply to the Collector for an adjudication on such document, at the same time depositing a fee of one dollar, whereon the Collector shall determine the amount of duty to which such document is liable, and on payment thereof shall impress the document with stamps to that amount, also with an additional stamp denoting that the adjudication fee has been paid. And any document bearing the said adjudication fee stamp shall be received in evidence in any Court or registered by any public officer as properly stamped, and shall be regarded as properly stamped for any purpose whatever.

30th November, 1883.

MY LORD,-I have been requested by his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales to bring under your Lordship's notice the forthcoming International Health Exhibition which is to be held under the patronage of Her Majesty the Queen in the buildings lately occupied by the Fisheries Ex- hibition.

The Exhibition will open in May next; and, as the time is short, it is hoped that your Lordship will have the goodness to cause immediate notification to be made of his Royal Highness's request that the various Colonial Governments will do their best to favour him with their co-operation by taking a prominent part in an Exhibition, which is likely to benefit all classes of the community by the inter- change of ideas for the improvement of the conditions of Health, and of the means of primary and technical Education.

I beg to enclose herewith copies of the official documents relating to this Exhibition.

MY LORD DUKE,-I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Grace's letter of the Both November, bringing to my notice, by desire of the President, his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, the forthcoming International Health Exhibition, and intimating that it is hoped that imme- diate notification will be made of his Royal Highness's request that the various Colonial Government- will do their best to co-operate by taking a prominent part in the Exhibition.

In reply, I have to inform your Grace that I shall be happy to issue a Circular Despatch inviting the Colonies to co-operate in the proposed Exhibition; but I would first desire to point out that. loving regard to the late date of the invitation, it would be impossible for the majority of the Colonic- Comply with Regulations 6 and 7 within the limited time therein mentioned, or even carlier in any cases than the end of March, and that many Colonies could not even receive the particulars earlier th the date fixed for the arrival of applications.

Before therefore communicating with the Colonial Governments on the subjet, I should be joki be informed whether some extension cannot be given to enable the more distant Colonies to uv:

elves of the invitation should they desire to do so.

The numerous processes of Manufacture connected with the preparation of articles of food and drink will thus be exemplified; and, so far as

ature of the articles will admit, full illustrations will be given of the various descriptions of foods the perishable themselves.

In the Second Group, Dress, chiefly in its relation to health, will be displayed. Illustrations of the clothing of the principal peoples of the world may be expected; and a part of this Exhibition-which, it is anticipated, will be held in the galleries of the Royal Albert Hall-will be devoted to the History

Costume.

In the Third. Fourth and Fifth Groups will be comprised all that pertains to the health! ruction and fitting of the Dwelling, the School and the Workshop; not only as respects the

l arrangements for Sanitation, but also the Fittings and Furniture generally in their effect alth of the inmates. The most improved methods of School Construction will be shown, a des of combating and preventing the evils of unhealthy trades, occupations and

Amendment carried nem. con.

THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CEMETERY-CONDITIONS OF THE TENURE OF.-The Honourable F. B JOHNSON, on the motion for adjournment, asked, pursuant to notice, the Surveyor General, what ar the conditions of tenure on which the land set apart for the interment of Roman Catholics is held.

The Surveyor General replied :-

Upon receiving notice of the question of the Honourable member, I caused an investigatior to be made as to the terms under which this lease was granted. In 1848 Governor Si JOHN BOWRING conceded to the ecclesiastical authorities of the day a leasehold of this land for the term of 999 years. The concession was not accompanied by any conditions or restrictions. It is vested in the Propaganda Fide as represented by the authorities of the day. The actual holder of the lease is the Roman Catholic Bishop, and I have been able to find nothing that will in any way enable the Government to interfere because it was not given in trust, but was an absolute gift in fee simple to the Roman Catholic authorities of that day.

The Honourable F. B. JOHNSON gave notice that at the next Meeting of Council he would move for the production of all the papers relating to this grant of land.

The Council adjourned until Wednesday, the 12th instant, at 4 P.M.

Read and confirmed, this 19th day of March, 1884.

HONGKONG OBSERVATORY.

Weather Report for February, 1884.

In the China Coast Meteorological Register-based on information transmitted by the Great orthern and the Eastern Extension Telegraph Companies-which I have published daily, is given a ummary of the atmospheric circumstances in Manila and along the Coast of China as far north as hanghai.

At the beginning of the month the Barometer had risen to about its mean height here. It gistered 30.5 inches at Shanghai and 30.1 inches at Manila. Fresh or Strong E. Breezes, indicated y the Gradients, prevailed here. The Barometer fell slowly along the Coast and at the same time rose in Manila. On the 3rd at 10 a. the lowest Pressure was registered at Hongkong. Hence Fradients were inverted and the Wind veered to W. The Temperature was high and in the afternoon remarkable squall passed across the Coast and brought down heavy Rain S. of Shanghai, in which lace a severe snow-storin was experienced. The following days normal atmospheric conditions set in. he sky cleared and Temperature and Humidity decreased owing to the prevalence of Northerly Winds. On the 10th, Gradients indicated Easterly Winds, the Barometer having slightly fallen here. The sky as overcast, the Temperature and the Humidity increased and Rain fell at most stations along the Coast. The following days the Barometer continued falling, Gradients indicated gentle Winds and he Humidity rose to a maximum. The Barometer then continued almost stationary with moderate Gradients for NE. Winds up to the 21st. The sky continued overcast, the Temperature was rising nd the Humidity great. The 21st the Barometer rose, the sky cleared and the Humidity decreased. he Barometer fell again between the 24th and the 28th but the 27th it stood higher here than at Shanghai, The Humidity was then increasing but partially clear sky still obtained.

The Standard Barometer at the Observatory is placed 110 feet above Mean Sea Level. The bulbs f the Thermometers are about 109 feet above Mean Sea Level and 4 feet above the ground, except the faximum Thermometer, which is a few inches higher, and the Terrestrial Radiation Thermometer, which is about one inch above the ground. The four Thermometers are fixed in a Stephenson Screen t a distance of 75 feet SW. of the main building, but they are placed over dry earth, as the levelled round round the Observatory has not yet been turfed. Most of the Self-recording Instruments were rected in the course of February. It is expected that they will be adjusted and ready for work uring the month of March.

At Victoria Peak, the Instruments, except the Radiation Thermometers, are placed in the Look- ut. The Barometer is about 1,823 fer above Sea Level. The bulbs of the Thermometers are about 4 eet above the floor, except the Maximum and the Terrestrial Radiation Thermometers, which are placed at the same height above the ground as at the Observatory. Unfortunately the Solar Radiation Ther- nometer was not properly placed, and the readings are therefore somewhat defective. At Cape d'Aguilar. he Thermometers are placed about 170 feet above Sea Level, in a wooden screen 2 feet above the ground, except the Maximum Thermometer, which is a few inches higher.

203 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 22ND MAR., 1884.

Table I exhibits the readings of the Barometer reluced to 32.0 Fahrenheit, but not to Sea Level, at the Observ...ory and at Victoria Peak.

The Mean Height of the Barometer at the Observatory was 30.061, and at the Peak 28.244 inches. The atmospheric tide can scarcely have appreciably excecled 0.109 at the Observatory. The Barometer at the Peak is not sensitive enough for determining the atmospheric tile at that altitude. The highest reading of the Barometer registered at the Observatory was 30.311 at 10 a. on the 24th; and at the Peak, 28.458 at the same time. The lowest reading was 29.809 at 4 p. on the 3rd at the Observatory and 28.029 at the same time at the Peak.

Table II and Table III exhibit the readings of the Thermometers (Fahrenheit) at the Observatory, Cape d'Aguilar, and the Peak.

The Mean Temperature during the month was 57.2 at the Observatory, 56.3 at Cape d'Aguilar and 50.6 at the Peak. The Highest Temperature registered was 70.0 on the 3rd, at the Observatory; 65.0 on the 18th, at Cape d'Aguilar; and 63.5 on the 28th, at the Peak. The Lowest Temperature was 42.8 on the 7th, at the Observatory; 43.6 at Cape d'Aguilar; and 35.8 on the same day, at the Peak.

The Mean Temperature in Hongkong decreased one degree Fahrenheit for every 280 feet ascended. Table IV exhibits the Relative Humidity in percentage of saturation (the Humidity of air satur- ated with moisture being 100) as determined from observations of the Dry and Damp Bulb Thermom- eters. The Mean Relative Humidity at the Observatory was 78, at Cape d'Aguilar 88, at the Peak 88. The Least Relative Humidity registered at the Observatory was 36 at 4 p. on the 24th; 45 at the same time at the Peak; and 44 at 10 p. on the same day at Cape d'Aguilar.

Table V exhibits the Tension of Aqueous Vapour present in the Atmosphere at the Observatory and at Victoria Peak, expressed in inches of mercury. The Mean Tension was 0.377 inches at the Observatory and 0.337 inches at the Peak. The Greatest Tension registered at the Observatory was 0.517 at 10 p. on the 19th; and at the Peak 0.535 at 10 a. on the 3rd. The Least Tension was 0.173 at 4 p. and 10 p. on the 7th at the Observatory; and 0.156 at 4 p. on the same day at the Peak.

Table VI exhibits the amount of Rain collected at 10 a. on the following day, and the Duration of Precipitation as estimated at the Observatory. The greatest amount of Rain fell on the 3rd when it rained 1.266 at the Observatory, 1.34 at Stone Cutters' Island, and 1.75 at the Peak.-it appears that the amount of Rain increased with the altitude of the Observer in Hongkong.

The Rain at Stone Cutters' Island is, by order of Captain THOMSETT, R.N., Harbour Master, etc., measured by the officer in charge of the Gunpowder Depôt. The gauge is situated about 15 feet above Sea Level and 28 inches above the Ground.

Table VII exhibits the Direction (to two points) and Force of the Wind (0-12) and Sea disturb- ance (0-9). The portion of the register that refers to 4 a., as well as the Sea Disturbance at the other hours, has been derived from observations made at the Light-houses.-The Mean Force of the Wind was 3.1, corresponding to a velocity of 18 miles per hour. The Mean Direction was ENE. The Force of the Wind was greatest in the early morning hours.

Table VIII exhibits the Direction and Force of the Wind at Victoria Peak. The Mean Direction was ENE., and the Mean Force 4.2 corresponding to a Velocity of 24 miles per hour.

Table IX exhibits the Amount, Name and Direction, whence coming, of the Clouds. When the names of Upper and Lower Clonds are given, but only one Direction, this refers to the Lower Clouds. The prevailing Direction of the Lower Clouds was from E. or North of E., but on several days they were observed to come from W. or SW. The Mean Direction of the Highest Clouds was W. On an average 67 per cent of the sky was clouded. The Nebulosity was greater during the day than during the night.

Drizzling Rain, while the instruments were being read off, was registered at the Observatory on the 2nd at 10 p., the 11th at 4 p., the 12th at 10 a., the 14th at 10 p., the 15th at 4 p., the 17th at 4 p., the 18th at 10 p., the 19th at 10 p., and the 20th at 10 a.

W. DOBERCK, Government Astronomer

214 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 22ND MAR., 1884.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.--No. 106.

The following report from the Government Astronomer, is published for general information. By Command,

W. H. MARSHI,

Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 22nd March, 1884.

ON THE

ANN

ON THE MEAN MONTHLY AND ANNUAL RAINFALL AT HONGKONG.

The amount of Rain fallen during the previous twenty-four hours has been for several years collected and measured at Stone Cutters' Island at Noon every day. This island is situated in a sheltered position, very favourable for the collection of Rain. The rim of the gauge is circular, 8 inches in diameter and is placed 2 feet 4 inches above the Ground, and about 15 feet above Sea Level. The amount of Precipitation has been measured in hundredths of an inch, the thousandths being neglected, so that the registered amount though fairly accurate, is likely to be a little too small.

The Monthly and Annual Rainfall during the years 1878-1883 inclusive is exhibited in Table I. The Mean Annual Rainfall is 90 inches. The Rainy Season sets in, in May or at the end of April and ends in September or in October, but occasionally very little Rain falls in September. The Mean Semi-Annual Rainfall from May to October inclusive is 76.08 inches, and from November to April. it is 13.90 inches.

By comparison with the Table of Cloudiness published in a previous Report, it appears, that this is greater during the Dry than during the Rainy Season.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.—No. 107.

The following Annual Report from the Postmaster General is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 22nd March, 1884.

W. H. MARSH,

Colonial Secretary.

GENERAL POST OFFICE,

HONGKONG, March 21st, 1884.

SIR,--I have the honour to report on the British Postal service in China during 1883.

2. There is almost nothing of International interest upon which to remark. It is to be hoped the ng-deferred entry of the Australasian Colonies into the Union is at last to take place. A Postal ongress was to assemble at Lisbon last summer, but nothing has as yet been heard of its proceedings. general period of Statistics was held in November, and passed off smoothly. Its results, as far as ncerns the work of this Department, will be found embodied in Table C in the appendix. It is fficult to account for the decreases shown in this Table. The figures only mean that during the 28 ys selected considerably less correspondence happened to pass through the Post Office than during e corresponding period in 1882. That there has been no real diminution is shewn by the increased le of stamps during the year.

3. The Post Offices at all the Ports have been inspected by the Assistant Postmaster General, Mr. RAVERS, whose report has been published. Mr. TRAVERS alludes to the inconveniences experienced the smaller communities in not being able to obtain Money Orders except from Hongkong or hanghai. It has just been decided at home to extend the excellent Postal note system to the Colonies, ad thus will be afforded to this Office the means of offering Postal notes on the United Kingdom r sale at all the Ports where its Agencies are maintained, as well as of much simplifying the resent rather complicated Money Order system.

4. The Postal facilities provided for the community at Swatow have been increased, thanks to e energy of Mr. BROWN, late Postal Agent there, by the opening of a branch Office on the side of he river opposite to the Consulate, where the Post Office has hitherto been worked. So far there

every reason for satisfaction with this experiment.

5. What should have been the success of the year was the establishment of a Postal Agency at ientsin, but it can only be regarded as à disappointing failure. Successive Consuls stationed there ad assured this Department that, the Agency once established, there would be no difficulty about he courier transit from Chinkiang to Tientsin during the months when the river Peiho is frozen. The Agency has been established, but there is a difficulty. The courier service is carried on by the Customs, and it has been found practically impossible to get a sealed bag of Registered correspondence hrough unopened, simply because the managers of the Transit service open all such bags for the urpose of re-packing the contents. Under these circumstances all check on the safety of Registered Articles vanishes, and this Office finds itself practically where it was before, with Registration xtending to Shanghai and no further.

6. The service sustained a loss during the year in the sad death of Mr. L. W. HENLEY, Postal igent at Foochow. Mr. HENLEY was devoted to the interests of the community amongst whom he vas stationed; his amusing and vivacious letters, always full of excellent suggestions, went far to rove the truth of the saying that no work is really well done which is not done in the pirit of play.

7. Very much larger mails than in former years have been forwarded by the direct steamers Leaving Hankow for London. A practice used to prevail at this port of sending letters on board loose o be posted at Suez. On one occasion, as might have been expected, the whole consignment of etters was not posted at Suez, but carried round by Gibraltar, a mishap which seems to have been not without its moral at Hankow.

8. An Assistant is badly wanted at Amoy, where the business is out-growing the establishment. The Agent there writes of his difficulties in a strain which recalls the reports of the late Mr. TROLIE :-

Nice boat is far too small for the work it has to do. Mr. TRAVERS called attention to this after his inspection of the Agency, experience I can confirm all that he bas said. I went out in the little dingy a few weeks ago to one of Messrs. HOLTS' ater harbour, and the trip was not only an unpleasant but an unsafe one. I have had much experience in boating here wan safely afirm that a very little more wind and sea would have capsized the boat. Perhaps when a Post Office gen (or two) have been drowned, and a home mail lost, Her Majesty's Postmaster General may recognise the a safer means of conveyance.

in 1883, $100,690.65; In 1882, $89,147.62. Increase, $11,543.00, or nearly $1,000 a month.

216 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT. GAZETTE OF 22nd MAR., 1884.

It is not quite clear which Postmaster General is to be convinced by the destruction of two Posta Agents, the universally respected Minister who presides over the Department in London or his muc! humbler representative in Hongkong. If the latter, he can only say, liberavi animam.

9. To provide a larger boat is a very simple matter, the provision of a larger crew is the difficulty. Departmental expenses are continually on the increase, and can seldom be reduced again The Government of Hongkong keeps these Offices at the Ports open simply and solely to deliver the mails from Europe, and to collect correspondence for transmission in the opposite direction. But for this, as far as we are concerned. it would be desirable to close all the Agencies to-morrow. It is discouraging, therefore, to find the London Post Office indisposed to allow any increase upon : departmental expenditure which was settled seventeen years ago, and which has of course been completely outgrown. The expenditure of Hongkong on these Agencies has been more than doubled since 1867, whilst the local Revenue of the Post Office, which in 1872 exceeded $76,000, has disappeared.

10. It may be permissible here to quote the minute which was submitted to His Excellency the Governor on this subject.

"I regret Mr. FAWCETT's decision. It really amounts to this, that the Postal service on the Coast of China is to remain absolutely unimproved, or is to be improved at the sole cost of the Colony of Hongkong. Besides the fact that it is secreely the province of Hongkong to provide Postal facilities for people at Amoy, &c., the Home Government has swept away all the surplus Revenue out of which the expenses of such facilities might have been defrayed.”

“Mr. FAWCETT's suggestion that what is wanted might be provided at the cost of the communities concerned 13 not, under local circumstances, a hopeful one. This course was tried for some years at Hiogo and Nagasaki in Japan, and led to much inconvenience and complication. There are no municipalities at Ports like Amoy which could vote anard sums, in consequence any expenses would have to be met by subscriptions, or (as in Japan) by a charge levied on each letter. The communities rapidly change; the new comers, never having experienced the evils the charges were levied to meet, resent them as impositions, many refuse to pay, or decline to receive the taxed correspondence, and a constant irritation is kept up."

"The difficulty will be met some day. I hope. by the Chinese Government (at first perhaps as represented by the foreign Customs staff) awaking to a sense of its national duties, and establishing an efficient Post Office in every open Port. The time is perhaps hardly ripe for that as yet, and I do not think we enn take the initiative. Hongkong has been requested to relieve the Imperial Government of the care of Post Offices in China. It is not so pleasant as might be wished to have the service stereotyped against all improvement, but our position would seem to be simply a ministerial one. There is nothing for it but to make the best of it, and not to “ wander from the allotted field" until we are relieved of our task there."

11. The disappearance of Revenue alluded to above has been completed during the year under review by the receipt of directions from home to contribute a sum of £6,000 a year towards the expenses of the P. & O. contract, in place of the sum of about £3,000 which we were paying before. For the first time therefore in the history of the Colony it may be considered that the Post Office is being worked at a loss. All the correspondence on this subject has been published. The Imperial Post Office in the first instance asked for nearly £14,000 a year, with arrears from February 1st 1880. The Colony is indebted to Lord KIMBERLEY and Lord DERBY for the reduction of this heavy demand to £6,000.

12. The question of expediting the delivery of the French Mail has again occupied the attention of the Department, it is satisfactory to be able to report that the time occupied in sorting, which had crept up to nearly two hours. has again been reduced to about an hour and a quarter, the mail having once or twice been- sorted in little more than an hour. The means of effecting this has mainly been an arrangement with the Ceylon Post Office, by which the twelve or fourteen bags from Australia, which lie two or three days at Colombo waiting for the outward packet for China, are opened there and consolidated into one large mail, the contents of which are arranged so as to facilitate sorting here as much as possible. An Officer of the Colombo Post Office is paid an allowance equal to about £50 a year for undertaking this duty.

13. In a letter from the Chamber of Commerce to the Colonial Secretary dated May 12th 1882, the following remark occurs:-

"The Committee cannot agreee with the Acting Postmaster General in his statement that the mail which arrives unsorted takes from an hour and forty five minutes to two hours before it is ready for delivery, as the experience of most of the members of this Chamber is that a much longer period is required for the distribution of the letters by the French Mails."

The

Now as a matter of fact no French Mail has ever taken much over two hours to sort. longest time recollected is two hours and a quarter, under exceptionally disadvantageous circuinstances. But this is counting from the arrival at the Post Office of the first bag till the windows are opened. Of course if this Departinent is credited by an impatient public with all the time that elapses from the firing of the Peak gun until extremely deliberate coolics saunter to the houses or offices of their respective employers with the letters, a longer period will naturally seem to be required, but observation will shew that even this is generally not much over four hours. The time taken in landing the mail varies very considerably, being affected by the tide, the weather, the time of day, the amount of obstruction caused by sampans and cargo boats, and other circumstances. Commanders will not allow the mails to be moved until the mooring is complete, others permit their Some despatch before anything else is done. The occasional delays resulting from these circumstances sometimes tell heavily against the community at Canton, the steamer for which place not infreque leaves after the mail arrives, but before it is landed or can be dealt with.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 22ND MAR., 1884. 217

14. The sorting of the French Mail is too often carried on under difficulties caused by the rtinacity of intruders, persons who, after having amused themselves by persistently knocking at ery available window (where of course they receive no attention) drift round the premises in search any unguarded door where an entrance may be effected. Even a Post Office must have some mmunication with the outer world, and if any approach, however unlikely, be left unbarred, these ople will find it. In general they only want to ask "when the mail will be ready?" or some ually foolish question, the answer to which, if there is an answer, is already on the notice board. at the public service is hindered by the attempt to gratify this sort of curiosity or selfishness pears to be nothing to the intruder, who turns up with the greatest regularity whenever the ndows are closed, even for a few moments, for either an incoming or an outgoing mail. Even midnight he seems to think the Post Office is open for the sole purpose of answering his questions. the two, the intruder is a greater nuisance than the gentleman who is "very amiable to have a llection of timber posts

15. No less than $27,000 has been paid away to Chinese on Money Orders from Australia. he Chinese in Rangoon have also discovered the money system we maintain with the Indian Post ffice, and are beginning to remit considerable sums. It is curious that the large Chinese population the Straits Settlements use the Money Order system scarcely at all. The reason probably is that e intimate business connection between the Chinese communities of the two Colonies enables them make arrangements of their own for remitting money, and that for some reason these arrangements nnot so easily be made in the cases of British Burmah and Australia.

16. Proposals to establish a Money Order system have been addressed to the Post Office of the nited States, more with a view to the convenience of American residents in Southern China than to e exchange of Chinese remittances. If the Chinese who have crossed the Pacific avail themselves of e system as their countrymen in Australia have done, more assistance in the Money Order branch this Department will become unavoidably necessary, but this result is not expected.

17. Now that an inland Parcel Post has been established in the United Kingdom it is to be hoped at the much and long desired Parcel Post from China may be established. Proposals to effect this ve been submitted to the London Office. This Department has always declined to participate in any arcel Post system on which prepayment will not frank the parcel to the door of the addressee. There ill probably now be no difficulty in securing this.

18. Some points in the Post Office Ordinance 1876 needing amendment, an entire reprint has 2en submitted for re-enactment. The point on which an alteration of the law was especially desirable as the Section exempting all Chinese letters from the action of the Ordinance. No extensive or veeping interference with Chinese correspondence is intended, but it is desirable to have the power o stop those wholesale evasions of public dues of all kinds which Chinese are so ingenious in devising. n one steamer for San Francisco alone over 11,000 letters were found surreptitiously conveyed in he baggage and about the persons of Chinese passengers.†

19. The amount of thought Chinese will bestow on petty frauds of this kind, and the potionee ith which they will "compass sea and land" to carry them out are well illustrated by a system hich they worked between Singapore and Swatow. Chinese letters for Swatow were portal at ingapore without any attempt at prepayment. At Swatow they were of course chrrgål double ostage. But they had been folded with the ends open, and when the addressee had rect the contents Le declined to receive the letters or pay the sums due. The Swatow Agency met this neat little

aud by enclosing the letters in envelopes, and the practice was discontinued at once. hing was once tried from home with short-paid post cards, and defeated in a similar manner. erhaps hardly be believed that there are persons in China who advise their friends at home not to repay their letters, as the postage is charged here not to the addressees but to dir employers! The Lelay which this Department has purposely introduced as an extra penalty on short-paid correspondence as greatly tended to discourage this. Every unpaid leiter retards the delivery of the mail in which

is. A system of universal compulsory prepayment is much to be desired.

The same It will

20. The rule of refusing to make enquiries for unregistered letters said to have contained bank notes, ewellery, &c., and alleged to be lost in passing through the Post, introduced more than a year ago, would seem to have worked well. Complaints have become infrequent. It will be said that people That is true, but also, lo not complain when they are told beforehand they will not be listened to.

More than 25.000 of these letters have been received back from San Francisco as unclaimed,

under those circumstances, they avoid putting themselves in the position of having a complaint t make. Still there is a great deal of carelessness as to the contents of letters. Covers are receive at this Office, obviously containing coin, which have not even been posted, but have been sent loos on board steainers to reach the Post Office as best they could! A whole bundle of letters for Shangh was found to have been gnawed to picces by rats because one cover, in the middle of the bundl contained bride-cake. It is very hard that persons should lose their anxiously expected correspondenc for the sake of such a useless and dirty practice as is sending bride-cake through the Post. A sigh of the repulsive parcels, which it is a trial even to touch, too forcibly suggests the question whethe anybody will have the fortitude to eat their battered and rancid contents.

21. The mails once reached London and twice reached Hongkong in 32 days. The quickes British packet passage has been 32 days, twice, outward. Taking the whole year, and the passage in both directions, the British Packets show an average of 36 days against 364, the average Frenc mail passage. The following are the averages for the year,

The above will show at a glance that the vessels arriving here in the year under review are of greater tonnage than those which arrived in 1882.

4. There is an average daily arrival in this Port of (leaving out decimals) 66 Junks measuring 5.072 tons; 8 Steam-ships measuring 8,809 tons; and 1 Sailing ship measuring 641 tons; or a total of 75 vessels a day, exclusive of the traffic between Victoria and the outstations of Yau-ma Ti, Shau-ki Wan, Stanley, and Aberdeen in small Junks and Steam launches.

7. The principal increase in the trade in British Vessels has been with the Australasian Colonies, British North Borneo, Coast of China and Formosa, Cochin China, Continent of Europe, India and Singapore, Japan, and Philippine Islands. And in Foreign Vessels the increase has been with the above named Countries, United States of America, Hainan and Tonquin.

8. The principal decrease in British Vessels has been with Great Britain and the United States of America. And in Foreign Vessels the decrease has been with British North America, Great Britain, and Siam.

9. The trade between this and British North Borneo is 9,782 tons, an increase on the previous year of 8,717 tons, and is as a rule confined to one steam-vessel a month.

JUNK TRADE.

10. A larger class of Junks has been introduced into this trade, and although Steam-vessels enter largely into competition with Junks, the latter are able to hold their own, as they shew an increase this year of 45,849 tons.

11. The Junk trade with Macao shews a slight increase.

EMIGRATION.

12. Principally consequent on the laws adopted by the Australian Colonies and the United States of America restricting Chinese immigration in those Countries, 21,426 fewer Chinese have left Hongkong during the year.

13. Emigration hence to Bangkok has ceased, the labour for Siam being procured direct from Amoy and Swatow.

14. There is an increase of 6,905 emigrants to the Straits Settlements due to the requirements of the Malay States for working the Tin Mines.

15. There is a decrease of 6,451 Chinese to Victoria, Vancouver's Island.

16. The Hawaiian Government agree to receive 600 Chinese per quarter from Hongkong, but these emigrants are at present only permitted to proceed by certain vessels, thereby establishing a monopoly of an unusual character.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT. GAZETTE OF 29TH MAR,, 1884. 251

REGISTRY OF SHIPPING.

17. Nineteen vessels were registered, and six vessels withdrawn from the Registry of this Port during the year.

MARINE MAGISTRATE'S COURT.

18. Thirty-seven cases only were tried during the year; refusal of duty and assault on board ship being the chief offences. This speaks well for the good order and discipline of the ships visiting the Colony.

EXAMINATIONS FOR THE POSTS OF MASTERS, MATES, AND ENGINEERS, UNDER SECTION 15 OF ORDINANCE 8 OF 1879.

19. The following list will show the number of Candidates who passed, and of those who failed in obtaining Certificates of Competency.

Masters,.

First Mates,

Only Mates,.

Second Mates,

RANK.

First Class Engineers,

Second Class Engineers,..

PASSED.

FAILED.

20. Officers in the Mercantile Marine complain that Hongkong Certificates are not recognised in the Australian Colonies. This is a grievance which I hoped would have been rectified before now by Hongkong being brought within the provisions of 32 and 33 Vict. Chap. 63, Sec. 10.

MARINE COURTS, UNDER SECTION 13 OF ORDINANCE 8 OF 1879.

21. The following Courts have been held during the

year:-

1. On the 7th February, 1883,-Inquiry as to the burning and scuttling of the British Steam-ship Carisbrooke, Official number 65,463 of Singapore, in the harbour of Hong- kong. The Master's (MORRIS GEORGE SCOTT) Certificate of Competency was returned. This vessel was subsequently raised, and is now being fitted for sea.

2. On the 18th April, 1883,-Inquiry as to the loss of the British Steam-ship Minard Custle, Official number 85,115 of London, on a sunken rock 600 yards East of the Island of Cheung Chau in the West Lamma Channel. The Master's (RICHARD SKINNER) Certificate of Competency was suspended for nine months, and that of the Third Mate (JOHN MULLEN) was suspended for three months.

3. On the 4th August, 1883,-Inquiry as to the loss of the British Steam-ship Spark, Official number 64,093 of Hongkong, on Cape Cami, Island of Ilainan. The Master's (ARCHIBALD HUGH BROOKE ROSE) Certificate of Competency was suspended for two

years.

4. On the 23rd October, 1883,-Inquiry as to the grounding and abandonment of the British Ship G. C. Trufant, Official number 70,696 of London, at Port Barton in the North West part of the Palawan Island. The Master's (GAMALIEL THOMAS) Certi- ficate of Competency was returned. This Ship was afterwards floated and taken to Manila. On her voyage from that Port to Hongkong the vessel foundered, the crew, with the exception of one man, arriving at Macao in the Ship's boats.

SEAMEN.

22. 9,223 Scamen of all Nationalities were shipped, and 10,081 were discharged in the

year 1883. The excess of men discharged over men shipped is caused by some of the former being sent to England and Australia as distressed seamen, and others leaving the Colony without notifying their departure.

I have the honour to be, Sir,

Your most obedient Svant,

The Honourable W. II. MARSH, C.M.G.,

The following Address to Her Majesty the QUEEN, unanimously adopted by the Legislative

Council, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 3rd April, 1884.

W. H. MARSH,

Colonial Secretary,

MAY IT PLEASE YOUR MAJESTY,

We assure Your Majesty that the great distance of this Colony from the scat of the Imperial Government, so far from weakening, serves only to lend additional strength and grace to the feelings entertained by the entire coinmunity, without distinction of race or creed, of loyal and patriotic attachment to the Throne and to the Mother-country. In common with our fellow- subjects throughout the British Empire, the inhabitants of Hongkong, whom we represent, deplore the sudden and early loss to Your Majesty and to his country, of a Prince, whose personal tastes and character, and whose devotion to Science, Literature and Art, recalled the noble example and career of his Illustrious Father, the late Prince Consort.

Signed on behalf of the

Legislative Council of Hongkong,

G. F. BOWEN, Governor. (President of the Council.)

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.--No. 124.

The following Finding of a Marine Court, appointed to enquire into the loss of the British Steam- ship Yot-sai, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 5th April, 1884.

W. H. MARSII,

Colonial Secretary.

1. We find that the British Steam-ship Yot-sai, 127 tons, 80 horse power, Official No. 73.450 of Hongkong, belonging to the Hongkong, Canton and Macao Steam-boat Company, Limited, after receiving extensive repairs at the hands of the Hongkong and Whampoa Dock Company, left the Docks at Kau-lung on the 24th February, 1884, at 12.45 P.M., on a voyage to Macao, where it is intended that the vessel should run between Macao and Canton as a Passenger Boas.

2. That while on the voyage, and at or about 3.10 P.M., the starboard boiler exploded causing the total destruction of the ship, which went down in 3 fathoms water.

3. That the boilers were efficiently repaired, having stood a water test of 60 lbs., and were of sufficient strength for the service on which the ship was to be employed.

4. That the explosion occurred through excessive pressure in the starboard boiler.

5. That this pressure was caused by the safety-valves of that boiler being fixed immovably in their seats, and the stop-valve being partially closed.

6. No blame whatever is attached to the Master, JOHN PARKINSON HOYLAND, number of Certificate of Competency 474, Hongkong.

7. Of those on board at the time of this terrible accident, Mr. DA COSTA, the Secretary of the Steam-boat Company, Messrs. ScOTT and PINKER, Engineers, Mr. G. FRIZELL, Draughtsman, attached to the Dock Company, Mr. and Mrs. STEWART FRASER-SMITH, Mr. J. D. Wood, Engineer of the Yot-sai, the Chinese Firemen, and some others, number not known, lost their lives.

The following observations are appended to the finding

Every well-constructed boiler should be fitted with:-

1. A stop or communication valve.-When this valve is shut, the communication between the boiler and engines is closed, when the valve is open, the steam generated in the boiler passes freely into the engines.

2. Two safety-valves.

a. The locked-up or Government safety-valve.-This is not under the control of the Engineers of the ship, and cannot be re-adjusted without the sanction of the Master, who should keep the key in a secure place. The valve is automatic in action, lifting when the weighted pressure is exceeded.

b. The working safety-valve.-This is under the control of the Engineers of the ship as respects lifting the valve before the weighted pressure is reached; but in all other respects it is similar to the locked-up valve, lifting automatically when the weighted pressure is exceeded.

3. A steam gauge.-This should be placed in a conspicuous position, and have its pipe

connected with the steam space of the boiler.

Referring to paragraph 2, the bursting pressure of boilers is, generally speaking, from 4 to 6 times the working steam pressure, varying according to the age and condition of the boilers. Therefore, if the safety-valves are the correct size, well fitted, and the weights or springs properly adjusted, it is considered impossible that any boiler can explode from excessive pressure, even supposing the stop-

valve to be closed.

On the 16th February, after the repairs of the Yot-sai's boilers were completed and tested with water pressure, in the presence of Mr. JoHN S. BREWER, the Government Marine Surveyor, with a satisfactory result; steam was raised for the purpose of testing the steam joints, and the vessel was taken for a short run. The Government Marine Surveyor was not present, he not having been notified of the Dock Company's intention to raise steam, consequently the safety-valves were not adjusted on this occasion, as they should have been before the vessel proceeded under steam.

After this trial the Dock Company considered that the ship was no longer under their charge. On the 19th February, steain was raised and another trial made. The Government Marine Surveyor was present; and he states that he adjusted all the safety-valves except the locked-up safety. valve on the starboard boiler, which was found to have something wrong with the fittings.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5т¤ APRIL, 1884.

281

On the 22nd February, steam was again raised and a trial made; when the Government Marine Surveyor was not present, he not having been notified.

On the 24th February, steam was raised, and the vessel proceeded on a trip to Macao to resume her duties on the Canton and Macao line. The Government Marine Surveyor and others were on board.

The boilers primed soon after starting and it is our opinion that the stop-valve on the starboard boiler was partially closed to check the priming, and was not again opened; the effect being that the steam generated in the boiler was in excess of that passing away to the engines, and gradually accu- ulated. This in itself would not have caused the bursting of the boiler, inasmuch as the safety- valves should have lifted, and relieved it of any excess of pressure.

Under the impression that the spring was broken, and to prevent the steam blowing off, the Government safety-valve of the starboard boiler, which had not been previously adjusted, was shored lown, with the knowledge and approval of the Government Marine Surveyor, shortly after which this boiler exploded.

If it was considered advisable to shore down the locked-up safety-valve, the working-valve should previously have been tried by hand, and proved to be efficient and working freely in its seat.

There is no evidence to show that this was done.

We are of opinion that nothing can justify the shoring down of a safety-valve, that is, fixing the valve immovably in its seat.

On the assumption that the spring was broken, the following was the proper course to pursue:

a. A weight put on the vertical rod on the valve to keep it in its seat; the weight to be such as to allow the valve to lift before the normal weighted pressure was much exceeded, or,

b. A rough lever of wood might have been arranged, fixed at one end, and so weighted at the

other as to cause the valve to act as described in the preceding paragraph, or,

c. If it were not practicable to weight the valve as described in paragraphs a and b, the fires in that boiler should have been drawn, the boiler disconnected and the vessel steamed slowly into Port with the remaining boiler.

8. In view of the foregoing, we consider that the Government Mariuc Surveyor made a very grave error of judgement in approving of the shoring down of the Government safety-valve. He doubtless depended on the working safety-valve lifting, and relieving any excess of pressure. But we are of opinion that this valve was also fixed in its seat, because it failed to relieve the boiler of the excessive pressure which caused the explosion.

With a view to preventing in future an explosion such as that which occurred on board the Yot-sai, we make the following recommendations:-

That in the case of all newly constructed boilers, or boilers which have undergone repairs, it shall be compulsory on the Owners, Agents or Master to cause the following precautions to be observed:— 1. That after the completion of the repairs, an examination of the safety-valves and their fittings

be made by a competent Engineer.

2. That this Engineer shall adjust the weight on all the safety-valves the first time steam is raised

in the boilers, and before the vessel proceeds under steam.

3. That he examine the boiler steam gauges, with a view to ensuring that they are in good order, placed in a conspicuous position, and that their pipes are connected to the steam space of the boiler.

If the boilers are for a vessel for which a Passenger Certificate is required, the Government Marine Surveyor is the proper person to perform the duties described, and he should supply the Owners, Agents or Master with a Certificate to the effect that the vessel may procced under steam.

If these recommendations are carried out, we are satisfied that it will be impossible for a boiler to explode from excessive pressure.

Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 26th day of March, 1884.

ADDRESS OF CONDOLENCE.-His Excellency the Governor moved the following Address of Con- dolence to Her Majesty the QUEEN on the death of the Duke of Albany :·

"MAY IT PLEASE YOUR MAJESTY,

We, Your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the Governor and Legislative Council of Hongkong, in Council assembled, desire to offer the expression of our sincere sympathy with the affliction which Your Majesty has suffered through the death of His Royal Highness, Prince LEOPOLD, Duke of Albany. We assure Your Majesty that the great distance of this Colony from the seat of the Imperial Government, so far from weakening, serves only to lend additional strength and grace to the feelings entertained by the entire community, without distinction of race or creed, of loyal and patriotic attach- ment to the Throne and to the Mother-country. In common with our fellow-subjects throughout the British Empire, the inhabitants of Hongkong, whom we represent, deplore the sudden and early loss to Your Majesty and to his country, of a Prince, whose personal tastes and character, and whose devotion to Science, Literature and Art, recalled the noble example and career of his Illustrious Father, the late Prince Consort.

SIR, I have the honour to transmit to you, for information and publication in the Colony under your Government, a copy of an Order of the Queen in Council, dated the 2nd of February last, exempting Norwegian Ships from re-measurement for tonnage in this Country, and revoking the Order in Council of the 17th of May, 1876, enclosed in the Earl of Carnarvon's Circular Despatch of the 13th of July of that year.

The Officer Administering the Government of

HONGKONG.

I have, &c.,

DERBY.

AT THE COURT AT OSBORNE HOUSE, ISLE OF WIGHT,

The 2nd day of February 1884.

PRESENT,

THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by the Merchant Shipping Act Amendment Act, 1862, it is enacted that "when- ever it is made to appear to Her Majesty that the rules concerning the measurement of tonnage of "merchant ships for the time being in force under the principal Act have been adopted by the "Government of any foreign country, and are in force in that country, it shall be lawful for Her Majesty by Order in Council to direct that the Ships of such foreign country shall be deemed to be "of the tonnage denoted in their certificates of registry, or other national papers, and thereupon it "shall no longer be necessary for such ships to be remeasured in any port or place in Her Majesty's "dominions, but such ships shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in their Certificates of "Registry, or others papers, in the same manner, to the same extent, and for the same purposes, in, to, and for which the tonnage denoted in the Certificate of Registry of British Ships is to be deemed the "tonnage of such ships.'

And whereas by The Merchant Shipping Act, 1876, it is enacted that "where Her Majesty has power under the Merchant Shipping Act, 1854, or any Act passed, or hereafter to be passed, "amending the same, to make an Order in Council, it shall be lawful for Her Majesty from time to "time to make such Order in Council, and by Order in Council to revoke, alter or add to any Order "so made:'

And whereas it was made to appear to Her Majesty that the rules concerning the measurement of tonnage of merchant ships now in force under The Merchant Shipping Act, 1854, had been adopted by the Royal Norwegian Government, and came into force in Norway on the 1st day of April,

1876:

And whereas by Order in Council dated the 17th day of May, 1876, Her Majesty was pleased by and with the advice of Her Privy Council to direct that the merchant ships belonging to the said Kingdom of Norway, the measurement whereof had after the said 1st day of April, 1876, been ascer- tained and denoted in the registers, and other national papers of such ships, testified by the dates thereof, should be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in such registers, or other national papers, in the same manner, and to the same extent, and for the same purpose, in, to, and for which the tonnage denoted in the certificate of Registry of British ships is deemed to be the tonnage of such ships; Provided nevertheless, that should the owner or master of any Norwegian steam-ship desire the deduction for engine room in his ships to be estimated under the rules for engine room measurement and deduction applicable to British ships instead of under the Norwegian rule, the engine room should he measured and the deduction calculated according to the British rules:

353

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD MAY, 1884.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient humble Servant,

DERBY.

HONGKONG.

THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL TO THE INTERNATIONAL HEALTH EXHIBITION TO THE

EARL OF DERBY.

SOUTH KENSINGTON,

13th March, 1884.

MY LORD,

I am desired by the Executive Council of the International Health Exhibition to intimate to your Lordship that it is proposed to organize, in connection with the Exhibition, a Library and Reading Room, and that a wish has been expressed that the occasion should be made an opportunity for bringing together a collection of international works on sanitation and kindred topics. It will be the first time that an effort will have been made to bring together in one place such a collection of materials, the catalogue alone of which will prove of immense future value.

Selected publishers and authors are being invited to send their works to this Department; but in order that it may be of a thoroughly international and intercolonial character, the Executive Council are anxious that some steps should be taken with a view to enlist the sympathy and support of Colonial Governments. I am therefore desired to invoke the assistance of the Colonial Office, and to ask if your Lordship would do the Council the honour to cause application to be made to Colonial Governments to furnish lists of all official publications on vital statistics, and reports and regulations on public health issued by the Central Governments of such Colonies. The Council do not ask that communications may be entered into with the municipalities of the Colonies, as manifestly, even if it were possible to obtain them, the dealing with reports and regulations from local centres would be far beyond their power. They do trust, however, that in the manner indicated it may not be impossible to obtain from the Central Governments of the Colonies, for the use in the proposed Library, a collection of works affecting the administration of general sanitary laws throughout the Colonies.

I may add that, in response to a request which I recently addressed to Earl Granville, application has been made from the Foreign Office to Foreign Governments for contributions to the Library and Reading Room.

I am to add that parcels and communications in reference to this Department should be addressed to the Secretary.

The Right Honourable

The Earl of Derby,

&c.

Jr.,

&c.

I have, &c.,

BUCKINGHAM AND CHANDOS,

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 183.

The following report from the Government Astronomer for the month of March, 1884, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 10th May, 1884.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

HONGKONG OBSERVATORY.

Weather Report for March, 1884.

In the China Coast Meteorological Register, based on information transmitted by the great Northern and the Eastern Extension Telegraph Companies, which I have published daily, is given a summary of the atmospheric circumstances in Manila and along the Coast of China as far north as Shanghai. It also contains information concerning the weather prevailing in Nagasaki and Wladiwostock.

At the beginning of the month the Barometer stood at about its mean height in these regions and Gradients were slight. Overcast weather prevailed during the month and Gradients were slighter than during preceding months except on a few days, when they indicated NE, E or SE Winds. Moderate or fresh East Gales of Wind were experienced on the 1st, 4th, 6th, 9th, 18th and 28th.

The Standard Barometer at the Observatory is placed 110 feet above Mean Sea Level. The bulbs of the Thermometers are about 109 feet above Mean Sea Level and 4 feet above the ground, except the Maximum Thermometer, which is a few inches higher, and the Terrestrial Radiation Thermometer, which is about one inch above the ground. The four Thermometers are fixed in a Stephenson Screen at a distance of 75 feet SW. of the main building, but they are placed over dry earth, as the levelled ground round the Observatory has not yet been turfed. The Barograph and Thermograph were adjusted in the course of the month. The self-recording Anemometer was started in January, but the Anemograms were not used till the 1st of March. The self-recording Rain-gauge and the Sun-shine Recorder were used from the same date.

The self-recording meteorological instruments will be described and the methods adopted in their use will be explained in my Annual Report.

At Victoria Peak, the instruments, except the Radiation Thermometers, are placed in the Look- out.

The Barometer is about 1,823 feet above Sea Level. The bulbs of the Thermometers are about 4 feet above the floor, except the Maximum and the Terrestrial Radiation Thermometers, which are placed at the same height above the ground as at the Observatory. Unfortunately the Solar Radiation Thermometer was not properly placed, and the readings are therefore somewhat defective. The Barometer was not properly registered since the 12th. At Cape d'Aguilar the Thermometers are placed about 170 feet above Sea Level in a wooden screen 2 feet above the ground, except the Maxi- mum Thermometer, which is a few inches higher.

Table I exhibits the readings of the Barometer reduced to 32.0 Fahrenheit, but not to Sea Level, at the Observatory and at Victoria Peak.

The Mean Height of the Barometer at the Observatory was 29.909. The atmospheric tide can scarcely have appreciably exceeded 0.106. The highest reading of the Barometer registered was 30.136 at 10 a. on the 12th, the lowest was 29.716 at 4 p. on the 6th.

Table II and Table III exhibit the readings of the Thermometers (Fahrenheit) at the Observatory, Cape d'Aguilar, and the Peak.

The Menu Temperature during the month was 62.3 at the Observatory, 61.15 at Cape d'Aguilar and 58.2 at the Peak. The Highest Temperature registered was 76.1 on the 27th, at the Observatory; 75.8 on the 3rd, at Cape d'Aguilar; and 69.3 on the 27th, at the Peak. The Lowest Temperature was 54.9 on the 10th; at the Observatory; 55.6 on the same day, at Capo d'Aguilar; and 47.0 on the 9th and 10th, at the Peak.

The Mean Temperature in Hongkong decreased one degree Fahrenheit for every 560 feet ascended

394 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 10TH MAY, 1884.

Table IV exhibits the Relative Humidity in percentage of saturation (the Humidity of air saturated with moisture being 100) as determined from observations of the Dry and Damp Bulb Thermometers. The Mean Relative Humidity at the Observatory was 90, at Cape d'Aguilar 94, at the Peak 96. The Least Relative Humidity registered at the Observatory was 68 at 10 a. on the 8th; 72 at 4 p. on the 7th at Cape d'Aguilar; and 77 at 10a. on the Sth, and at 10 a. on the 29th at Victoria Peak.

Table V exhibits the Tension of Aqueous Vapour present in the atmosphere at the Observatory and at Victoria Peak, expressed in inches of mercury. The Mean Tension was 0.519 inches at the Observatory, and 0.486 inches at the Peak. The Greatest Tension registered at the Observatory was 0.724 at 10 a. on the 17th; and at the Peak 0.687 at 4p. and 10 p. on the same day. The Least Tension was 0.351 at 10 a. on 29th, at the Observatory; and 0.273 at 4 p. on the 9th at the Peak.

Table VI exhibits the amount of Rain measured at different stations at 10 a. on the following day, and the Duration of Precipitation at the Observatory. The greatest amount of Rain fell on the 6th, when it rained 1.987 at the Observatory, 1.40 at Stone Cutter's Island, and 1.80 at the Peak.

Table VII exhibits the amount of Rain registered during every hour at the Observatory. The greatest hourly Rainfall was 1.345 at 3 a. on the 7th.

Table VIII exhibits the Duration of Sunshine as measured by aid of the Sunshine Recorder at every hour. The Sun shone 60 hours during the month.

Table IX exhibits the Direction of the Wind in numbers (8=E, 16=S, 24-W, 32-N) and the Velocity of the Wind in miles per hour as measured from the Anemograms. The Mean Velocity of the Wind was 19.2 miles per hour. The Velocity was greatest at sunrise and least at sunset.

Table X exhibits for every hour in the day the Velocity of the Wind reduced to 4 and also to 2 Directions as well as the Mean Direction of the Wind. It appears that the Diurnal Variation was very small.

Table XI exhibits the Direction to two points and Force of the Wind (0-12) at Victoria Peak. The Mean Direction was ESE and the Force 3.9 corresponding to a Velocity of 22.5 miles per hour. -The Sea Disturbance (0-9) exhibited in the same table has been derived from observations made at

Cape d'Aguilar.

Table XII exhibits the Amount (0-10), Name and Direction, whence coming, of the Clouds. When the names of Upper and Lower Clouds are given, but only one Direction, this refers to the Lower Clouds. The prevailing Direction of the Wind at the Observatory, as exhibited in Table X, was E; at the Peak, as exhibited in Table XI, ESE; the prevailing Direction of the Lower Clouds was about SE and the Direction veered with increasing height, the Highest Clouds coming from W. On an average 87 per cent of the sky was clouded.

Drizzling Rain, while the instruments were being read off, was registered at the Observatory on the 1st at 10 a., the 6th at 10 a., the 9th at 10 p., the 10th at 10 a. and 4 p., the 12th at 10 a., the 17th at 10 p., the 18th at 10 a., the 19th at 4 p., the 21st at 4 p., the 22nd at 10 p., the 24th at 10 the 31st at 4 p.

P., and

It was raining while the instruments were being read off on the 5th at 10 p., the 18th at 4 p., and 10 p., and the 21st at 10 p.

Dew fell on the 2nd at 10 p. and on the 20th at 10 p.

Unusual Visibility was noted on the 7th, 8th and 19th.

Fog was noted on the 15th, 16th, 17th, 26th and 31st.

Lightning and Thunder were noted on the 7th, 19th, 21st, 22nd, and 23rd, and Lightning without Thunder was observed on the 27th and 31st.

Fog prevailed extensively at Cape d'Aguilar and at Victoria Peak.

SUPPLEMENT

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.--No. 203.

The following Annual Report of the Colonial Surgeon for the year 1883, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 22nd instant, is published for general information.

By Command,

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 24th May, 1884.

Government CIVIL HOSPITAL,

HONGKONG, 24th March, 1884.

SIR,-I have the honour to forward my Annual Report for 1883, together with the Tables shewing the work done in the different Establishments under my supervision and charge.

POLICE.

2.—The admissions from the Police Force to Hospital are still steadily increasing. The numbers for the past three years are as follows:-1881, 498; 1882, 549; 1883, 599. The average strength of the Force for those three years, was--1881, 624; 1882, 588; 1883, 658. Thus the admissions to Hospital for 1883 are 101 more than in 1881, though the strength of the Force is only increased by thirty-four, as compared with that year. The rate of sickness compares a little more favourably with last year, the increase in the number of admissions to Hospital being fifty, and the strength of the force increased, seventy; so that though the admissions to Hospital have increased as compared with last year, the sickness in proportion to the strength of the Force has been a trifle less.

3.-There were eight deaths in the Force this year, seven of which occurred in Hospital. One Lokang who was on duty on the Praya at Wan-tsai was found drowned. The others were on leave.

4.-Table I shews the number of admissions from the Police to the Hospital for each month of the year. The numbers are largest in the summer months, especially in June and September.

5.--Table II shews the average strength of the Force during the year, and the percentage of sickness and deaths in it, both being considerably less among the Indian and Chinese portions of the Force than last year. Among the European portion of the Force both are slightly increased.

6.-Table III shews the Police admissions to Hospital from the different districts and stations. The Police Hulk, which furnished more cases than any other single out-station, and has for many years been condemned, will give no more trouble, as providence has taken the matter in hand and destroyed it by fire, unfortunately before the new Water Police Station on shore was ready. Stanley Station, which last year only furnished seven cases, this year sent in twenty-eight, twenty-one of these being Indians. No. 2 and 3 Stations shew an increase, sending thirty-nine cases to Hospital, as compared with thirty- four last year, but the change here is rather unaccountable. In 1882 the admissions were: Europeans. 2; Indians, 12; Chinese, 20; this year the admissions are: Europeans, 11; Indians, 18; Chinese, 10,

7.—No. 3 Station is wholly unsuited for habitation and ought to be pulled down and rebuilt. This Station is one of the few in the town that has a fair sized compound. No. 7 Station furnishes 58 cases this year as compared with 46 cases last year. This Station also has a fair sized compound and should also be pulled down and entirely rebuilt. As I observed in my last Annual Report, none of the Police Stations in the City of Victoria can be commended on Sanitary grounds.

8.--The increase in sickness is shewn in every portion of the Force, but this year more noticeably among the Europeans in proportion to their strength, as is shewn below.

9. This steady increase of sickness in all portions of the Force is anything but satisfactory, and cannot be accounted for by the general health of the Colony, which is no worse in proportion to numbers than it was ten years ago.

10.-Ten years ago, in 1874, the strength of the Force was 648, as compared with 658 in 1883. The sickness among the Force in 1874 was 346, as compared with 599 in 1883. The admissions of Europeans to Hospital in 1874 were 64, their strength being 116. In 1883 it is 114 with a strength of 113. That is to say the sickness has nearly doubled, while the strength has been a trifle lessened. The deaths among them were in 1874, 1; in 1883, 2; shewing that the increase of sickness amongst them cannot be attributed to the increase in severity of disease. The admissions to Hospital from the Police are more than one third of the total admissions to Hospital in 1883.

444 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 24TH MAY, 1884.

11. The general physique of the men sent from home of late years is quite as good as formerly; indeed a finer set of men than the European Police in Hongkong could hardly be found anywhere. The sanitary condition of their quarters does not account for the increase in sickness amongst them entirely, for they were much the same in 1874 as they are now. Though many of them have altered for the worse yet some have altered for the better; therefore I think that it must be looked for in the longer hours of duty, and especially to the longer hours of exposure to malarial influences on night duty.

12.-The admissions to Hospital and deaths in the Police Force for the past ten years are as follows:-

13.-There is a considerable increase in the numbers admitted to the Military Hospital this year, though but a slight increase in the number of deaths.

14.-Table IV gives the average strength of the Force, the sickness and deaths, with their to strength for 1883.

16.-The sickness amongst the Troops this year therefore is nearly equal to the worst year of the ten, 1881, and the deaths more than the average.

17.-It is curious to note that the sickness among the Military and the Police began to increase nearly at the same time, and if "a policeman's life is not a happy one," as regards sickness, a soldier's does not seem to be much better in Hongkong.

GOVERNMEMT CIVIL HOSPITAL.

18.--Last year, the alterations in this Establishment sanctioned by the Secretary of State about five years ago were begun and I hope by the end of this year they will be nearly completed.

19. At present the work of the Establishment is carried on in part of the Old Lock Hospital, the New Lock Hospital, and the Old Temporary Lock Hospital, formerly a School House, and therefore the work has had to be carried on under exceptionally unpleasant conditions for both staff and patients.

20.-In the beginning of last year Mr. MCCALLUM, the Government Apothecary and Analyst, was promoted to the new office of Sanitary Inspector, and his successor did not arrive till the end of the year.

21.-There were other troubles to contend with among the staff. The Steward and a European Wardmaster had to be dismissed, and the Chinese Clerk who had just learnt to make himself useful was promoted to another office.

22.-These things have all been remedied. The new Government Analyst has taken charge of his duties very satisfactorily. We have a new Steward, who formerly belonged to the Police Force, and bears an exceptionally good character, and a new European Wardmaster, formerly in The Buffs, who also has highly satisfactory testimonials. Also a new Chinese Clerk who has to learn his duties, which are numerous and important.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 24TH MAY, 1884. 445

23.-A Public Mortuary has been built, which will be a great relief to the Hospital, and we shall no longer have the offence of bodies in an advanced state of decomposition contaminating the atmosphere of the Hospital to the detriment of the patients and annoyance of the Staff.

24. The admissions during the past year have been more numerous than ever before. The following table shews the number and position of the patients admitted during the past three years.

25.-The admissions from the Police and Government Servants are the cause of the increase in the

admissions this year. The Government Servants admitted are for the most part Officers in 'he Gaol and others, and to the impossibility of their procuring decent accommodation their ill-health may in a great part be attributed. To the unwholesome condition of things to which they, and other officers of Government drawing salaries of from $40 to $60 a month have to submit, I have in previous reports drawn attention.

26.-Of Police cases and destitutes, the majority are Chinese, but the European loafer still holds a prominent place among them, notwithstanding the efforts of many private individuals to abate the nuisance. It is not satisfactory, after providing the loafer with a passage and clothes, to find that the former has been lost, and the latter spoilt, by the man getting drunk and being found in a gutter by the Police, when he makes his appearance either in the Gaol or the Hospital, in both of which he has to a certain extent to be nursed into condition, either to bear his punishment or appear in the streets again, and better men deserving of help have to go without it from the irritation he has caused in the minds of the charitably disposed.

27.-Table V shews the character of the diseases in patients admitted to Hospital.

Table VII shews the admissions and deaths in each month in the year, both sickness and mortality being as usual greatest in the Summer months.

SMALL POX HOSPITAL.

29. This year this building was used in the summer months for the reception of cases of a choleraic character, of which there were two, both European Policemen. One of them had been sick for between a fortnight and three weeks before being sent to Hospital. The other had been in attendance on him, assisting his wife. This Constable and the wife died from diarrhoea of a choleraic character brought on from over-exertion, want of proper food and rest, and exposure.

30.-The man on whom they were in attendance also succumbed to a diarrhoea of a similar type. None of these cases were of the epidemic type known as Asiatic Cholera. But Cholera being all round us in neighbouring ports, and cholera cases having been in quarantine on Stone Cutters' Island, they created a scare in this Colony, happily with no serious result.

31.-Thirteen cases of Small Pox were admitted to this Hospital during the year, for the most part of a mild type. Eleven recovered and two died.

VICTORIA GAOL.

32. The number of prisoners adınitted to Gaol this year was nearly as many as in 1882, and the daily average, about 60 less than in 1882, is still high, as the following figures shew.

33.-This shews a slight improvement for the last two years. The number of sick admitted to the Gaol Hospital during the year is still large when the accommodation provided for them is considered, which is chiefly owing, as I have before reported, to the number of vagabonds and destitutes that have of late years invaded the Colony, both European and Chinese.

34. Table IX shews the causes of admission to the Gaol Hospital. Many of the patients are in such a debilitated state from starvation and exposure that they spend the whole of their time in Hospital, some also suffering from horrible sores.

Table X shews the cases treated in the cells. Besides these there are numerous petty complainants who, together with malingerers and others are brought up every morning for examination, or to be passed for punishment, averaging about 50 daily.

There were five deaths in the Gaol this year. Two were sudden deaths and one suicide. Table XI shews the rate of sickness and deaths in the Gaol for the year 1883.

Table XIa shews the number admitted into the Gaol Hospital immediately after their sentence. The Europeans were mostly cases of excessive drinking verging on Delirium Tremens.

Table XIb shews the nature of their complaints.

Table XIc gives a list of the Opium Smokers received into Gaol reporting themselves as smoking half a mace of Opium and upwards daily. It also gives their ages, number of years they have been habituated to the use of the drug, weight on admission, and for the four following weeks. The weights on admission I think have not been kept quite accurately in some cases. None of the cases admitted to Hospital are from causes directly attributable to Opium Smoking that I can see, and none of them suffered from deprivation of the drug.

35. The reports of the treatment of Opium Smokers in the Gaol and the deductions I have made therefrom, appear to have created some discussion. The Anti-opium League especially seems to be interested in the matter. I could wish, however, that in their criticisms they would quote me correctly, as I am made to say, that Medical Missionaries are easily bamboozled. What I did say was that & Physician in a China Hospital, where the attendance is at least not so good as in European Hospitals, might easily be bamboozled by the Opium Smoker. I never made any sort of reference to Missionaries. There are few Physicians of any standing, I should think, but could tell tales of how they have been deceived by patients, and if such a man as the late Sir THOMAS WATSON can relate amusing anecdotes of how he has been imposed upon by Hospital patients, I presume it allowable to infer that Medical men of less gigantic intellect are not infallible, especially when in charge of Hospitals where the attendance is not so good as in England.

The experiments made by Mr, MCCALLUM and reported in the China Review were as follows:- To an Opium Expert was given four samples of Opium--

No. 1. Ordinary Opium as prepared at the Hongkong Opium Farm.

No. 2. Prepared Opium, minus Morphine.

No. 3. Prepared Opium from the Opium Farm with 10 per cent of Morphine added.

No. 4. Prepared Opium from the Opium Farm with 15 per cent of Morphine added..

The Opium Expert reported as follows—

No. 1 is fairly good; is a mixture of Bengal Opium and something else.

No. 2 is black, coarse, smells fairly good; is not Opium.

No. 3 is coarse, but can be smoked; contains Opium with some other mixture. Is not so good

as No. 1.

No. 4 is very coarse and black, burns like charcoal, and contains no Opium.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVE GAZETTE OF 24TH MAY, 1881. 447

An old Opium Smoker gave the following opinion of the same specimens—-

No. 1. Good.

No. 2. Not very good.

No. 3. Same as No. 1.

No. 4. Fairly good, but not so good as Nos. 1 and 3.

Second series of experiments-

No. 1. Opium Farm prepared Opium, which by assay contained 7 per cent of Morphia. No. 2. No. 1 with 15 per cent of Morphia added.

No. 3. No. 1 with 25 per cent of Morphia added.

-No. 4. Prepared Opium minus Morphia.

The Opium Expert reports as follows-

No. 1. The appearance is coarse, and when burned it becomes black and hard. It is Bengal

drug but not pure. It is mixed with some other stuff and has no taste.

No. 2. Burns very quickly and has no taste or smell of Opium at all. Color red and coarse, when burned gives out plenty of smoke, and leaves simply ash and not Opium to smoke. No. 3. Just like No. 2, only a shade better.

No. 4. When applied to the lamp burns just like. Opium, but in a moment it burns quite

black, and the dross leaves a bad smell; when burning gives out strong smoke.

The Old Opium Smoker reports--

No. 1. Very good.

No. 2. Same as No. 1.

No. 3. Not good.

No. 4. Same as No. 1.

Now the Expert who condemns the Opium Farmer's Opium as being adulterated, says No. 4 in first series and No. 2 in second series contain no Opium.

if he had eaten some of it!

No. 3 in first series, contains Opium and

No. 4 in second series contains none.

No. 2 in first series is not Opium.

No. 4 in second series burns like Opium.

How surprised his friends would have been

The value of his opinions is amply demonstrated. He condemns the Opium

He condemns the Opium belonging to his

Firm as being adulterated, which he most decidedly would not have done had he known what it was, and that alone is sufficient to render his opinion worthless.

The old Opium Smoker says—

No. 1 in the first series is good.

No. 1 in the second series is very good.

These are both specimens of the Opium Farmer's Opium untouched.

No. 2 in first series is not very good, but

No. 4 in second series is very good.

From these two specimens all the Morphia has been abstracted.

No. 3 in first series is good.

No. 2 in second series is very good.

These two specimens contain respectively 10 and 15 per cent of Morphia added.

No. 4 in first series is fairly good, but

No. 3 in second series is not good.

These contain respectively 20 and 25 per cent of Morphia added.·

The Opium Smoker's opinion is that the Opium Farmer's Opium is good in one case and very good

in the other.

The Opium with no Morphia in it is not very good in the first case, but very good in the other. The Opium with 10 per cent of Morphia added is good, with 15 per cent added very good, with per cent added is fairly good, and with 25 per cent is not good.

Only the last specimen of the series is condemned as not good; the rest were all smokeable mixtures.

It is evident from this that he is as well contented with that having the Morphia in it, as that with the Morphia abstracted, or with three specimens of that having Morphia added.

11S SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 24TH MAY, 1894.

ア

VES

36.-On these experiments of Mr. MCCALLUM's a series of questions were asked in the Friend of Ching, by Dr. KERR of Canton, and others concerning my own investigations, which I consider it necessary to answer for the satisfaction of the Government, as it must be interested in the controversy going on about Opium in China, more especially as Dr. KERR seeks to cast ridicule on work done in good faith without any animus against one side or the other in the controversy.

From the questions asked, Dr. KERR does not seem to have read the report he is so conteniptuous about in his letter with much attention, or if he had, there was no necessity to put them.

The first series of questions are--

"1st. Was the Morphia added to the Opium Farmer's Opium, the alkaloid, or was it a salt of

Morphia containing a mineral acid?

2nd. If it was the alkaloid, did the addition of the Morphia make a smokeable compound, equivalent in all respects to what it would have been if the Morphia had existed in the larger proportion in the native state, that is, combined with the native vegetable acids? 3rd. If it was Morphia combined with a mineral acid, was it more or less volatile than as it

exists in the prepared. opium?

4th. How long had the Opium smoker, who tried these four mixtures, abstained from his customary pipes, or was he at the time of the trial more or less under the influence of the Opium he used daily?

5th. How many trials were made of each of the four mixtures? Were they all made at one time or was one day, one week, or one month given to each of the four mixtures? These are points bearing more or less directly on the trustworthiness of these experiments. Dr. AYRES and Mr. MCCALLUM have concluded from them that 'the great principle of the Opium, Morphia, in smoking seems to vanish, certainly has no effect upon the smokers.'"

1st. The Morphia added was the alkaloid. No chemist would have added a salt of Morphia contain- ing a mineral acid.

2nd. The Opium Extract with the added Morphia was not only smokeable, but was actually smoked and pronounced in three cases out of four to be good by the old Opium smoker, and there is no good reason to suppose that it was not in every way equivalent to an extract containing naturally the same amount of the alkaloid. This and the previous question were hardly necessary under the circumstances.

3rd. 4th and 5th questions hardly require answering. The quantities given in each specimen were more than equal to a hundred pipes. Of the specimens containing no Morphia whatever, double quantities were given. The Opium smoker fairly tested all the specimens by themselves, and was not under the influence of Opium at the time of testing them. No tobacco smoker would require such large samples to pronounce an opinion upon their quality, neither would a smoker of Indian Hemp.

Surely the Opium smoker should be able to detect the value of the drug in less quantities than this, or how should he know at all. Hundreds of Opium smokers only smoke from six to twelve pipes a day, say half a mace to a mace of Opium; at this rate the quantity in each specimen would last him from a week to a fortnight. I think under the circumstances a very fair trial was made.

The Opium smoker got a number of specimens that lasted him some months, which thoroughly contented him, and he was not likely therefore to spend his money in getting other Opium; on the contrary he would have liked to have some more of the specimens he pronounced very good. Yet this man has been smoking the Opium Farmers' Opium for nearly twenty years, and was an old Opiuni smoker when I made his acquaintance more than ten years ago.

The second series of questions, had they not been printed in the Friend of China with Dr.. KERR'S name attached, I should not have noticed.

"Dr. AYRES claims to have dealt with facts which came under his own notice. But scientific

investigation requires the collection of all available facts. I therefore take the liberty of asking a few suggestive questions.

1st. Docs à Chinaman acquire a habit of using Opium, which in time becomes so confirmed

that he must have his smoke twice daily?"

1st. Nobody that I am aware of disputes this fact. But then comes the question, why do they ain content with so few pipos ditly as half a mace or a muce will provide, and rarun softenany tep and why doe die ding not lost its cffcet on them in these small doses, as it is known to Le cese of Opium eating if it has any effect at all?

"2nd. If Opium smoking is without effect on the smoker, what is the inducement for so many to keep it up year after year, even when he must deprive himself and his faily of many comforts and necessaries ?"

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 24TH MAY, 1884. 419

2nd. That is what we want to know, and are as far off from as ever. For the Opium smoker is as contented with Opium with its active principle abstracted as he is with the Opium usually sold for

moking purposes, which contains seven per cent of Morphia.

"3rd. After indulgence of five, ten, or twenty years, is it difficult to give up the habit?

What would be the testimony of 5,000 old smokers on this point?"

3rd. No. In my ten years' experience in the medical charge of Opium smokers in the Hongkong Gaol, I have not found what difficulty there is in giving up the habit, unless it be want of strength of will, which is a difficulty easily surmounted in the Gaol, where a prisoner is not allowed a will of his own, but a greater difficulty to overcome, as I have found, in private practice.

The difficulty scems to me to be purely imaginary on the patients' part; all of them have the idea they shall suffer pain or death if deprived of the drug at once. Old prisoners resume the habit on going out of Gaol, though they have been years without, but on returning to Gaol they never make any objection to being deprived of it, as they do in the first instance. Perhaps if I live long enough I may get 5,000 Opium smokers' opinions on the subject.

"4th. Are the salts of Morphia ever used by the Chinese to get rid of Opium smoking?" 4th. Certainly they are. Nobody disputes the fact, and I regret to think that it is by the advice, in some cases, of professional men who ought to know better than to substitute one vice for another.

I admit that Opium smoking is a vice when money is spent on it that should have gone for necessaries; the smoker for his own selfish gratification spending money that should support himself and family.

"5th. How many pounds of the Morphia Salts are sold to the Chinese annually by Messrs.

WATSON & Co.?"

5th. An unnecessary enquiry. If Messrs. WATSON & Co. are engaged in substituting the more serious vice of Morphia dosing for Opium smoking, the Anti-opium League should expose. such a pernicious practice, and show, as I ain endeavouring to do, tha: it is unnecessary for the cure of Opium smoking.

"6th. How many pounds are sold by other Druggists?"

"7th. Does Morphia in any form enter into the Anti-opin powder sold so extensively by

Messrs. WATSON & Co. for the cure of Opium smoking?"

Ch and 7th. To both these questions the answer is I do not know. I say it is not necessary in the case of Opium smoking.

"8th. Is a salt of Morphia taken into the stomach, or injected hypodermatically, a substitute in any degree for Opium Smoking? If so, how much sulphate or hydrochlorate of morphia would be required to substitute one mace of the prepared Opium? How much five mace? and so on?"

8th. No, most certainly not. The ordinary dose of Morphia in my experience either internally or hypodermically acts on the Opium smoker the same as it would on any one who did not use Opium in any form. ile would be a foolhardy man who. on the strength of an Opium smoker's habit, Increased the ordinary full dose of Morphin before testing its action on the patient, and would certainly risk, under this Government, a Coroner's inquest.

"9th. If Morphia Salts are a substitute for Opium, and if they are actually used by Opium smokers for that purpose, is in scientific nonsense for Dr. Aries to say that the great principle of the Opina Morphia, in zinoking senso seems to vanish? Certainly it în se way affects the Smoker.”

9th. Needs no answer other than above, the Morphia Salts not being a necessary substitute.

"10th. If no Morphia goes from the Opium smoked, into the smoker's system, why would not quassia, or ginseng, or carbonate of ammonia, or camphor, or tobacco, be as good a substitute ?"

10th. Because none of these would make a smokeable compound satisfactory to the Opium smoker xcept tobacco, and it is not necessary to go to that expense, cabbage leaves would do as well,

"11th. If Morphia is not sublined in the Smoke, what part is played by the other alkaloids

contained in the Opium ?"

11th. We are trying to ascertain, but not having a proper laboratory at present, the work is slow- 12th. What foreign sub-tance is added in the process of preparing the Extract for stacking?" 12th. Nothing whatever, except water. I have watched the whole process from beginning to d. The preparation of Opinn by the Opium Farmer consists in getting all that is soluble in the rough Opium from it, and evaporating the solution till it is an extract of suflicient consistency for smoking. Nothing is added but water, and nothing is taken away but the water added.

150 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOV" GAZETTE OF 24rπ MAY, 1884.

"13th. What effect does heat have in the process of cooking the Opium ?” 13th. Only evaporates the water used.

"14th. What effect is produced on the alkaloids when the Opium is submitted to the flame of the lamp in smoking? Is the result combustion, or sublimation, or the production of a new substance, as in the firing of Tea-leaves and Coffee grains?"

14th. Decomposition-The new bodies formed have not yet been isolated, and their nature ascertained.

"15th. And lastly, will the Anti-opium League Survive-Signed J. G. KERR."

15th. Really I don't think this is a question for me to answer, as I am not interested in the matter in any way, and it has not occurred to me in my researches on the Opium Smoking question, to make enquiries on this point.

37.-Two mistakes were made in the printed copies of my last Annual Report. They must have been made in copying my draft and overlooked.

38.-One is noticed by Dr. KERR, that 15 mace is not, as printed, equal to 150 grains, but to 900 grains. The other that has escaped the notice of my severe critic is that "three mace equal 12 pipe loads." It should be "one mace," and that is allowing each pipe a heavy load, nearly five grains;

three would be nearer the mark.

39.-Dr. KERR says in his letter, quoting my last Annual Report ;——

"The Opium is at once cut off, and the weight again taken the second week, the third week, and some cases the fourth week. Curiously enough, stopping the Opium, with prison diet, did not cause them to lose weight. Of one, the worst case, Dr. AYRES says, The heaviest sinoker was the fourth on the list, his daily consumption being fifteen mace or 150 grains (here is a mistake, 15 mace are equal to about 900 grains); he had been an opium smoker for thirty years; he comes into Gaol weighing 107tbs., does not lose weight at all, but in three weeks rises to 110lbs.' Now mark, these men had been smoking opium constantly for 100 weeks, 500 weeks, and up to 1,500 weeks and no note taken of their weight, when all at once they are locked up in Gaol, the Opium denied them, and, in three or four weeks' observation and weighing, the conclusion arrived at that opium smoking does not cause emaciation. Scientific nonsense!"

By this I suppose he means that the Opium smoker is prevented from pursuing his vice, has good food and regular hours; and therefore where is the wonder he improves at once, and the emaciation he suffered from, while Opium smoking, disappears.

40.-So it does cause emaciation in a way. If he starves his belly for the sake of the Opium smoking, of course he becomes emaciated; he is not likely to get fat on smoke of any kind. But what about the well-to-do Opium smoker? He generally has a liberal allowance, but does not have to pinch his belly, so he does not get emaciated, and I have seen many fat Opium smokers in my time. A Chinaman that turns the scale in this part of the world at 120lbs., unless he is unusually tall, is in very good condi- tion, and there are several that do more than that in Table XIc. Notably, a poor old gentleman 53 years of age, 30 years an Opium smoker, consumption of Opium Six mace and a half a day, equal to rather more than three quarters of an ounce,, weighed on coming in 135 pounds, at the end of a month he had lost 4 pounds and could well afford it; he was not meant to increase in weight when in Gaol. His number is 19 on Table XIc.; he was never under medical treatment in Gaol. I say distinctly that Opium smoking does not cause emaciation, and when it occurs in an Opium smoker it is from the want of proper food.

41.-Well, here is another on Table XIc. No. 50, 68 years of age, 40 daily average consumption 6 mace.

years an opium smoker, On coming into Gaol weighed 82 pounds, at the end of the month weighed 81 pounds, was never on the sick list, and had no notice taken of his Opium habit whatever. Though a very light weight he was not emaciated. He did not appear to suffer at all from depriva- tion of his Opium smoking. Another case, No. 79, Table XI., aged 52, twenty years an Opium smoker, daily consumption 6 mace, weight 99 pounds, on coming into Gaol increased to 103 in the 3rd week, but was only 102 at the end of the 4th week. I have picked these cases out because these men were elderly, far above the average in the quantity of Opium they smoked daily, and were old Opium smokers; two of them lost weight slightly. One gains weight, none of them are ever on the sick list. No notice whatever was taken of their Opium habit, and they were not found to suffer in consequence. One would at least expect it would effect their nervous system in some way, when deprived of their Opium, if Opium smoking had any effect upon the system such as Opium eating has. From these and many similar cases, I have come to the opinions that I have stated; that Opium smoking has not so much effect upon the system of most Opium smokers as tobacco has on the majority of tobacco smokers; in fact that it is the more harmless vice of the two in this respect. Dr. KERR has not thought of any question pertaining to the subject that has not occurred to Mr. MCCALLUM and myself, and we hope to do more in the future towards solving the mystery.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 24TH MAY, 1884. 451

12.-Table XId. shews those Opium smokers who were admitted to the Gaol Hospital for treatment. The numbers given them on Table XIe. are given here for the sake of comparison. I do not find that e of the troubles they suffered from can be attributed to Opium smoking. There were no deaths mong the Opium smokers.

43.-If Morphia is being imported wholesale into China for the cure of Opium smoking, the sooner KERR calls the attention of the Anti-opium League to the matter, the better. The habit of eating Morphia. or Opium is more casily acquired, more fascinating, very much less easily given up, much more deleterious to mind and body, and very much less trouble than Opium smoking, all of which I can testify from personal experience.

44.-I would particularly impress upon the attention of all Medical men that its use is not required at all in the treatment or cure of a confirmed Opium smoker.

45.-I must here draw attention to the fact that the Opium smokers on Table XIc. who have not been placed in Hospital have to go through the ordinary Gaol Diet, which consists of five days' penal diet twice during the month, the penal diet being rice and water only, and besides that the eleven days interval of full ordinary diet differs in quantity according as they are long or short term prisoners, which in some cases sufficiently accounts for the rapid rise and fall between the different weeks, which otherwise might be put down to the deprivation of their Opium.

46.-From the facts here given it would appear that even if Morphia is inhaled with the smoke from the pipe, it cannot be absorbed into the system through the lungs, as it is when taken hypodermically or by the stomach, for none of all the Opium smokers who have been in Gaol have suffered

any shock from being deprived of the use of the drug, as is amply proved I think by the special observations I have made during the past three years.

47.--I am certain that no Opium eater, or any one accustomed to the use of Morphia by the stomach or hypodermically, could have been suddenly deprived of the use of the drug in this way, without shewing some effect, more or less serious.

TEMPORARY LUNATIC ASYLUM.

48.-Table XId. shews the number and nativity and diseases of the patients confined in this establishment during the year, and the length of their detention.

49.-One remained, admitted in 1882; eight were admitted during the year. Seven of these were discharged cured or relieved, and sent to their own country.

50.-The Temporary Asylum still remains in the wretched building described in previous reports. The new Asylum is however rapidly progressing and I believe will be finished before the end of the

year.

TUNG WA HOSPITAL.

51.--The total number of patients admitted to this Hospital in 1883 was 1,479. The total number of cases treated in the Hospital this year was 1584; of these 759 died.

The number of out patients during this year was 91,497.

The number remaining in Hospital at the end of the year was 84.

The number of moribund cases received was 358.

The number of cases admitted to the Small Pox wards of this Hospital during 1883, was 39, of whom 22 died.

The number of vaccinations successfully performed by the travelling Vaccinators of the Tung Wa Hospital during the year was 1,797.

LOCK HOSPITAL.

52.-One small house, and part of another near to the Civil Hospital are now occupied for the purposes of this establishment.

The new Lock Hospital, as I have already said, is occupied for the present as part of the Civil Hospital, pending the alterations being made in the old Lock Hospital to convert it into the Civil Hospital.

The houses thus occupied are the best obtainable, but it is unfortunate that there is no ground attached to them for the patients to get air and exercise.

Nevertheless, despite the inconvenience of these buildings. Dr. MARQUES the Superintendent has managed to render his patients as comfortable as possible, and there have been no complaints.

452 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 24TH MAY, 1884.

53.--Dr. MARQUES was twice sent over to Stone Cutters' Island in charge of Cholera patients there, and though there were but two mat huts in which they had to weather a stormy time, and were subject to some unpleasant privations, he performed his task with an energy and willingness and tact that cannot be too much commended.

In his absence, Dr. A. J. WHARRY, who was practising in this Colony, took charge of his duties at the temporary Lock Hospital.

54.-Table XVa. shews the number of admissions to Hospital, which was 273. It also shews the average number of days they were treated or detained, which was 12, the lowest average reached in the last twenty six years, which shews that the type of disease in the great majority of cases was not of a severe character, and this in spite of the number of women admitted being nearly trebled compared with 1882.

Table XVb. shews the number of women brought under the Provisions of the Contagious Diseases Ordinance.

No. 15d. shews the number of women treated in the Hospital, and the nature of the complaints treated. Only four cases of a constitutional character were under treatment during the year.

Table XVd. shews the number of women arrested, which was 201, and of those convicted, which was 158, as compared with 25 in 1382. Of these 46 were found to be diseased and were detained in Hospital.

Tabie XVc. shews the number of cases admitted to the different Hospitals.

The admissions to the Military Hospital were 153, as compared with 132 in 1882.

The admissions to the Naval Hospital were 225. Of these 65 cases were not contracted in Hong- kong, as compared with 168 in 1882, with 58 cases not contracted in Hongkong.

Of the Police 42 were admitted as compared with 40 in 1882.

In the Civil Hospital 93 men were admitted as compared with 124 in 1882. of men treated in all the Hospitals was 513, as compared with 569 in 1882.

The total number

Table XVe. shews the character of the diseases from which the men in the different Hospitals suffered, and their proportionate numbers, and the totals, as compared with the two previous years.

Table XVe2. shews the number of Naval Seamen out of the 225 who contracted constitutional disease, which was 32; of these cases only 8 were contracted in Hongkong.

Table XVe3. shews the number of the Military who contracted constitutional diseases in Hong- kong, which was 13.

55. Thus it is shewn that but a little over one per cent of the men contracted the peculiar form of disease that the Contagious Diseases Ordinance is meant to stamp out, and, so far, this Port shews a cleaner bill of Health in this respect than most Home Stations where the Act is in force.

But there is still a great amount of work to be done in Hongkong to stamp out the existence of sly brothels.

HEALTH OF THE COLONY.

56.-Table XVI. shews the Rate of Mortality among Europeans and American Residents in Hongkong during 1883, and for the previous nine years. The percentage to number of residents is 2.06, the lowest but 2 in the past ten years.

Table XVII. shews the mean state of the atmosphere during the year 1883.

The rain fall was 117.20 inches, the greatest rain fall in the past 9 years.

In August the rain fall was 24.42 inches, in September 26.70.

57.--I have given the tables of the death rates for the past cleven years ainong European and Chinese, as registered in Hongkong from diseases which may be caused by filth poison.

58.-These diseases, as I have pointed out in previous reports, present many similar characteristics, so that they are easily mistaken for one another by Chinese Doctors, which is evident from the way the numbers vary in different years without apparent cause.

59.-It will be seen from these tables that all have increased enormously of late years, and so prove that the sanitary condition of Hongkong, the City of Victoria especially, has greatly deteriorated, especially as far as Chinese are concerned, and appreciably as regards Europeans.

60.-Those that think sanitary work in Hongkong is being overdone are evidently ignorant of the want of it, and unaware of the mine that has been forming of late years, that some day may be sprung with most disastrous results. The report made by Mr. CHADWICK seems hardly to be appreciated by the general public.

The Sanitary Board is daily having dangerous nuisances brought to its notice which it is power- less to deal with, and until a new Building Ordinance, and others affecting the sanitation of the Colony are passed they will remain so.

•

During the Cholera scare, an order for a general clear-out of rubbish and filth in houses was made, and in eight days 54,800 piculs of filth were removed, most of which was of the most disgusting description, and raised quite an outcry of indignation in the Public Papers, when it appeared in the street, verifying the old proverb "What the eye does not see the heart does not grieve for." To shew how quickly this removal was made, in one day 11,000 piculs of this filth were cleared out of the Colony, and an average removal of 6,450 piculs made on each of the eight days.

61.-During 1883 Cholera appeared to a great extent in the neighbouring ports of Swatow and Foochow, and many ships were in quarantine in this harbour that had deaths on board from this disease. A slight revival of the previous year's epidemic appeared in the Philippines. It may again appear this year, and as this Port remains in many respects in the same unsanitary state as reported by Mr. CHADWICK and myself in previous years, it behoves the Government to take every precaution possible to prevent its appearance here.

62.--There seems how a chance in the near future of the markets becoming fit places to visit, without taking away one's appetite for food, and they may in time become as pleasant a sight as they are in Mauritius.

63.-As we have now a Sanitary Board composed of the Heads of the Public Works, Registrar General's, Police and Medical Departments, the responsibility of settling most questions of sanitation in the Colony does not rest chiefly with me, I am thankful to say, as it did in former years, for as I got very little credit for exposing the filthy state of things existing in this City, and was pretty much looked upon as a causeless alarmist, until my reports were verified by a Commission sent from home, so most of the blame would have fallen on my shoulders if an epidemic had appeared in these years, and then only these discoveries I reported had been made.

64.-In conclusion, I must add that now that Dr. DOBERCK has arrived in the Colony, the Meteoro- logical Observations will no longer be taken by this department, or in the rough and ready manner they have been up to the present, and coming as they will from a skilled workman will be very valuable, instead of being of very little value as heretofore.

166 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 24TH MAY, 1884.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 204.

The following Annual Report of the Superintendent of Botanical and Afforestation Departmen for the year 1883, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 22nd instant, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 24th May, 1884.

FREDERICK STEWART.

Acting Colonial Secretary,

BOTANIC Garden, HONGKONG, 30th April, 1884.

SIR,--For the information of His Excellency the Governor, I have the honour to submit the Annual Report on the Progress and Condition of the Botanical and Afforestation Department for 1883.

2. In compliance with instructions received in C.S.O. No. 89, and in fulfilment of a suggestion which I made in my letter No. 40 of 1882-C.S.O. No. 3,353-that I should furnish a "review of the works in afforestation during the last few years, and our present position and future prospects,' with regard to these works, I include a summary of afforestation works conducted since the commence- ment of 1880 up to the end of the year, 1883, under report, and in accordance with His Excellency's wishes, I attach maps of Hongkong and British Kowloon, on which are shown the situations and areas of cach year's works, to which I have added the woods which were in existence previous to 1878, and the lands which have been reserved and allotted for grazing purposes. I intended to have prepared this information for the report on 1882, but I could not possibly get time last year for its accomplishment while I was without the services of an European assistant to relieve me of a considerable amount of garden management which absorbed so much time. I should have liked to have also shown the proposed land which should be reserved for the production of grass for domestic and other uses in the Colony; but as my letter, No. 3, of January 10th last, in which the important subject of the control and regulation of grass-cutters was treated, is probably still under consideration, I have omitted the delineation of those lands.

GARDENS.

3. In addition to the usual routine work of the Gardens the chief extra work has been :-

4. The laying out of the new piece of ground between the New Garden plateau and Robinson Road. About two thirds of this has been laid out in two terraces. The upper terrace, which measures on an average 172 feet long by 105 feet wide, has been arranged as a nursery for the propagation and culture of plants in pots. To accommodate the plants nearly the whole space has been arranged in table like beds seven feet wide and two feet apart, raised by brick-work to “bout eighteen inches above the ground level. To this place most of the pot plants from the old nursery have been removed. The range of glass-roofed pits which was in the old nursery has been removed and placed in a suitable po- sition in this nursery. This arrangement permits of the nursery work being brought under a much more methodical system. The somewhat exposed situation at present is a great drawback to cultiva- tion, but as the bamboo hedges, with which the place has been surrounded, grow and thicken the in- jury from winds will much decrease. Below this is the second terrace which is about 195 feet long by 78 feet wide. This has been divided by three longitudinal and two transverse four feet wide, walks; the intervening areas will be used for the propagation and growth of plants in the open ground prepa- ratory to their being placed in the ornamental ground. New introductions will be acclimatized and proved here before they have permanent positions assigned to them. This terrace also is surrounded by bamboo hedges to shelter the plants from strong winds. The two terraces have been supplied with 900 feet of underground drains to carry off the surplus water during heavy rains. During the past nine months about 10,000 Eucalyptus trees have been reared here for planting on the hills. The re- maining third of the new piece of land is well in hand and will be completed during the present year. It will be laid out chiefly for the reception of a number of palms which are waiting for suitable accom- modation before they can be turned out of the pots which they at present occupy. The palm ground on the plateau is full and as there is no room for extensions on either side we must provide for the new introductions in the ground above referred to. If there had been room for the purpose it would have been much better to have had the palm collection all in one place than to divide it.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 24 MAY, 1884. 467

5. From the walk which passes through the lower section and connects the terraces with the pla- teau an excellent view of the harbour and of the palms and conifers is obtained. The position is a most suitable one for a kiosk, which I trust will in time be furnished both as a screen from sun and a shelter from rain to visitors. The Band Stand, which was, by the liberality of the Parsee Cominunity presented to the Gardens in 1866, is the only place in the Garden in which any one can take refuge if caught in a shower. It would be a great boon to visitors if two or three inexpensive summer houses could be placed in other parts of the Gardens.

•

6. During the summer the rockeries in the New Garden were slightly extended, and planted up in places where they had become bare, with ferns, bromeliads, and ornamental foliaged plants. As on many previous occasions, however, a great many of the most striking plants were stolen soon after they were planted. There are several kinds of plants that are desirable for rockery decoration, which in con- consequence of their attractiveness to unprincipled visitors it has been found cannot be retained in such

situations..

7. The sides of the walk leading from Glenealy Ravine to the Aviary were planted up with scita- mineous and amaryllidaceous plants, ferns and palins.

8. A slip of ground bordering a walk on the east side of the Garden was prepared and planted with shrubby and herbaceous Japanese plants, amongst which a few Hongkong plants were placed. These included Rhodoleia Championi and Gordonia anomala trees about 12 feet high. As this was the first time that these species, except as very small plants, have been transplanted it is useful and inte- resting to record the success of the operations.

9. The collection of Agaves and Aloes on the northern side of the lower terrace has been enlarged by the addition of several new species for which an additional piece of ground had to be taken in and supported by a retaining wall.

10. The changes indicated in par. No. 10 of my report for 1882 of the old nursery arrange- ments have been commenced. The whole of the plants were removed and the ground, which was on two terrace levels, was reduced to one uniform level. On this a new plant-house has been erected and filled with ornamental and interesting plants. The house is 48 feet long and 22 feet wide. The sides above the brick-work consist of netting made of quarter-inch wide split bamboo with three-quarter-inchi meshes. The roof, which is flat, consists of quarter-inch diameter bamboo wove together with coir string, the bamboos being about one quarter inch apart; this affords the requisite amount of shade for the plants. The roof which is 8 feet from the ground is supported by three-inch diameter water pipes built on end in the brick-work. The internal arrangement consists of a centre table seven feet wide and side tables three feet four inches wide and two feet six inches high, with four feet wide paths. I trust that subsequently we shall be able to erect two other structures, one about the same size and des- cription, and the other a glass-roofed one for the cultivation of maiden-hair and other fragile ferns, &c. which, without protection from heavy summer rains and parching and cold winter winds, cannot be satisfactorily cultivated.

11. The old wooden monkey and bear house which was in a bad situation and condition has been abolished and a new octagon one constructed in brick-work, with a galvanized iron roof; the front, three sides of the octagon, has been fitted with half-inch iron bars. The old arrangement had wire netting which was very trying for the eyes of visitors in attempting to see through it.

12. The fine plant of Bignonia venusta close to the new bear house has had a substantial new trellis provided for its support. The trellis is in the form of a broad archway which spans a walk; in its construction old three-inch-diameter iron water pipes have been used for the perpendicular supports of the wooden arch.

13. A considerable amount of returfing has been done in various places where the grass had become uneven and worn. In some places where grass-turf would not grow under the shade of trees a liliaceous plant named Ophiopogon has been used with good effect. This forms an agreeable dark green carpet and unlike grass, requires no mowing.

14. About 250 lineal feet of underground earthen-ware pipe drains which had become choked have been taken up and replaced with properly constructed brick drains with improved pipe-holes and grates, besides about 500 feet of other drains which were taken up and cleaned. A considerable amount of surface channeling has also been relaid. Nearly 5,000 square yards of walks received fresh surfa- cing of material, and the whole of the walks are in complete order. The walks with steep gradients ought to be concreted and surfaced with a thin covering of cement to save the endless work, which absorbs much time and is somewhat costly, in repairs after every shower of rain that carries off a large amount of the material. However, this cannot be accomplished for want of sufficient money. I money could be obtained at one time it would be soon saved by the cessation of such frequent repairs, and considerable economy would be effected in subsequent years, as conereted garden walks when one done would need little or nothing doing to them for a great many years.

468 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT. GAZETTE OF 24TH MAY, 1884.

15. In paragraph No. 6 of my report for 1881, I expressed a hope that I might be able to institute a system of plant sales on a small scale for the benefit of those desirous of obtaining plants from the Gardens who are not in positions to procure them by the ordinary means of exchange. Now that authority has been granted for the introduction of this system the propagation of a small stock of plants for sale has been commenced. It is not intended that any interference shall be made with the native nursery gardeners, nor that plants such as annuals, which every one can obtain seeds of by purchase from the stores, shall be sold, but only such as cannot be obtained elsewhere in the Colony.

16. In the Government House grounds two rockeries have been constructed near the entrance. 17. For the rockeries and all new planting works a large amount of soil from the hills has been supplied to replace a similar quantity of the bad soil which it was necessary to remove.

18. Several additions have been made to the number of varieties in the bamboo collection.

19. The collection of ferns in pots which has become of considerable extent requires an improved method of arrangement to display them to advantage. I hope, when means permit, to be able to effect this arrangement for their more complete inspection.

20. Three days on which there were average attendances of visitors were selected for taking their numbers. The average for each day showed the number of Chinese to bc 856 and of foreigners 400, total 1,256. These numbers do not include amahs and children.

21. Toward the end of the year the Public Works Department by repairing the landslip which occurred in the Glenely Ravine in 1881, again provided means of access which had been interrupted for two years, to the New Gardens from the Robinson Road.

22. In June last Mr. A. B. WESTLAND arrived from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, to take up the position of Assistant in this Department.

23. The Herbarium and Library has received constant attention whenever intervals could be devoted to them.

24. The following books were added

A Manual of Jurisprudence for Forest

Officers.

A Manual of the Land Revenue Sys-> tems and Land Tenures of British India.

Presented by the

Inspector General of Indian Forests.

Flora of British India, Parts 9 and 10, presented by Sir

25. The usual exchanges of plants and seeds have been made with the various establishments and persons mentioned below. The number of receipts was 1,029 plants, 128 bags and packets of seeds, 12 animals and 9 wardian cases, from 45 contributors.

26. Of plants sent out the number was 5,674, of seeds 36 boxes, bags, and packets, of wardian cases 14.

BOTANICAL INVESTIGATION AND PLANT COLLECTING.

29. In the month of August, accompanied by the Rev. E. FABER, I visited the Lo-fau-shan mountains, situated about 12 miles north of the East River and 50 miles distant from Canton, for the purpose of making an exploration and collection of its rich and interesting botanical treasures which had been repeatedly reported by travellers to exist there in abundance.

30. Having learnt from past experiences the advantages which the natives will take of a foreigner's helplessness if assistance is required to transport either himself or his baggage &c., I took the pre- caution of having several men from our regular staff with me, the wisdom of which was proved by subsequent events. As it transpired the presence of these men enabled me to take a very independent position when additional bearers were required, and their usual extortionate demands were made. was possible eventually to secure carriers at rates which were not excessively exorbitant. The passage from Canton to Sheklung was made in an ordinary Chinese passenger boat, the accommodation, which would be by no means pleasant for a lengthy journey, can be put up with for a short distance. From Whampoa to Sheklung the country is flat and well cultivated. Near Whampoa the crops consist chiefly of paddy, which, as we approach Sheklung, is replaced with sugar-cane (Sorghum). After disembarking in pouring rain at the busy town of Shcklung Mr. FABER and myself decided to make our way at once for the Lo-fau mountains and leave all baggage to be brought on by the coolies as quickly as they could follow us. The way, road it could not be called, lay across 12 or 14 miles of flat land, generally rice fields, over which we had to travel on intricate paths, as slippery as if they were greased, often not more than a foot wide, and standing a few inches only above the water with which the fields were inundated. We arrived at the foot of the hills in the evening and there, in a monastery, awaited the arrival of the coolies, who had all our clothing, provisions and other necessaries with them. However, as it turned out, the men did not arrive until after dark on the following day, the difficulties of the road having been too great for them to make a quicker journey, I need not describe the discomfort which Mr. FABER and myself had endured in the long and anxious waiting for their arrival. We would have sent a messenger back to ascertain the cause of the delay, but it was impossible

crops. to hire a man, the excuses made being that the people were all too busy with their

31. Having secured the use of a room in the Wong Lung Kun monastery, situated at about 600 feet altitude, a commencement was made the following day of the examination and collection of the mountain plants. As soon as the locality accessible from this station was systematically botanized a move was made to another centre, and so on successively to the end of the time. The highest station was 3,100 feet above sea level, from this I ascended the loftiest peak, which was found to be about 3,500 feet above sea level. The total number of stations staid at was six.

32. On the mountains themselves there is but very little cultivation, and what there is exists only to a very small extent close to the monasteries. On account of the steepness of the hills it could scarcely be otherwise. However, after ascending to a pass, 1,200 feet altitude, near the Cha Shan monastery, the road descended until it reached 800 feet above sea level, and on the side of the rod there is a considerable amount of cultivated land forming, with the hills rising on all sides to from

470 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 24TH MAY, 1884.

1,060 to 3,000 feet altitude, a very beautiful and prosperous looking valley, or kind of plateau. H as for 300 miles up the West River, the absence of forest scenery is painfully impressed on one.

When seen from a distance of several miles the mountains show a very small area of forest growth on them. However, in places where trees have been permitted to remain undisturbed by the reckless wood-cur they have assumed in many places noble proportions. These lovely and interesting exeptions to th bareness of the mountains are invariably surrounding monasteries secluded in sheltered and rich ravines, and they owe their preservation to the protection and fostering care of the priests. Even in spite of the sacredness of the localities the priests in some places complain of the troublesome people who frequently make raids on the priests' domains for the purpose of securing firewood.

33. The trees of Pinus sinensis adjacent to the Wong Lung Kun monastery are very fine indeed, but they are exceeded in magnificence by those of the So Liu Kun monastery, secluded at an altitude of about 800 feet, where six of them, within a radius of about 50 yards in a dense mixed forest of luxuriant trees averaged 11 feet 7 inches in girth at 6 feet from the ground, and about 150 feet in height. The largest of them was 15 feet 4 inches in circumference. A pine tree which had been blown down and was being cut up I measured and found its height to have been 102 feet, circum- ference at 10 feet from the ground 7 feet 10 inches, and it had 75 annual rings. Rivalling these were splendid trees of Mangifera indica, the Hog Plum, 11 feet in girth, Liquidumbar formosana 6 feet 2 inches, Litsa sp. upwards of 5 feet, and Paratropia cantonensis 4 feet 6 inches, the latter, which we are accustomed to see as a shrub only, was here, as will be understood from the girth, a large tree, and on its stem and branches were inuumerable epiphytal orchids. Amongst the trees were also exquisite specimens 80 feet high of Dr. HANCE's new palm Caryota ochlandra, the fibre from the leaf sheaths of which is used for rope making &c. On their stems at a great height from the ground were plants of the grand fern Polypodium coronans encircling the stems and forming most beautiful objects. Camphora Parthenoxylon was also here in abundance with stems nearly 9 feet in girth. The camphor trees bore on their stems and branches abundance of orchids of two species, which were probably Dendrobium japonicum and a Phallanopsis, living plants of both of which are now flourishing in our Gardens. A very fine tree of Celtis japonica had all its larger branches completely covered with the fine Malay orchid Dendrobium aggregatum and the Chinese Polypodium Fortunei; near here, also, were very fine specimens of the beautiful tree fern Alsopila spinulosa, which had been first discovered n China at this place by my observant companion the Rev. Mr. FABER, about three years ago.

34. In abundance near the mountain stream I noticed Viburnum Fordia, HANCE, which I first discovered on the West River in 1882, looking extremely beautiful with its branches laden and grace- fully drooping over rocks with the weight of its bright coral-red fruit.

35. Not far from the So Liu Kun monastery close to a village a magnificent specimen of the longan tree (Nephelium longan) had all its limbs and trunk covered and festooned with the epiplytal asclepiada- ceous plant Dischidia chinensis, which hitherto had not been seen out of Hongkong. The sight was exceedingly beautiful and one not likely to be soon forgotten.

36. During the expedition upwards of 850 living plants were collected, and 320 species were collected and dried for the herbarium and brought back to Hongkong. As the collections were made the boxes and packages of plants were despatched, a few at a time, in charge of a member of the staff to Hongkong, to avoid any suspicion or obstruction on the part of the natives, who, had they seen the whole collection leaving at one time, might have given some trouble to us.

37. Living and dried specimens of all the interesting plants have been sent to the Royal Gardens, Kew, from whence I have been favoured by the Assistant Director, Mr. THISELTON DYER with a report on them by Professor OLIVER.

IPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT. GAZETTE OF 24TH MAY, 1884. 471

40. From the discovery of this large number of species of plants which had hitherto been regarded asand inic in Hongkong we may suppose that most or all of our very rare plants, even Rhodolcia Champion, exist, probably in abundance, in some places on the adjacent continent.

41. The living plants introduced to cultivation by this expedition contain many things of very much interest which will be valuable acquisitions to gardens. A very fine Cyees, which is probably new, but which cannot be positively ascertained until flowers and fruits can be obtained, is now well established in the Garden, and is an object of at least as much beauty as any of the other fine species in the Cycad collection. Two fine Chiritas are also doing well, one of them bears a beautiful white flower with a yellow throat, and the other a rich dark blue or purple flower. Begonia sikkimensis is remarkable amongst Begonias from its deeply lobed leaves. A very fine conifer-Podocarpus argotœ- nia Hance--with silver white bands on the undersides of the leaves, was also secured at the top of the moun- tains. Two new species of dwarf Ardisias of the A. primulœfoliu type will also be attractive plants when producing their bright red berries. An ornamental leaved Zinjiberaceous (?) plant, very much in appearance like a Maranta will also be a serviceable addition to horticulture. A considerable stock of another plant of the same order as the last and named Phrynium barbatum was obtained. This should be a most useful plant for covering the ground under trees where the shade has become too dense for grass and many other plants to live. A suitable plant for this purpose has long been a desideratum.

42. A dwarf kind of bamboo is frequent on the mountains from which the natives make excellent brooms, which for many purposes are far superior to the split bamboo brooms universally used in Hongkong. I made arrangements with a priest to deliver a considerable number of plants of this bamboo, besides several of other kinds, in Hongkong during last February, but, I regret to say, the man has not kept his promise, although liberal prices were offered for the plants and his services.

43. Clethra Fabri, a shrub of great beauty when in flower, is well worth introducing, but no suf- ficiently small plants could be found to carry away, and the season was unfavourable for some cuttings which were tried.

44. A most elegant leaved Pterolobuim bearing large racemes of gorgeous bright yellow flowers was scrambling in the wildest luxuriance over bushes by the walk side. Neither seeds nor young plants of this could be procured, and, like Clethra Fabrii, cuttings would have been of no use.

45. It is to be hoped that an opportunity may be afforded of introducing the above three plants by a journey being made when seeds can be obtained of the two latter at least.

46. There are many useful, and interesting plants which I observed on the West River when there in May, 1882, which well deserve a second journey being undertaken so that seeds might be obtained of them at the proper season. Botanical expeditions cannot be rendered complete unless the districts visited can be gone over at least more than once so as to obtain plants in different stages of develop- ment in different seasons.

47. On the higher regions of the mountains a plant of great interest is found. This is a new species of Polophyllum, a plant of the same genus as that from which polophyllin the principle of the celebrated podophyllin pills is obtained. The natives attach great medicinal value to the plant, and probable with more reason than the value which is often ascribed by them to innumerable plants which they so freely use for all manner of complaints. Podophyllum peltatum, the source of Podophyllin, is an American plant, and it appears no species of the genus had been found in Asia until a few years ago Mr. WATTERS, II. M. Consul at Tamsui in Formosa, discovered one which Dr. HANCE named P. pleianthum. The Lo-fau species is the second Asiatic one. Both of them are in cultivation here now, two plants of the latter have just flowered for the first time in our Garden, where they have been growing for about two years. The larger one of the two has leaves two feet in diameter, and it is a striking and ornamental plant.

48. I noticed that nearly every garden contained a few specimens of the Chusan palm, Chamaerops Fortunei which the natives cultivate for the purpose of supplying themselves with fibre, obtained from the sheaths of the leaves, to fabricate water-proof capes.

49. Poulownia imperialis with its very large leaves, was a conspicuous object in one locality, although it did not attain to more than about fifteen feet in height.

50. With the exception of some healthy young plantations of Cunninghamia sinensis, the conifer which supplies China-fir for building purposes, I noticed scarcely any tree-planting operations. This is different to the case in the West River districts where the people devote" considerable care to the rearing of Pinus sinensis. The neglect of tree planting in one place, and the fostering of it in the other is probably accounted for by the facilities of getting the wood to market which is afforded by the splendid West River in the latter case, while in the former there is no river nearer than eight or nine miles to the nearest part of the mountains.

AFFORESTATION.

51. In this branch of the department I have to report another extension of operations. Last year I recorded a large increase over the previous year's work, but the work of 1882 was exceeded by about 60,000 trees in 1883. The planting season commenced at the end of January, and the last tree was planted before the end of July.

52. The total number of trees planted was 311,963, and 845,646 patches had seeds of the Chinese pine, the varnish tree, the tea-oil tree, and two species of oak sown in situ. The total is thus one million, one hundred and fifty-seven thousand, nine hundred and nine, i.e., sixty thousand in excess of any previous year. Of this number 272,234 were patches of previous year's sowings which were resown in consequence of a small proportion of patches having been washed out by heavy rains, and having suffered in periods of drought.

53. Most of the pine trees were reared and supplied by contract, under control. One of the contractors who was a man from whom great success was not expected failed to produce the number provided for in the contract, but the other contractor had a surplus which was in excess of the other ones deficit, therefore the whole number required was secured by taking over the surplus. The trees having been reared in new ground were very well grown, and after they were planted they continued to flourish with no failures.

54. The rest of the trees were all grown in our own nurseries, chiefly those at Soo-kum Po and Kowloon. The soil in the Kowloon nursery showed signs of impoverishment and a change of crops was made to allow the soil to regain its fertility. Although there is a large area of enclosed ground in the Kau-lung nursery there is only a small portion which is fit for rearing trees on. A very large portion is too swampy to be of any use, and some other parts consist of extremely poor soil, or are too much exposed to winds. The work of keeping the ground clear of weeds being very heavy, an arrangement existed with two or, three men for them to weed the portions under tree cultivation in return for the privilege of being allowed to cultivate for their own benefit for one season the portions from which trees have been lifted, thus preparing the land, after a year's vegetable growing, for other crops of trees.

of trees. Until the occupation of the Observatory these men were allowed to grow rice in the Swampy ground, but the Sanitary Department being of opinion that these paddy fields would be. inimical to the health of the occupants of the Observatory the privilege of cultivating rice has been withdrawn.

55. In the early part of the year a consignment of carob seeds-Ceratonia siliqua-was received from the Cyprus Government in response to a request which had been made for them. The seeds were sown in the Garden Nursery in beds during the dry season, and they germinated and grew wonderfully well until the summer rains set in, in May, when, owing to the excessive wet and heat combined a large number of seedlings perished. Of those which survived, 1,224 were transplanted during the summer to the hills where a piece of ground had been prepared for them by terracing, trenching and manuring. They did not endure the operation at all well, but there are a good many still alive, and these have made very fair growth.

56. A good supply of seeds of the Chinese varnish tree-Aleurites vernicia-was sown in 13,360 sites, two seeds in each, and the patches, about 18 feet apart, were distributed amongst patches at six feet apart sown with pine seeds. The seedlings from these are all doing well and they made

very satisfactory progress during the summer season. Should they continue to flourish the pine trees will be cut out when the varnish trees require their room. Even apart from the value of the oil which the seeds yield in abundance and which is in such great demand locally for oiling the wood of boats and other purposes the tree is a most desirable one to lend beauty to the landscape from its large light green foliage and pretty white flowers.

57. Two pieces of ground were terraced in the same way as is done in the Cassia Lignea districts and planted with some of the plants of the cassia tree which I brought back from the West River in 1882. The plants have established themselves and made excellent growth. It is possible that with careful management this tree might become of considerable economic importance here.

58. In the spring a Chinese gentleman from the cassia district of Loting brought me a nice lot of fresh seeds of cassia. These were sown and yielded a good supply of plants, some of which have been forwarded to the Singapore Botanic Gardens, and to the Royal Botanic Gardens at Calcutta, another case being ready for despatch to the Ceylon Royal Botanic Gardens. Both Dr. KING and TRIMEN requested a further supply to those which were sent before.

59. A few plants of both the Chinese and Indian tea plants were planted in prepared ground on the hills as an experiment.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 24TH MAY, 1884. 473

60. A stock of seeds of the Chinese tea-oil plant-Camellia drupifera-was obtained and 2,400 patches

sown with them. The seedlings survived the trying dry season and promise to do well. If we can succeed in establishing this plant it should be of much value, its products being largely used the Chinese. A number of plants which were reared in the garden and transferred to prepared round on the hills have done remarkably well.

61. The coffin-wood tree-Persea nanmu-in the garden continues to thrive. It has now reached 13 feet in height. From it we have again propagated a number of plants by layering, 16 of which Lave been planted out on the hill. Those which were planted the year before are very healthy and have made good progress.

62. Acorns of Quercus bambusafolia and Q. Harlandii have again been sown interspersed with pine seeds. When sown on the hills the growth is a great deal slower than it is in the nurseries, but it is too soon to form an opinion on their ultimate success. The nursery raised trees which have been transplanted are all making excellent progress.

63. The older plantations of pines which have become large enough to afford some shelter have received additions of two and three-year-old trees of Pride of India, Bischoffia javanica, Mallotus paniculatus, oaks, and rose-apples. These have all succeeded and will eventually with their different forms and colours of foliage afford pleasant variety to the plantations.

64. About one hundred and forty young trees of the Chinese water-cedar-Glyptostrobus hetero- phyllus were planted in the swampy ground at the circumference of the Race-course but during the last month or two buffalos got at and did much injury to some of them. A good many were also stolen immediately after they were planted.

65. In accordance with His Excellency the Governor's instructions, about 10,000 gum trees were reared for planting during this year. The result of the planting will be reported next year. They consist of about fourteen species most of them natives of Queensland. These kinds were selected because they would be more likely to succeed than those which are natives of the colder and more southern climates. It is almost impossible to raise and carry young gum trees through the rainy season, therefore the seeds are not sown until towards the close of it, a time which also brings the trees to fitness for planting at the right season in March and April if the rains set in sufficiently early for the operation. I much regret that our correspondents in Australia were unable to procure seeds of the lemon-scented-gum Eucalyptus citriodora-in sufficient time for sowing here.

66. The trees of the lemon-scented-gum which I gave the dimensions of in par. 27 of last year's report have continued to thrive, although the growth here cannot be compared with what it is in many other places. The trees are now 23 feet high and 13 inches in circumference of stem. They have gained five feet in height and three inches in circumference during the year.

67. Two of the Mount Gough and two of the Bowrington plantations were systematically thinned for the first time; 4,678 trees were felled and sold; they were sold as they stood, after having been marked, and the purchaser felled them and split the wood on the ground before it was resold for fuel.

68. All the woody creepers, which had begun to damage the trees, in the older plantations were cut during the dry season, and all of the troublesome creeper-Ipomaa tuberculata—which annually grows up and covers many of the trees and bamboo clumps in various parts of the Colony was cut and effort removed as far as possible. This plant becomes an exceedingly troublesome weed and every should be made to exterminate it in places where it can do any damage to trees.

69. The undergrowth in various places in the vicinity of houses has been thinned and reduced in height so as to provide a freer circulation of air and prevent an undue accumulation of decaying vegetable matter. This work was also done at the sides of the Peak Road and round the eastern side of the Happy Valley. At the latter place the thinning was much required to give room for the extension and development of individual trees of many interesting species in the wood which were rapidly being pushed out of existence by overcrowding. The finest wild camphor tree in the Colony which was completely hidden has thus been opened out to view. A large number of indigenous hollies will also now have a chance to become ornamental specimens.

70. During the year many clumps of bamboos which were planted about 15 years ago have flowered and afterwards, as customary after that effort of nature to reproduce itself, in the case of bamboos, died.

71. In the streets and roads there are upwards of 3.600 trecs under the management of this department, besides the various rockeries and ferneries. The trees are standing generally at about 30 feet apart and consist chiefly of "banians" Ficus retusa. These trees if at an uniform distance of 30 feet apart would represent an avenue of 10 miles in length. The whole of these have to be pruned about twice a year to keep them within bounds from interfering with adjacent buildings and to permit unimpeded traffic underneath them. I regret to say that every year secs a considerable diminution in

174 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 24TH MAY, 1881.

the number of the large trees in the streets, many have to be removed to make provision for the vacetion of verandalis, for strect alterations, &e.

ne years ago Queen's Road from the Clock Tower to lec House Lane was embowered with trees, now not one remains there. The long length of Queen's Road also from the Sailors' Home to the junction with Eastern Street was planted by myself in 1873, with the approval of the Surveyor General, Mr. MoonSOM, all of which trees have been removed. And so in other parts of the city. When verandahs are built over the pathways at the sides of the streets The only space available for trees is monopolized. Seeing that the facilities for tree cultivation in the streets are being lessened from year to year and that with the narrow pathways there is not sufficient space between the buildings and the trees for the proper development of shapely headed trees I would suggest that, if practicable, when new streets and roads are laid out, as for instance at the reclamation works at Causeway Bay, sufficient width should be given to the streets and roads to allow for the proper planting of shade trees. Also should the Praya extension scheme be carried out it might be considered whether a row of trees might not be planted along the centre of the roadway. On the side next to the sea-wall trees could not be well grown nor conveniently placed, and on the opposite side they would be likely to interfere with the houses, but in the centre of the road if the Praya be widened there would seem to be much in favour of trees being grown.

72. Owing to there being only one side, viz., towards the centre of the street in which the trees can extend, many of them from year to year, from the weight of the one sided head of branches, incline more and more from the perpendicular. Several large trees which in this way had become inconvenient and dangerous have been taken up and replanted in perpendicular positions, portions of the branches having been lopped to allow of its being effected. There are still a large number of trees which should be taken in hand and operated on in the same manner, a portion each year, beginning with those which incline the most.

73. The ferneries in the Glenealy Ravine and elsewhere which were planted a few years ago will be planted up during the present season with a quantity of indigenous ferns and other plants which have been specially prepared during the year for this purpose. The tree-ferns, which were short stemmed when planted, covered the soil with their low spreading fronds, but the stems having greatly lengthened the fronds are elevated a good distance above the soil, and consequently the latter has attained a somewhat bare appearance which the prepared plants will refurnish.

74. The cost of maintenance of the roadside rockeries is borne by the afforestation vote, but they need a somewhat more liberal amount to be expended on them, and some more freedom in the exercise of professional skill, than has been usual if they are to be raised to a higher standard, as they should

be.

75. To aid those people who might have been willing to plant on their own property nursery pine trees were offered free to them. A considerable number were applied for and granted.

76. Twenty-five wardian cases of trees were sent to Mauritius by request of the Government of that place, the Mauritius Government paying all expenses:

78. The number of prosecutions, chiefly for cutting trees and shrubs, was twenty-five, out of which twenty-four convictions were obtained. The fines inflicted by the Magistrates ranged in value from twenty-five cents to ten dollars.

79. There has been a great decrease in offences of tree-cutting. The past dry season has been noted for the least number of grass-fires which I remember.

80. Grass-cutting has been again a great drawback to tree cultivation. It would be much better if the grass could be allowed to remain on the ground so as to shelter the young trees, and to act as a fertilizer when decaying.

81. It appears that upwards of 22,000 piculs of grass are used annually in the Colony, and that this is retailed by the grass-dealers for about $10,000. We have no power to deal with or regulate the people who cut this large quantity of grass, and I would again strongly urge the importance of a favourable consideration of the recommendations which I made in regard to this subject in No. 3, dated 10th January last, so that, if possible, grass-cutters should be licensed for a nominal fee, so as to secure their proper control, and that reserves for grass-cutters should be set apart.

$2. Specimens of the woods of most of our indigenous trees were obtained, and, after nearly twelve month's seasoning, cut up into uniform sized blocks which exhibit the grain of the wood and the bark. These are set up in suitable stands for inspection in the Garden office. They are all labelled with their scientific names. A duplicate set was sent to the Royal Gardens, Kew, and another one to the City Hall Museum here.

84. The two maps attached represent the work of each year in distinct colours, commencing with the year 1880 and finishing up to the end of 1883. All plantations which were made before 1880, or which are indigenous, are coloured brown. Under each year I give brief notices, with references to the maps of the plantations made during that year.

1880.-Coloured Red.

85. A.-This is a strip on the southern side of Green Island bordering the walk from the landing place up to the lighthouse. In many places the trees are five feet high and flourishing. At the extreme easterly corner the winds have very much retarded the trees.

86. B.-A plantation on Mount Davis opposite Green Island. The trees are about six feet high and in excellent health.

87. C.-Between Belcher's Bay and Pok-fu Lam Road. These trees are from seeds sown in situ chiefly. In consequence of the thinness of the grass here there were a rather large number of vacancies which, however, have been filled with

nursery

trees.

88. D.-On the opposite side of the road to the last. This plantation is from in situ sowings also, and shows the great advantage of thicker grass for shelter, the trees having succeeded perfectly. This was the first experimental plantation of trees reared in situ. It contains about 11,000 trees, which are in vigorous health.

89. E.-A plantation extending from the Peak Road on the west to the Wan-tsai and Aberdeen Road on the east. The trees which were available for this were in ill condition for planting, and in consequence many had subsequently to be replaced, which has made the size of the trees appear some- what irregular, but the whole of the ground has now been filled up. In many places the trees are upwards of six feet in height and are all that could be wished. During 1883, a large number of other kinds of trees than pines were introduced to give variety to the appearance of the scenery. All of these are doing well now that the pines are sufficiently large to afford them shelter.

90. F.Situated to the south of Causeway Bay at about 700 feet altitude. Except on the south side of a ridge which is exposed to frequent and powerful winds the trees are doing well.

476 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOV" GAZETTE OF 24 MAY, 1884.

91. G.-This consists of two strips situated on the sides of the New Aberdeen Road, each strip is about 70 feet wide. The seeds were sown in situ and succeeded admirably except at the upper end of the plantation where the winds were too strong for the seedlings. All the gaps have been filled from the nurseries.

92. The hills on the eastern side of the Rifle Range at Kau-lung. At the southern end where the soil is extremely sterile and where the winds are strong the trees are stunted, but all the rest is now a thick mass of trees about seven feet high. A quantity of Pride of India trees was last year interspersed with the pines.

1881.-Coloured Green.

93. A.-This consists of the whole of Green Island except the portion planted in the previous year. All of it was sown in situ and except at the cast end have succeeded satisfactorily. The trees range from one foot to three feet in height.

94. B.--This occupies almost two thirds of Mount Davis and was all sown in situ. In valleys and depressions and places where the aspect was not to the south a very fair average succeeded, but on ridges and declivities with hot southern aspects the seedlings succumbed to the adverse conditions. The whole of the failures have now been planted up with strong trees.

95. B. 1.—Part of this was planted and part sown in situ. The plantation is a little irregular, the trees varying from one foot to three feet. On exposed ridges the winds haye retarded the trees, but in sheltered depressions they are progressing well. A grass-fire in 1882 decimated the plantation. 96. B. 2. On the eastern side of Mount Davis. These trees were flourishing perfectly until a grass-fire in 1882 destroyed nearly all of them.

87. C.-On high ground above Pok-fu Lam Road. All sown in situ and succeeding entirely. 98. D. From opposite Mount Davis on the upper side of Pok-fu Lam Road nearly to Douglas Castle. The ground is very stony, but there is a fair quantity of trees, probably 25 per cent of what

was sown.

99. E.--On the patch of bare red hill above the quarries near the end of Bonham Road. There are strong deflected winds here which are very trying to the trees, but the latter are progressing fairly

well.

100. F.-A large tract covering the side of Victoria Peak on the northern and western sides from the conduit to about 1,200 feet altitude. All sown in situ. This is one of the most successful of plantations, already the trees are plainly visible from the lower road.

101. H.-Situated to the west of the Mahomedan Cemetery in the Happy Valley. All of these trees are doing well.

102. I.-Bordering each side, for a width of about sixty feet, the Aberdeen and Wan-tsai Road on the southern slopes. These trees are doing well.

•

103. J. To the south-east of Causeway Bay extending from 100 feet to 900 feet altitude, sown in situ. This plantation has been eminently successful, except in a very few patches where the soil was shallow and where the winds have caught the trees on the crests of a few ridges. Nearly all of the few failures have been filled up with nursery trees.

104. J. 1.-Extending from the Tauist Temple at Causeway Bay to nearly the top of the hill on the east. The plantation has done extremely well and has already altered the appearance of the

once bare hill.

105. K.-A series of small plantations, all doing well, in the vicinity of the Causeway Bay Police Station and the North Point Battery.

106. L.-At Kau-lung on the hills behind the rifle butts. Excepting a good number of trees which were destroyed by grass-fires in 1882 and 1883 all are thriving.

107. M. N. & 0.-These consist of trees which were about four years old and. five feet high when planted. They all succeeded and have grown vigourously.

108. P.-Another grass-fire destroyed and injured about one quarter of the trees here; the remainder are all in good health.

1882.-Coloured Blue.

109. A.-A patch on the northern side of Mount Gough. The trees are all doing well.

110. A. 1., B. C. D. & E.-These are situated respectively to the south-east of Mount Kellet, east of Happy Valley, south of Happy Valley, south-east of Happy Valley and south-east of Causeway Bay, the three latter at high altitudes. All were sown in situ. None of them succeeded so well as could have been wished. The reason of this was chiefly a period of drought which succeeded the sowing of the seeds and which injured the tender seedlings by depriving them of moisture at a critical stage of their existence. Part of plantation D. however, which was fortunately situated where the soil is more than usually moist, pulled through and has since done very well.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 24TH MAY, 1884. 477

111. F-A plantation bordering the Limún Pass composed of trees which were three years when planted. It is in a very satisfactory condition.

112. G.-Bordering the Shau-ki Wan Road on the east of the North Point Battery. The winds here are exceedingly trying, but most of the trees, except in very exposed places, are doing well.

113. H. I. J. K. & L.-All at Kowloon, the four former in the valleys on the north-east of the and the latter north-west of the Hung-hòm Police Station. These were all sown in situ, range, and a fair percentage succeeded well.

114. M.-On the rough bare hills behind the Kowloon Docks. All planted trees which are thriving well.

1883. Coloured Yellow.

11-5. A.-A patch above the Pok-fu Lam Road Quarries in perfect order.

116. B-A perfect plantation made on the south side of the new Christian Chinese Cemetery near Mount Davis.

117. C.-Sown in situ at about 1,300 feet altitude on the west of Victoria Peak. All have succeeded well.

.118. D. On the upper side of the Peak Road commencing at 500 feet altitude and extending to the Gap. All have done well.

119. E.-The upper regions of Mount Gough, the Magazine Valley and the Wan-tsai Mountain. The success of the plantation is perfect.

120. F.-Bordering 60 feet wide on each side of the Mount Gough Road. Portions of the road are subject to high winds, which retard the trees in those places, but all are alive and most of them doing well.

121. G.-A considerable arca sown in situ to the north of Aberdeen. A good number were washed out by heavy rains, but the remainder look promising.

122. H.-The greater part of the area of the Wan-tsai Road Valley. All of these trees have succeeded.

123. I.-Behind the Buddhist Temple at Causeway Bay. This is a very favourable place for trees, being so well sheltered, and those planted have all succeeded.

124. J.—A kind of plateau on the Black Mountain. The plantation is perfect.

125. K.-A large piece of the hills on the east of Deep Water Bay. The in situ sown trees so far look favourable, but a good number of gaps should be made up next year.

126. L.-I regard this, the largest of in situ sowings, as one of our greatest successes under this system, the seedlings look very healthy and strong and all seem to have grown. It is situated on the north of Mount Parker, commencing near the Sugar Works and extending round to the eastern side of the mountain.

127. The planting of trees is done with probably not more than five per cent of losses. However, to secure this success the most careful daily direction and supervision of the operations is necessary. The selection of sites for plantations is very much dependent on the places which can be secured for nurseries, these are very few and often at great distances apart, and the plantations must be near the nurseries in order to minimise the carrying distances both for ecomony, and to insure the trees being as short a time as possible out of the ground.

128. Sowing in situ is done at less than one third of the cost of planting, therefore even if there are fifty per cent of failures in this system there is still a considerable gain over planting. In situ sowing only succeeds perfectly where the soil is good, where there is a rather luxuriant growth of grass to shelter the tender plants, and where the aspect is not too much exposed to the sun. situ work which has been done may be regarded on the whole as a decidel success, but the best of the sites have already been taken up, therefore future operations must be of less extent than past ones, while planting must be extended.

The in

129. A large number of trees reared in nurseries have each year been used to fill up vacancies in the in situ sowings of the previous year.

I have the honour to be,

Sir.

NOTICE.

FREDERICK STewart,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

Steps are being taken to erect a mast for hoisting storm-signals at Tsim-sha Tsui Police Station. In the meantime, whenever there are indications of strong wind, notice will be given to the Harbour Office, the Telegraph Companies, and to the Newspapers.

In the China Sea the earliest signs of a dangerous atmospheric depression are clouds of the cirrus type travelling from the East or thereabout, a slight rise in the Barometer, and light wind accompanied by a swell in the sea.

These signs are usually followed by a rapidly falling Barometer with increasing Temperature and Humidity, while the sky presents a threatening and vaporous appearance. When the wind rises, it veers or backs according to the part of the depression in which the ship is situated, and according to the course steered with reference to the centre. If the Barometer falls very rapidly, and the wind is steady but increasing in force, the ship is in danger of running into the centre of the depression. Masters of ships should bear in mind, that the wind is incurving at some distance from the centre and especially in the rear of a Typhoon.

Depressions may be encountered at any season of the year, but are very rare in winter and spring. They are most frequent in September. Typhoons cannot exist south of nine degrees northern latitude.

7. In the event of the said FRANCIS BULKELEY JOHNSON his executors, administrators or assigns making default in complying with the provisions in the last preceding section relating to the prevention of silting, or accumulation of mud, sand, or other watter around the wharves or piers, the Governor in Council, if satisfied after due enquiry made that the said FRANCIS BULKELEY JOHNSON his executors, administrators or assigns, has or have been guilty of the alleged default, shall make an order to be served on the said FRANCIS BULKELEY JOHNSON his executors, administrators or assigns, limiting a time for the performance of his or their duty in that behalf, and if such duty is not performed by the time limited by the order, the Governor in Council shall appoint some person or persons to perform the same, and shall by order direct that the expenses of performing the same, together with a reasonable remuneration to the person or persons appointed for superintending such per- formance, and amounting to a sum to be specified in the order, together with the costs of proceedings (if any) shall be paid by the said FRANCIS BULKELEY JOHNSON his executors, administrators or assigns, and any order made for the payment of such expenses and costs may be removed into the Supreme Court, and may be enforced in the same manner as if the same were an order of such Court.

SUPPLEMENT

To the HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE of 31st May, 1884.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 208.

The following Annual Reports on Elucation in Hongkong, for the year 1883, which were laid before the Legislative Council on the 29th instant, are published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 31st May, 1884.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

EDUCATION Department,

HONGKONG, 3rd April, 1884.

SIR, I have the honour to forward herewith the Annual Report on Education and the Blue Book Returns for the year 1883.

2. The total number of Schools, subject to supervision by the Government, amounted in the year 1883 to 87, as compared with 47 in the year 1878, and 36 in the year 1873. The total number of scholars enrolled during the year 1883 in Schools subject to supervision and annual examination by the Government amounted to 5597, as compared with 3152 enrolled in the year 1878, and 2280 enrolled in the year 1873. There are now 51 more Schools and 3317 more scholars under Government supervision than there were ten years ago. It appears that both the number of Schools under Govern- ment supervision in the Colony and the number of scholars attending such Schools have been more than doubled within the last decade.

3. The Schools subject to Government supervision and examination are popularly distinguished as belonging to two separate classes of Schools, viz. secular Schools and denominational Schools. This distinction is somewhat incorrect and requires, at any rate, considerable qualification.

4. The so-called secular Schools are Government Schools. They are now 39 in number and sub-divided into Government Schools properly so-called, and Government Aided Schools, that is to say, there are Schools (in town and in some villages), organized, controlled and provided for exclusively by the Government, and there are Schools (in some villages), organized and partially controlled by the natives, but aided by the Government (by a monthly grant of $5) and supervised by the Government. These Schools may, in one sense, be called secular Schools, because the predomi nating tendency of the teaching given in these Schools is iron-Christian, for the reason that hardly any of the parents of the children attending these Schools are Christians. But it should be kept in min`l that these so-called secular Schools, by using the ordinary text-books or classics of China, give not only a great deal of moral teaching in the sense of Confucianism, but serve also to propagate Chinese ancestral worship and even some of the superstitious tencts of Buddhism and Fauism. They are therefore not strictly secular but in one sense also denominational Schools, though they are popularly referred to as secular Schools.

5. The so-called denominational Schools, now 48 in number, are either Protestant or Roman Catholic Mission Schools, subsidized by the Government, as Grant-in-Aid Schools, by annual grants given on the principle of payment for definite results as ascertained by annual examination. These denominational Schools are certainly not secular Schools, because the predominating tendency of the teaching given in these Schools is decidedly Christian. But it should be kept in mind that, under the revised Grant-in-Aid Code, which entirely excludes all distinctions of secular and denominational or religious teaching, the Government subsidizes all these Schools without regard to any kind of religious teaching, simply and solely in proportion to the actual results obtained in the following subjects, reading, writing, arithmetic, grammar, geography, history, composition, algebra, geometry, etc., that is to say, in secular subjects only. As Grant-in-Aid Schools, these Schools might therefore, in one sense, be called secular Schools. It must be further understood that all those Grant-in-Aid Schools which give a Chinese education in the Chinese language, being attended by the children of non-Christian Chinese parents, use the ordinary Confucian text-books, the contents of which urge the duties of ancestral worship and the precepts of Confucian morality. Those Chinese school books which contain Buddhist and Tauist teaching are not used in any of these denominational Schools, but the Confuci text books are used side by side with Christian books. It will thus be seen that the popular distinction of secular and denominational Schools is somewhat vague under the circumstances.

496 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 31ST MAY, 1884.

6. The number of scholars attending the foregoing two classes of Schools, Government Schools and Grant-in-Aid Schools, are well worth comparing, as a practical illustration of the comparative favour the two classes of Schools meet with on the part of the general public of the Colony. The attendance of a School is generally a reliable indicator of the extent to which that School meets a public want.

7. Referring then, in the first instance, to the Government Schools, or so-called secular Schools, I find we had in the year 1883 in 39 such Schools 2080 scholars, as compared with 30 such Schools and 2101 scholars in the year 1878, and 30 such Schools and 1838 scholars in the year 1873. The present attendance of these secular Government Schools is, therefore, less now than what it was five years ago, and, although since then 9 additional Schools of this class were opened, the present attendance exceeds that of ten years ago merely by 342 scholars. Yet many of these Government Schools have plenty of room to spare, while the Grant-in-Aid Schools are all over-crowded. If the proposed new Central School building had by this time been completed, some 300 scholars would have been added to the number now attending Government Schools. But even this contingency would not have materially altered the aspect of the case as compared with the case of the Grant-in-Aid Schools.

8. The denominational Grant-in-Aid Schools had, in the year 1883, an attendance of 3517 scholars in 48 Schools, as compared with 1021 scholars in 17 Schools in the year 1878, and with 442 scholars in 6 Schools in the year 1873. There was, in fact, from year to year, a steady increase of scholars attending these denominational Grant-in-Aid Schools during the last ten years, whilst the Government Schools, though increased in number, have made but little progress as far as the attend- ance is concerned. I mentioned above, that the number of scholars attending Schools under Govern- ment supervision has been more than doubled during the last ten years. may now add, that this important result is entirely due to the working of the Grant-in-Aid system.

9. It is a patent fact that this Grant-in-Aid scheme, which was originally devised by Mr. F. STEWART, on the basis of the Education Act of 1871, has met with a most remarkable success, and has practically proved itself peculiarly well adapted, in many respects, to the educational requirements of both the European and Chinese communities of Hongkong. But, such being the case, the question naturally suggests itself, whether the system of subsidizing Schools on the basis of definite results, as it is more acceptable to the people, is also less expensive to the Government than the system of provid- ing all the expenses as in the case of Government Schools. This is an important question, for, if the Grant-in-Aid system should prove to be cheaper, the further question would at once arise, whether the system of Grants-in-Aid might not be extended so as to apply it to the so-called secular Schools as well as to the denominational Schools.

10. The expenditure involved in the maintenance of our 39 Government Schools with 2080 scholars amounted, in the year 1883, to $18,680., or $8.38 per scholar. This amount does not include the original cost or annual repairs of School-buildings, nor does it include any extraordinary" expenditure, nor the cost of the Inspectorate of Schools, the latter being provided for the inspection of both secular and denominational Schools.

11. In the 48 denominational Schools we had, in the year 1883, a number of 3517 scholars under instruction, at a cost, to the Government, of $13,754.8%, or at the rate of $3.33 per scholar. This amount does not include the cost of the Inspectorate of Schools, nor an extraordinary building-grant of $6,000 given to one of these Schools, nor does it include the money spent on these Schools by the various Missionary Societies supported by contributions from Europe.

12. It is evident, therefore, that the Grant-in-Aid system is considerably chcaper for the Govern- ment, and we have therefore to face the question, sooner or later, whether the application of the system of payment for definite results might not be extended to the Government Schools and Government Aided Schools. As regards those Government Schools and Government Aided Schools which give a purely Chinese education in the Chinese language, the Grant-in-Aid system might be applied to those of this class of Schools which are situated in town or in some of the largest villages, but it could not be applied, without injury to the educational interests of the poorer classes, to the small village schools where the daily attendance is too small and too irregular to admit of a system of payment by results. As regards those Government Schools, however, which give an English education there are far more difficulties in the way. English teaching, to be thorough, requires a staff of trained English masters who have to be imported and kept at a great cost. English teaching also requires a comparatively larger staff, more expensive materials and larger house-accommodation than Chinese teaching. Owing to this inherent costliness of English teaching, all Schools in the Colony, which teach English or which, like the Central School and five other Government Schools, or like the Hongkong Public School, give an English education with Chinese teaching in addition, are far too expensive, to derive very much benefit from the Grant-in-Aid system at its present rates of payment.

13. The only way to apply the Grant-in-Aid system to such English-teaching Schools like the Government Central School or the Hongkong Public School, appears to me to be as follows. Let the Government supply first of all solid and commodious new School-buildings. Next, let the fees at

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 31ST MAY, 1884. 427

•

present charged in these Schools be raised. Let there be a corresponding increase in the value of passes, under the Grant-in-Aid system, as regards Schools which give an English education in the English language with Chinese teaching in addition. Then let those Schools be handed over, buildings and all, to the exclusive management of a representative Municipal School-Beard, the Government paying thenceforth only an annual grant as earned each year under the provisions of the revised Grant-in-Aid Scheme.

14. This may, at first sight, appear to be a revolutionary scheme, but I believe it is but fore- shadowing the line of development which the natural growth of the educational system of our Colony is sure to follow sooner or later. The same tendency is at work in other Colonies where the same Grant-in-Aid system has been worked, as here, side by side with Government Schools. For instance, at the prize-giving of a Grant-in-Aid School in Colombo, the Lieutenant-Governor, the Hon. Sir JOHN DOUGLAS, made lately the following remarks as reported by the Ceylon Times of 20th December, 1883. "We are having it in contemplation to withdraw, as far as the Government is concerned, from any active interference with education, otherwise than education in the vernacular, in these large centres of population, and therefore it becomes of special interest to us to ascertain whether institutions like this, which are worked upon the Grant-in-Aid system, are ready and able, when the Government Schools are discontinued, to take the place of the institutions that we have been supporting entirely at the cost of the Government."

15. The proportion of boys to girls enrolled in the Schools under Government supervision, is also a point requiring to be kept in view. In the year 1883 there were on the rolls of these Schools 4120 boys and 1477 girls, as comparel with 2574 boys and 578 girls enrolled in the year 1878, and 1978 boys and 304 girls enrolled in those Schools in the year 1873. This shows a satisfactory progress made in extending education gradually also to the female population of the Colony. And again I have to observe that the progress thus made is chiefly due to the working of the Grant-in-Aid system. Of 28 Girls-schools under the supervision of the Government, only one is a Government School. All the others are denominational Schools, started by the various Missionary Societies in the Colony, and now subsidized by the Government on the principle of payment for definite results. But although much progress has undoubtedly been made in the direction of extending education to the girls of the Colony, much remains to be done. The proportion of male and female children of school-going age living in the Colony is, according to the census of 1881, tolerably equal. Yet the above given figures show that the proportion of boys to girls in school was, in 1883, about 1 girl to 3 boys. This is a great improve- ment, as compared with former years, the relative proportion of girls to boys in school having been 1 to 4 in 1878, and 1 to 6 in 1873. Nevertheless it appears from this very likely that a vast majority of the 12,980 children of school-going age, who remain at present in the Colony uneducated (Table XVI), consists of girls. If they are to be brought under the influence of education, an effort will have to be made to bring all the purchased servant-girls, who as a rule remain uneducated, by compulsion into the Schools of the Colony.

16. As regards the nature of the education given in the various Schools at work in the Colony in the year 1883, I am able to give this year tolerably complete statistics, as through the courtesy of the Registrar General Mr. STEWART, a census of Chinese Schools, not under Government supervision, was taken through the District-watchmen. Including thus all known Schools in the Colony, viz. 190 Schools with 7758 scholars, the case appears to be as follows. There were, in the year 1883, as many as 159 Schools at work giving 5681 scholars a Chinese education in the Chinese language. In about one third of this number of Schools, however, the Chinese education given is of a Christian character. There were further 15 Schools with 725 scholars giving an English education in the English language. There were 9 Schools with 991 scholars giving an English education in the English language with Chinese teaching in addition. There were 3 Schools with 197 scholars giving a European education in the Portuguese language. There were 3 Schools with 146 scholars giving a European education in the Chinese language. There was, finally, 1 School with 18 scholars giving a European education. in the French language.

17. As regards the Government Central School, the report of the Headmaster speaks for itself and leaves little for me to add. The examination held by myself, on the principles indicated in last year's Report, showed that the School has made good progress. Out of 365 boys examined in the English Division of the School, as many as 353 or 97 per cent. passed. Comparing the detailed results obtained this year with those of the previous year, I find special progress has been made, in the year 1883, in the teaching of grammar and in map-drawing and geography. But whilst the results obtained in all Branches of the teaching given in the School are highly creditable to the Headmaster and his staff, aud seed in the aggregate those of the previous year, there has been some falling off in arithmetic in Classes V, VII, VIII and IX), in translation from Chinese into English (in Classes II, VI and VII) and in dictation-writing (in Classes I, IV, VIII and X). As regards the Chinese Division of the School, there has also been some improvement, as compared with the results of the previous year, for cut of 321 boys examined, 223 or 69 per cent. passed. This apparently low percentage of passes is on the whole satisfactory, all circumstances considered, because but little time can be spared for Chinese tudies. The examination of the Anglo-Chinese Department showed somewhat better results than last

498 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 31ST MAY, 1884.

year, but both this Anglo-Chinese Department and the Chinese Division labour under the disadvantage. disheartening to the teachers, that the majority of the scholars in these two sections of the School attach comparatively little or no interest to progress in Chinese studies, and do not, therefore, give to them the same application or anything like the zeal with which the same scholars approach their English lessons.

18. The subjoined Tables exhibit, in detail, the results obtained by my examination of the Several sections and classes of the Central School both in English and Chinese subjects:-

19. The Government Normal School has been closed. The Principal, Mr. MAY, has been trans- ferred to strengthen the staff of the Central School. Two of the former students of the Normal School are now employed in the Colony as teachers in English Schools, and one has been appointed interpreter, in the local Sanitary Department. The remaining four students of the Normal School entered a Hospital of the Chinese Government at Tientsin as medical students.

20. The Anglo-Chinese Schools of the Government, located at Saiyingp'ún, Wántsai, Stanley and Wongnaich'ung have shown good results in the year 1883 as formerly. But the working of the Government School at Yaumáti has been very unsatisfactory both in its English and Chinese teaching. The people living at Yaumáti, mostly boat people, appear to have as little desire for English teaching

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 31st MAY, 1884. 499

as those at Shaukiwán, whilst the Chinese Schools in the same places are crowded with eager scholars. The Headmaster of the Central School, who acted as. my locum tenens during my absence on leave, examined three of these Government Schools which are doing the same work as the corresponding classes of the Central School, and the following is the result stated in his own words. "Sayingprún. Out of 52 boys examined in Standards I, II and III, 49 passed, the three failures being in Standard I. Of the total number none failed in reading, 3 in dictation, 8 in arithmetic; of the 32 examined in geography 1 failed; while the 9 that presented grammar all passed with great credit. The whole School gave evidence of a very thorough education and obtained a remarkably high average of 'very good' marks, which were in fact much in the majority. This, taken together with the excellent discipline maintained by Mr. FUNG Fu throughout the year, places his school far ahead of the other Government District Schools; and it is much to be regretted that he has not a more commodious and healthy building in which to give his abilities freer scope.-Wántsai. Out of 63 boys examined in Standards I, II, III and IV, 56 passed, there being 4 failures in Standard I and 3 in Standard III. Out of the total number 4 failed in reading, 9 in dictation, 17 in arithmetic; of 20 who offered gram- mar, 2 failed, while 6, that presented geography, all passed. With the exception of arithmetic the above results are very good; and in comparing it with Saiyingp'ún, it must be borne in mind that all the scholars here devote half their time also to Chinese studies, while at Saiyingprún only about half a dozen do so.—Wongnaich'ung. This School consists of 26 boys. All were examined in Chinese and did very well; 17 were presented in English subjects, in Standards I, II and III, and all passed with the exception of one boy in Standard I. Of the total number (17) all passed well in reading, 3 failed in dictation, 7 in arithmetic; while of the 6 that presented grammar, only one failed. These results, arithmetic excepted, are good; the master, therefore, deserves great credit as his village boys are inferior in quality and sharpness to town lads."

21. The work of those Government Schools and Government Aided Schools, which give but a Chinese education in the Chinese language, has continued during the year 1883 its usual course. There is nothing in connection with these Schools that calls for special remarks except that these Schools, lacking the stimulus which the system of payment, by results gives to the energy of the teacher who receives as a personal bonus one fourth of the grant earned by the School, have been left far behind in the race for efficiency of teaching by the Grant-in-Aid Schools. Nevertheless, the work done in these Government Schools and in some few of the Aided Schools is satisfactory in its way. But a few of the Aided Schools, and especially those at Táit'ámtuk and Wongmákok, have shown such poor results that, unless a considerable improvement takes place as regards the regularity of attendance in the course of next year, the grant will have to be withdrawn, as not sufficiently appre- ciated by the parents who frequently prefer to send their children out to work instead of leaving them to attend school.

22. With reference to the denominational Grant-in-Aid Schools, all the details, such as I have given above with regard to the Central School, will be found collected in the Tables accompanying this Report, viz., in Table XIII showing the number of scholars who passed or failed in each Standard, as well as the amount of grant earned in each case; in Table XIV, which exhibits the percentage of scholars who passed in each School; also in Table XV, which shows the percentage of passes obtained by each of these Schools in specified subjects. There are but a few of these Schools, beside some general points connected with the Grant-in-Aid system, which call for special notice.

23. The work done by St. Joseph's College, in the year 1883, has been marked by considerable improvements achieved. A special class was formed of boys who had passed the highest Standard of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme, and in this class the following additional subjects were taught, viz., geometry, algebra, mensuration, trigonometry. A Master teaching the Portuguese language was also provided, and arrangements were made to strengthen the staff of the College still further by the addition. of some English-born-masters. The results of the teaching given in this special class were not tested by me under the Grant-in-Aid Scheme, as it does not provide grants for such higher education, in the case of scholars who have already passed the highest Standard of the Scheme. I had, however, an opportunity of testing the results obtained in the English branches of the education given in this special class, when some of the students in this class submitted to a competitive examination for the Belilios Scholarships. The results obtained by this examination were, on the whole, very creditable to teachers and pupils. As regards those classes of St. Joseph's College which were examined by myself in the usual way, the improvement exhibited by the results was very marked and extends, with a few slight exceptions, over the whole range of the education given in this School. There was in the first instance, renewed progress made as regards the number of days on which the School was at work during the year 1883, viz., 244 days, as compared with 234 days in 1882, and 203 days in 1881. A reference to Tables VII and XII will show that St. Joseph's College has done better, in this respect, in the year 1883, than the Government Central School, which was at work only 236 days in the Great efforts were also made by the Headmaster of St. Joseph's College, to improve the regularity of attendance on the part of the scholars, by refusing the scholars leave of abunce pxcept on urgent grounds and by reminding the parents frequently of their duties in this respect. The result was that. whilst in 1882 out of a total of 342 boys on the roll only 191 attained the prescribed number of daily

year.

500 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVE GAZETTE OF 31ST MAY, 1884.

attendances, the same number of daily attendances was far exceeded in the year 1883 by as many as 205 boys out of a total of 305 boys on the roll. This shows good progress made, but it shows also that there is still much room for improvement in this respect. I am satisfied that the Headmaster and staff of St. Joseph's College have done everything in their power to urge greater regularity of attend- ance upon the scholars of St. Joseph's College, but, apart from the carelessness of many parents, questions of health and climate affect the regularity of attendance far more in the case of Portuguese children than in the case of Chinese. As regards the number of passes obtained, some progress has also been made in the year 1883. In 1882, out of 191 scholars qualified for examination, 158 were examined and 145 or 91.13 per cent. passed. In 1883, out of 205 scholars qualified for examination, as many as 196 were examined and 180 or 91.83 per cent. passed. The number of passes gained in 1883 would have been far greater but for some carelessness shown in composition by the second class (Standard V). But this class, together with the first class (Standard VI), is a good instance of the general improvement effected in the College in the year 1883. For in 1882 only 18 boys could be examined in Standard V and only 5 boys in Standard VI of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme. But in the year 1883, as many as 26 boys were examined in Standard V and 18 boys in Standard VI. Again, in the year 1882 the percentage of passes gained in composition amounted to 90.47, whilst it amounted to 91.94 per cent. in the year 1883 There is naturally room for improvement in the method and in the amount of time applied to the teaching of English composition, which is always a subject of extra- ordinary difficulty when, as in the case of this School, the vast majority of the scholars hardly ever hear English spoken outside the schoolroom. Good progress has been made also in the teaching of geography and history. The results obtained in reading and grammar were not as good as those obtained in the preceding year, in which the highest possible marks were obtained in these two subjects. In arithmetic there was some falling off in the year 1883, the relative percentage of passes obtained in this subject having been 83.89 in the year 1883, as compared with 90.05 per cent. obtained in the year 1882. The Portuguese community in the Colony appear to have taken somewhat more interest than formerly in the problem of finding the method of education most suitable for the peculiar circumstances of the Colony. It seems to me that the same conviction has dawned upon the minds of some Portuguese residents, which has of late years forced itself upon Chinese parents in Hongkong, viz., that, in the case of children of aliens growing up in this Colony and hearing no English spoken in their own homes, the most effective education is that which gives such children first 3-4 years' schooling in their own respective mother-tongue before they are put to English studies. On this principle, the Portuguese language is now taught in three cleinentary Grant-in-Aid Schools under the management of Bishop RAIMONDI, and arrangements were made about the end of the year by Father BURGHIGNOLI to place a fourth School of this class under Government supervision. The education of the Portuguese youth in this Colony is evidently now in a very fair condition.

24. The Hongkong Public School was, during the year 1883, withdrawn from Government supervision. The published report of the School states the reason in a concise and instructive manner in the following words. "The School is no longer under Government inspection. Large numbers of pupils and comparatively small expenditure are conditions under which Government inspection would prove a real help. This School cannot expect large numbers of pupils and yet the expenses are very heavy. The Grant-in-Aid, therefore, was so inadequate, that it did not seem worth while to bind down the Headmaster to the arrangement of hours and lessons required by the Government as a condition of competing for it."

25. Two Belilios Scholarships were awarded by competitive examination to pupils of St. Joseph's College and two were given to pupils of the Government Central School on the basis of the results achieved in the general examination for the year 1883. These four Scholarships aim at promoting a knowledge of the English language and are well calculated to induce boys, who would otherwise leave school before their English education is perfectly finished, to attend the higher classes of these Schools for some time longer. Mr. BELILIOS has further shown his liberality and the great interest he takes in the promotion of education by making arrangements for giving annual prizes (in the shape of silver medals and other gratuities) to the best scholars of every Girls-school in the Colony.

26. As regards the vernacular Grant-in-Aid Schools, all details will be found in the Tables annexed to this Report. That portion of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme which refers to this class of Schools, has cnce more been revised with a view to reduce the value of the passes in the various Standards, so as to make it impossible for any of these comparatively inexpensive Schools to earn an amount of grant exceeding their average expenditure. Notice has been given of all the alterations made in the provisions of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme, but the revised scale of grants will not come into force until the year 1881.

27. The needlework of the Grant-in-Aid Schools was examined this year by a special Committee of Ladies which Lady BowEN very kindly formed and presided over. The needlework of 27 Girls- Schools which receive a Grant-in-Aid was brought together and submitted at one and the same time to the examination of this Committee. The Italian Convent School naturally distinguished itself by the superiority of its artistic embroidery. The Committee, however, very justly proceeded to classify the work done by the Schools on the principle that needlework of general utility should, in the case

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 31ST MAY, 1884. 501

of grants from public funds, be classed higher (cæteris paribus), than work which serves but purposes of luxury or decoration. Articles of clothing or of domestic use had therefore, when the work was well executed in detail, a comparatively higher value assigned to them, than decorative embroidery. Another guiding principle adopted by the Committee was to take the age of each individual scholar presenting a piece of work for examination as the basis on which to adjudge the relative merit of care and skill exhibited by the execution of the needlework in question. No preference was given to the European style of sewing as compared with the Chinese mode of sewing which differs somewhat, owing to the peculiar shape and manipulation of the ordinary Chinese needle. The sum total awarded was about the same as that awarded in former years. The Committee was, on the whole, well satisfied with the quality of the needlework done in the Grant-in-Aid Schools of the Colony. On a future occasion an attempt will be made, if practicable, to exhibit the collected needlework of all the Grant- in-Aid Schools in some public building for a day or two, so as to afford the Managers and teachers of the Schools concerned an opportunity to compare the style and quality of the work of their own respective Schools with that of the work done in other Schools.

GOVERNMENT CENTRAL SCHOOLS,

HONGKONG, 22nd January, 1884.

SIR,I have the honour to forward the Annual Report and Returns for the Blue Book of the

year 1883.

1. There has been a marked improvement in the English subjects, composition, grammar and history.

2. English grammar is now taught in the School so low as the 9th class, so that out of 365 boys presented for examination, no less than 286 were examined in grammar, and 213 passed. From this it may be reasonably expected that in the next year or two there will be considerable advance in the knowledge of grammar throughout the School up to the highest classes.

3. Great progress may be noted this year in the algebra and Fuclid of the first class, which were only restored to the time table in the middle of 1882.

4. All the Masters and Teachers of the School deserve the warmest acknowledgment of their successful services in the past year; in which Mr. G. CHAPE must not be overlooked, as for 10 months he was an Acting Master in the 5th and 6th class during Mr. ARTHUR's absence at the Magistracy, and devoted himself with great zeal and energy to his work; Mr. MAY was appointed to be an extra Master in October, and assisted me with the lower half of the first class, thus enabling me to devote more attention to the upper half, which division has resulted in only one failure out of the 29 boys of the first class present at examination, as against 10 failures out of 34 last year.

5. In August last, when Acting Inspector of Schools, I observed some boys at the Government District Schools at Saiying-p'ún, Wantsai, &c. who possessed a suflicient knowledge of English to do themselves credit by a more advanced course of study at this school. I found, however, on enquiry that a small fee of $1 a month was the deterrent, I therefore suggested to the Government that 4 boys from these five schools should be elected annually by competition to free education at this school; provided that there should not at present be more than 12 such free scholars at any one time. His Excellency the Governor was pleased cordially to approve of my suggestion; four boys were then im- mediately elected, three from Saiying-pún and one from Stanleyy all of whom have passed a creditable examination in the 5th and 6th classes, one boy obtaining the first prize in the 6th class.

502 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 31ST MAY, 1884.

6. At the half-yearly examination held by me in July, out of 383 boys examined, 371 or 97 per cent. passed.

7. Translation from and into English is now taught throughout the School; marks for writing are therefore only allowed in the Preparatory School.

8. It has hitherto been the custom for boys leaving this School to be content only with immediate salaries as clerks and to despise any opening that entails manual labour; but in the past year about 6 boys have apprenticed themselves to the Hongkong and Whampoa Dock Company, and I understand from the Secretary, Mr. GILLIES, that they are giving satisfaction.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 209.

The following report from the Government Astronomer for the month of April, 1884, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 31st May, 1884.

HONGKONG OBSERVATORY.

Weather Report for April, 1884.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary,

In the China Coast Meteorological Register, based on information transmitted by the Great Northern and the Eastern Extension Telegraph Companies-which I have published daily, is given a summary of the atmospheric circumstances in Manila and along the Coast of China as far north as Shanghai. It also contains information concerning the weather prevailing in Nagasaki and Wladiwostock.

At the beginning of the month the Barometer was rising and the Temperature and Humidity falling. Gradients indicated moderate Easterly winds, which rose to a NE. gale accompanied by a high sea and rainy weather. On the 3rd a change set in, the Barometer fell, the Temperature and Humidity rose, and gradients indicated light winds. The Barometer continued low, the Temperature was rising, and rainy weather, with much fog at sea, continued up to the 7th. Gradients indicated calm s or light Westerly winds. On the 7th the Barometer began to rise, the Temperature and Humidity fell, and Gradients indicated Easterly winds. Fresh NE. breezes were followed by a high sea on the 9th and 10th at a distance from the shore. On the 10th the Barometer fell and continued thereafter steady up to the 20th. The Temperature rose on the same day. Gradients indicated calms or light winds. The sky was overcast from the beginning of the month up to the 15th, when it cleared partly. On the 20th the Barometer fell (but rose again on the 22nd) and the Temperature and Humidity rose. This was followed by light winds, with much fog at sea. Gradients indicated light Westerly winds up to the 27th. On the 27th the Barometer rose, the Temperature and Humidity fell, and the wind rose to a gale from NE. indicated by the Gradients. On the 28th, the wind calmed down and the Barome- ter fell.

The Barograph and the Standard Barometer at the Observatory are placed 110 feet above Mean Sea Level. The bulbs of the Thermograph Thermometers are 111 feet above Mean Sea Level and 6 feet above the ground. They are exposed in an unpainted and double-louvered zinc screen fixed to the north wall of the main building in a shaded position. The Solar Radiation Maximum Thermome- ter is 109 feet above Mean Sea Level and 4 feet above the ground, and the Terrestrial Radiation Mini- 'mum Thermometer is about one inch above the ground. They are placed over dry earth, as the ground round the Observatory has not yet been turfed. The self-recording Rain-gauge is placed 106 feet above Mean Sea Level, and the rim, which is 114 inches in diameter, is 21 inches above the ground. The cups of the Anemograph are 45 feet above the ground, and 150 feet above Mean Sea Level.

out.

At Victoria Peak the Instruments, except the Radiation Thermometers, are placed in the Look- The Barometer is about 1823 feet above Sea Level. The bulbs of the Thermometers are about 4 feet above the floor, except the Maximum Thermometer, which is a few inches higher. The Radia- tion Thermometers, are placed at the same height above the ground as at the Observatory. At Cape d'Aguilar the Thermometers are placed about 170 feet above Sea Level (according to the Government Gazette) in a wooden screen 2 feet above the ground, except the Maximum Thermometer, which is a few inches higher."

Table I exhibits the hourly readings of the height of the Barometer reduced to 32.0 Fahrenheit, but not to Sea Level, as measured (at two minutes to the hour named) from the Barograms. The Mean Height of the Barometer was 29.868, the Highest was 30.040 at 10 a. on the 2nd, and the Lowest was 29.621 at 4 p. on the 21st. The Barometric Tide amounted to 0.084.

51 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 31st MAY, 1884.

Table II exhibits the hourly readings of the Temperature (Dry Bulb Thermometer) as measured from the Thermograms (at two minutes past the hour named), and also the Extreme Temperatures during the day. The Mean Temperature was 67.8, the Highest was 83.9 at 1 h. 18 m., p. on the 26th, and the Lowest was 54.7 at 2 h. 47 m., a. on the 2nd.

Table III exhibits the hourly readings of the Temperature of Evaporation (Damp Bulb Thermo- meter) as measured from the Thermograms (at two minutes past the hour named) and also the Solar Radiation Maximum (Black Bulb) and Terrestrial Radiation Minimum, Temperatures.

Table IV exhibits the Mean Relative Humidity in percentage of saturation (the humidity of air saturated with moisture being 100) and the Mean Tension of Aqueous Vapour present in the air expressed in inches of mercury, for every hour in the day and for every day in the month. The Mean Tension, which did not vary much during the 24 hours, being however somewhat greater during the hottest than during coldest part of the day, was 0.594. The Mean Relative Humidity, which exhibits a great daily variation, was 86. It appears from this that while the amount of vapour remained nearly constant, the air was further removed from saturation during the hottest part of the day, than during the early morning hours.

Table V exhibits the Duration of Sun-shine as recorded by aid of the Sun-shine Recorder from half an hour before to half an hour after the hour named. The Sun shone 79.7 hours during the month.

Table VI exhibits the amount of Rain registered from half an hour before to half an hour after the hour named. The Total Rain-fall during the month was 5.261 inches. The greatest Hourly Rain-fall was 1.055 at 9 a. on the 12th.

Table VII exhibits, for every hour in the day, the Velocity of the Wind and its Direction in numbers (8-E, 16—S, 24—W, 32-N) as measured from the Anemograms. The Velocity is the number of miles traversed by the Wind from half an hour before to half an hour after the hour named. The Direction is read off at the hour, except when the Wind is very light and changeable, when the average Direction during the hour is estimated, taking into account the Velocity from different quarters. The Direction is not noted when the Velocity is below 1.5 miles an hour.

The Mean Velocity was 16.5 miles an hour. It was greatest during the middle of the day. The Velocity exceeded 35 miles an hour on the 2nd and the 27th.

The Total Distance travelled by, as well as the Duration and average Velocity of Winds from different quarters were as follows:-

Table VIII exhibits, for every hour in the day, the Velocity of the Wind reduced to 4 and also to 2 Directions, as well as the Mean Direction of the Wind. The Diurnal Variation of the latter was very small.

Table IX exhibits the Direction (to two points) and Force of the Wind (0-12) at Victoria Peak. The Average Force of the Wind was 4.0, corresponding to a Velocity of 23 miles per hour. The Sea Disturbance (0-9) exhibited in the same table has been derived from observations made at Cape d'Aguilar.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 31ST MAY, 1884. 515

Table X exhibits the Amount (0-10), Name and Direction, whence coming, of the Clouds. Where the names of Upper and Lower Clouds are given, but only one Direction, this refers to the Lower Clouds. The prevailing Direction of the Wind at the Observatory, as shewn in Table VIII, was E; at the Peak, as shewn in Table IX, ESE; that of the Lower Clouds was SE and the Direction veered with increasing height, the highest clouds coming from W. On an average 84 per cent of the sky was clouded.

Table XI and Table XII exhibit the readings of the Barometer and the Thermometers at Victoria Peak and at Cape d'Aguilar. The Barometer was not properly registered till the 19th.

The Mean Temperature was 62.6 at the Peak and 65.9 at Cape d'Aguilar, the Highest was 75.9 on the 22nd at the Peak and 80.8 on the same day at Cape d'Aguilar, and the lowest was 47.8 on the 3rd at the Peak, and 54.6 on the 2nd at Cape d'Aguilar.

The Mean Temperature in Hongkong decreased one degree Fahrenheit for every 501 feet ascended.

Table XIII exhibits the Relative Humidity as determined from observations of the Dry and Damp Bulb Thermometers. The Mean Relative Humidity at the Observatory was 86, at Cape d'Aguilar 95, at the Peak 96. These numbers are reduced to the mean of the 24 hours by aid of Table IV. The Least Relative Humidity registered was 60 at 4 p. on the 22nd at the Observatory; 68 at the same time at Cape d'Aguilar, and 66 at 10 a. on the same day at Victoria Peak.

Table XIV exhibits the Tension of Aqueous Vapour at the Observatory and at the Peak. The Mean Tension was 0.594 inches at the Observatory, and 0.546 inches at the Peak. These numbers are reduced to the mean of the 24 hours by aid of Table IV. The Greatest Tension registered was 0.832 at 10 a. on the 26th at the Observatory, and 0.772 at the same time at the Peak. The Least Tension was 0.296 at 10 p. on the 2nd at the Observatory, and 0.331 at the same time at the Peak.

Table XV exhibits the amount of Rain measured at 10 a. on the following day, and the duration of Precipitation at the Observatory. The greatest amount of Rain fell on the 11th, when it rained 1.220 inches at the Observatory, 1.47 at Stone Cutters' Island, and 1.32 at the Peak.

Thunder and Lightning occurred on the 4th, beginning early in the morning and ending after noon; on the 11th and 12th, beginning in the evening of the 11th and ending about noon next day; and on the 26th, beginning in the afternoon and ending next morning, after raging furiously the whole night.

Thunder was heard but no Lightning seen on the afternoons of the 12th and the 25th.

Lightning was seen but no Thunder heard on the 20th, beginning in the evening and ending early next morning; on the 21st, beginning in the afternoon and ending early next morning; on the 24th, beginning in the afternoon and ending early next morning; and on the 25th, beginning in the afternoon and ending early next morning.

Unusual Visibility was noticed on the 1st and the 15th.

Dew fell during the night between the 21st and the 22nd.

Fog occurred in the morning and in the evening of the 5th and in the morning of the 7th.

Fog prevailed extensively at Cape d'Aguilar and at Victoria Peak.

The Council met in pursuance of adjournment.

Minutes read and confirmed.

VOTE OF MONEY REFERRED TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.-Read the following Minute by His Excellency the Governor :-

The Governor recommends the Council to vote the following sum:—

A sum not exceeding Sixty-three thousand dollars ($63,000) in payment of the contribution due from Hongkong to lessen the loss sustained by the Imperial Treasury on the Eastern Mail Service from the 1st of February, 1883, to the 31st of December, 1884, at the rate of £6,000 per annum.

From the papers on this subject which have already been presented, the Council is aware that, since 1879, this question has been under the consideration of Her Majesty's Government. Successive Secretaries of State have done their utmost to obtain the assent of the Imperial Treasury to a reduction of the sum originally put forward as this Colony's share of the loss, and the present Secretary of State has now communicated the final decision of the Imperial Government.

538

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14 JUNE, 1884.

In Lord DERBY's words, "The Lords of the Treasury have finally consented to an arrangement by which the Government of Hongkong shall contribute at the proposed rate of 26,000 from the 1st of February 1883 only, the claim for the arrears of this increased payment for the period anterior to that date being waived."

The Council has already asscnted to the principle of contributing towards the loss to the Imperial Government by the Eastern Mail Service, and, when passing the Estimates for 1884, voted the sum of $22,000 for that year, and $55,000 as arrears for 1880, 1881, and 1882, being at the rate of £4,000 per annum only. This was done in accordance with a resolution of the Finance Committee passed at its meeting on the 21st June, 1883.

Considering that the original claim was for £13,771 per annum, and that Lords KIMBERLEY and DERBY have successively done all in their power to obtain the most favourable terms possible for the Colony, and have caused the contribution originally required, to be reduced by more than one half, the Governor believes that the Council will recognize the efforts that have been made in England on behalf of this Colony, and will accede to the arrangement now proposed by Her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

HONGKONG OBSERVATORY.

On the relative frequency of Storms in various Seas for different Months in the Year.

The following table exhibits for each month in the year the number of dangerous Atmospheric depressions, expressed in percentage of the average total number, that is yearly recorded in various seas. The similarity between the relative frequency of Typhoons in the China Sea and of Hurricanes in the West Indies is striking. The former have their maximum in September and their minimum in February, while the latter have their maximum in August and their minimum in January. About half the number of both Typhoons and Hurricanes occur in August and September, but the relative frequency of Typhoons in May and November slightly exceeds the relative frequency of Hurricanes. The Cyclones of the Southern Indian Ocean are distributed in a similar manner but have their maximum in February and their minimum in July. But the Cyclones in the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea are quite different and have maxima at the changes of the monsoon in May and October.

Those engaged in Industrial arts and Trades, within and without the German Empire, are herewith respectfully invited to participate.

The importance of the celebrated old town of Nuremberg as pre-eminent seat of German art- industry, the position of the town in the centre of Bavaria and Germany and its happy means of communication, the tried proficiency of the "Bayrisches Gewerbemuseum" and the extreme success of the Bavarian National-Exhibition it arranged in 1882, guarantee the happiest results for those taking part in this new Exhibition. The assurance of such an issue shall be regarded as special duty by the

Bayrisches Gewerbemuseum."

A Lottery, the prizes of which will consist of exhibits only, will be connected with the exhibition and offer every exhibiter an opportunity to effect a sale.

The necessary steps have been taken to ensure duty-free import for exhibition-objects, and duty- free export for objects which remain unsold. As to an abatement in price of freight in Germany for exhibition goods, proper measures shall be taken.

In regard to the carrying-out of the exhibition one is referred to the single determinations of the programme; ineanwhile the respectful request only is made that a preliminary announcement, notifying the nature of the objects and the space required for the same, be forwarded to the "Bayrisches Gewerbemuseum" in Nuremberg by 1st June 1884, at latest.

INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION

GOLD AND SILVER SMITHS' WORKS, JEWELLERY, AND BRONZES IN NUREMBERG 1885,

arranged by the "Bayrisches Gewerbemuseum.".

PROGRAMME.

The "Bayrisches Gewerbemuseum" in Nuremberg arranges in 1885 an International Exhibition of Gold and Silver Smith's works, Jewellery and Bronzes, and of the Machines, Tools, and Raw-stuff's necessary for their production.

II.

The exhibition takes place in the new exhibition-building, constructed of fire-proof material-iron and stone-of the "Bayrisches Gewerbemuseum" in Nuremberg; it will be solemnly opened June 15th and closed September 30th.

III.

The purpose of this exhibition is to set forth the present condition of gold and silver smiths' works, jewellery and bronzes in the different countries; to call attention to the artistic and technical progress in their production; to give exhibitors an opportunity of extending their present and opening up new fields of consumption; and to promote emulation and advance by presentation of the newest machines, tools, apparatus, and raw-stuffs.

IV.

There will be admitted to the exhibition: gold and silver smiths' works and jewellery; works of art in copper including those in enamel; works of art in bronze and brass, in tin and zinc, and of the latter especially the imitations of works in bronze; and galvanoplastic reproductions of works of art.

Besides finished works themselves the material used, the tools, apparatus, and machines, employed in their construction, are also admitted.

As far as feasible a historical department shall give a survey of the development of these fields of labor.

For those desirous of taking part in the exhibition special forms of announcement will be published which, filled up in duplicate, must be returned to the "Bayrisches Gewerbemuseum" by 20th December 1884. These announcement-sheets must give exact details of the kind and number of the objects to be exhibited, and of the space required for this purpose; and must further contain the special notices necessary for preparing an exhaustive catalogue to be issued at the opening of the exhibition.

VI.

The "Bayrisches Gewerbemuseum" has to decide as to the admission of articles announced for, and amount of space required in, the exhibition. Special forms of announcement will be issued as to manner of taking part in the Historical exhibition.

VII.

All articles for exhibition must be forwarded franco to the "Bayrisches Gewerbemuseum" in Nuremberg from 1-30 April, 1885. In regard to bulky objects and larger exhibitions, which require extra contrivances for their setting up, special agreement is reserved. Would-be exhibitors, whose articles are not to hand in Nuremberg by 15th May, have no claims for admission to the exhibition, and lose the rights acquired by the acceptance of their announcement.

VIII.

The objects for exhibition will be arranged according to countries, and within this arrangement as far as possible according to material. The "Bayrisches Gewerbemuseum" will after its own discretion attend to the setting up of the objects, and supply gratis the exhibition-cases necessary for this purpose.

Exhibitors who provide their own exhibition-cases, or who having larger exhibitions require special arrangement of setting up, must send in drawings of these with their announcement.

Special agreements are reserved for fiting up machines and setting these in operation; likewise for the construction of workshops, &c. Motive-power is supplied gratis.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 28TH JUNE, 1884.

573

For the packing and unpacking of objects for the exhibition, for their setting up, for their custody and cleaning, for their assurance against danger of fire at the sums declared by the exhibitors, for custody of the cases and packing-material, no charge will be reckoned against the exhibitors. No charge will be made for place in the exhibition.

As contribution to the considerable expenses incurred not only by the due arrangement of the exhibits but also by the decoration of the different localities of the exhibition itself, each exhibitor whose exhibition-objects do not require more room than 3 square meters (32 square feet), has to pay the sum of 200 Rixmark; (10) and this sum must be forwarded to the "Bayrisches Gewerbemuseum along with the final notice of participation. In the case of demands for greater space and for collective exhibitions, special agreements must be entered into.

Exhibits may be sold but not removed before close of the exhibition. The sale of the exhibits is attended to by the "Bayrisches Gewerbemuseum" against a provision of 5 per cent of the selling-price.

XI.

Each exhibitor receives a medal accorded by the town of Nuremberg. For special performances prizes in the form of gold and silver medals will further be awarded by the Royal government. These will be adjudged by an International prize-jury, the members of which will be elected by the exhibitors in understanding with the "Bayrisches Gewerbemuseum." Special determinations will regulate the action of the prize-jury. The solemn distribution of prizes will take place on the 25th August, the birthday of His Majesty, Louis II., king of Bavaria.

XII.

After the close of the exhibition the packing and forwarding of the unsold exhibits are managed by the "Bayrisches Gewerbemuseum"; hereby the exhibitor has to pay the expenses only for the return-transport of his articles.

Whereas by section 5 of Ordinance 5 of 1866 entitled The Hongkong and Shanghai Bank Ordinance it is provided among other things that the Capital of the said Bank shall be Five millions of Dollars divided into Forty thousand Shares of One hundred and Twenty-five Dollars each and that with the consent of the Governor a further Capital not exceeding Two millions and Five hundred thousand Dollars divided into Shares of One hundred and Twenty-five Dollars each may be created and also that when- ever such further Capital has been raised a Notification or Proclamation to that efect under the hand of the Governor shall be published in the Hongkong Government Gazette and that from the date of such Notification the said sum of Five millions of Dollars together with such further Capital shall be taken to be the fixed Capital of the said Bank.

And whereas it has been represented to me that pursuant to my consent a further Capital of Two millions and Five hundred thousand Dollars divided into Shares of One hundred and Twenty-five Dollars each has been created and fully paid up:

Now, therefore, I, in pursuance of section 5 of the above recited Ordinance do hereby proclaim that the said further Capital of Two millions and Five hundred thousand Dollars has been raised and that the said sum of Five millions of Dollars together with the said further sum of Two millions and Five hundred thousand Dollars making in all a total of Seven millions and Five hundred thousand Dollars shall henceforth be taken to be the Fixed Capital of the said Bank, but with power nevertheless to the said Bank to further increase the Capital hereafter as provided in the said Ordinance.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese char. cters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of

China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means cou- fiued to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and-sold separately.

The following finding of a Marine Court appointed to enquire into the loss of the British Steam- ship Marlborough, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 18th July, 1884.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

FINDING.

We find that the British Steam-ship Marlborough, Official No. 76,985 of Singapore, 1,175 tons, was wrecked at about 1.20 P.M. on the 12th June, 1884, on a reef off Hainan Head (North extreme of the Island of Hainan).

We are of opinion that the loss of this ship is due to the careless navigation of the Master MAX. KUNATH.

We hereby direct that the Certificate of Competency No. 567 of Singapore of MAX. KUNATH be suspended for one year from this date. We recommend that MAX. KUNATH be provided with a First Mate's Certificate.

Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 15th day of July, 1884.

HYDROGRAPHIC NOTICE.

[ No..11. ]

CHINA SEA DIRECTORY. VOL. I.

NOTICE No. 8.

The following information relating to Sunda strait is derived chiefly from reports received from officers of Her Majesty's ships, and from publications of the Netherlands Government referring to the volcanic eruption of Krakatoa, and to the earthquake wave with which the neighbouring shores were visited in August 1883.

(All Bearings are Magnetic. Variation 2o Easterly in 1884.)

SUNDA STRAIT.

The Volcano of Krakatoa island was in eruption in the year 1680, and although included within the category of active volcanoes, it remained in a state of comparative inactivity for upwards of 200 years.

In the year 1883, on May 20th, the volcano burst into eruption, accompanied by earthquakes, which were severely felt at Batavia, and at the same time vast showers of pumice and ashes were projected to a great distance. This eruption was observed from the Imperial German ship Elizabeth, and on the following day, when 100 miles from Krakatoa, a shower of dust was experienced which was estimated to become a layer one inch in thickness in 24 hours, and dust was observed to be still falling when the vessel had gained a position 300 miles south-west of Sunda strait. *

On 26th August 1883, Krakatoa again burst into eruption, and of such a terrible nature, that miles of coast on both sides of the strait were wholly devastated, and multitudes of people perished. On the 27th August, a succession of earthquake waves swept the shores of the strait, utterly destroying the towns of Anjer, Merak, Tyringin and Telok Betong, together with some of the lighthouses on both shores. This remarkable disturbance of the sea made itself felt in various parts of the world upon the same date, notably in Australia and Southern Africa, also at Karachi in India.

The vast amount of pumice which lay upon the surface of the sea, in some places many feet in thickness, gave an appearance as if the ocean bed had appeared above water.

The following are some of the principal changes in the locality, resulting from the eruption, as defined from the recent surveys by the Netherlands Government Surveying vessel Hydrograaf. †

GREAT CHANNEL.-The Great channel or that between Krakatoa island and the coast of Java has not changed in such a manner to affect navigation, as far as can at present be ascertained.

Thwart-way Island presents the appearance of being split in consequence of the destruction of the high trees which occupied the low ground and valleys.

MERAK.-A post office and telegraph station has been established near Merak in place of that destroyed at Anjer, and a semaphore has been erected on Great Merak island.

Light. A fixed white light visible from a distance of 10 miles, is exhibited from Great Merak island,' and shows seaward of Fourth point to one-third of a mile westward of St. Nicholas point, except when intercepted by islands.

KRAKATOA ISLAND.-The larger part of Krakatoa island, or that portion northward of the peak has subsided, and where the northern hills of the island formerly stood, there is now upwards of 80 fathoms, water.

The whole group of islands adjacent are covered with volcanic mud.

Verlaten island is nearly three times larger in area than formerly, and is 587 feet high; it is also an active volcano separated from Krakatoa by a channel 2 miles wide.

Bezee Channel.-This channel is now obstructed by islands and dangers, and should on no account be used. The two new islands in this channel, named respectively Steers island and Calmeyer island, are low banks of mud and punice, their configuration is continually altering, and they are stated to be gradually subsiding.

The channel between Sebesie and Sebooko islands is reported dangerous, and until further examination is made had better be avoided.

Stroom Rocks.-A rock which is stated to be well known to the local pilots, lies one mile south-east from Stroom

rocks.

according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means cou- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

DISCONTINUANCE OF LIGHT AT LIGHT-SHIP, BRISBANE BAR, AND EXHIBITION

OF LIGHT AND TIDAL SIGNALS FROM THE PILE LIGHTHOUSE.

The Lighthouse stands in 16 feet at low water, and 450 feet eastward from the line of leading lights through the outer Cutting.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26тn JULY, 1884.

The Light exhibited from the Central Lantern will be Dioptric of the 4th Order, occulting during the flood tide, and i during the ebb. It will be seen as a red light by vessels passing through the outer Cutting, and between the bearings v. by W. W. and S. by E. E. From S. by E. E. to W. S. W. westerly it will appear as a white light. Between bearings of W. S. W. westerly, and W. by N. N. northerly, it will be seen as a red light. From a W. by N. N. herly to N. W. by W. W. bearing it will be again seen as a white light, and from the southward of the latter bearing light will be obscured.

In the direction of Cowan Cowan, the white light will be intensified by a sector of 45° of light--not otherwise required -condensed into a beam of 10°.

The red sector facing to the eastward covers Mud Island and the reefs, and the shoal ground to the northward, so that when passing in the white sectors, North or South of the Island, vessels will be in deep water.

While within the white sector to the southward of the red light, vessels will be in the fairway between St. Helena and Mud Islands, and clear of the foul ground on either hand.

The occulting light will be obscured for 2 seconds at intervals of 10 seconds.

The Tidal signals by day, will be made from the W.N.W. and E.S.E. corners of the Lighthouse, and at night by lights from 6th Order Dioptric apparatus shewn from similar positions, the code used being as follows:-

During the flood tide a red flag will be kept flying from a staff on the lantern platform.

They are placed over dry earth, as the ground round the Observatory has not yet been turfed. The self-recording Rain-gauge is placed 106 fect above Mean Sea Level, and the rim, which is 11 inches in diameter, is 21 inches above the ground. The

cups of the Anemograph are 45 feet above the ground, and 150 feet above Mean Sea Level. At Victoria Peak the Instruments, except the Radiation Thermometers, are placed in the Look- The Barometer is about 1823 feet above Sea Level. The bulbs of the Thermometers are about 4 feet above the floor, except the Maximum Thermometer, which is a few inches higher. The Radia- tion Thermometers, are placed at the same height above the ground as at the Observatory. At Cape 'Aguilar the Thermometers are placed about 170 feet above Sea Level (according to the Government Gazette) in a wooden screen 2 feet above the ground, except the Maximum Thermometer, which is a few inches higher.

out.

Table I exhibits the hourly readings of the height of the Barometer reduced to 32.0 Fahrenheit, but not to Sea Level, as measured (at two minutes to the hour named) from the Barograms. The Mean Height of the Barometer was 29.752, the Highest was 29.898 at 10 p. on the 5th, and the Lowest was 29.539 at 4 a. and 5 a. on the 29th. The Barometric Tide amounted to 0.079.

Table II exhibits the hourly readings of the Temperature (Dry Bulb Thermometer) as measured from the Thermograms (at two minutes past the hour named), and also the Extreme Temperatures during the day. The Mean Temperature was 74.8 the Highest was 87.5 at about 3 p. on the 17th and the Lowest was 64.1 at about 4 a on the 13th and 14th.

aily variation, was 85.

Table V exhibits the Duration of Sun-shine as registered by aid of the Sun-shine Recorder from half an hour before to half an hour after the hour named. The Sun shone 99.1 hours during the month.

Table VI exhibits the amount of Rain registered from half an hour before to half an hour after The hour named. The Total Rain-fall during the month was 9.039. inches. The greatest Hourly Rain-fall was 1.135 at noon on the 1st.

Table VII exhibits, for every hour in the day, the Velocity of the Wind and its Direction in numbers (8-E, 16—S, 24—W, 32—N) as measured from the Anemograms. The Velocity is the umber of miles traversed by the Wind from half an hour before to half an hour after the hour named. The Direction is read off at the hour, except when the Wind is very light and changeable, when the average Direction during the hour is estimated, taking into account the Velocity from different quarters. The Direction is not noted when the Velocity is below 1.5 miles an hour.

The Mean Velocity was 12.9 miles an hour. It was greatest during the middle of the day. The Velocity did not exceed 30 miles an hour on any day.

The Total Distance travelled by, as well as the Duration and average Velocity of Winds from different quarters were as follows:--

at the Peak, as shewn in Table IX, SE by E; the Lower Clouds came partly from about E and partly- from ahout SW. Their average Direction was S and the Direction veered with increasing height, the highest clouds coming from W. On an average 80 per cent of the sky was clouded.

Table XI and Table XII exhibit the readings of the Barometer and the Thermometers at Victoria Peak and at Cape d'Aguilar.

The Mean Temperature was 68.5 at the Peak and 72.9 at Cape d'Aguilar, the Highest was 76.9 on the 22nd at the Peak and 86.3 on the 17th at Cape d'Aguilar, and the lowest was 57.2 on the 14th at the Peak, and 62.8 on the 13th at Cape d'Aguilar.

The Mean Temperature in Hongkong decreased one degree Fahrenheit for every 376 feet ascended.

Table XIII exhibits the Relative Humidity as determined from observations of the Dry and Damp Bulb Thermometers. The Mean Relative Humidity at the Observatory was 85, at Cape d'Aguilar 93, at the Peak 95. These numbers are reduced to the mean of the 24 hours by aid of Table IV. The Least Relative Humidity registered was 56 at 4 p. on the 31st at the Observatory; 73 at the same time at Cape d'Aguilar, and 66 at 10 a. and 10 p. on the same day at Victoria Peak.

Table XIV exhibits the Tension of Aqueous Vapour at the Observatory and at the Peak. The Mean Tension was 0.736 inches at the Observatory, and 0.661 inches at the Peak. These numbers are reduced to the mean of the 24 hours by aid of Table IV. The Greatest Tension registered was 0.931 at 10 p. on the 22nd at the Observatory, and 0.866 at the same time at the Peak. The Least Tension was 0.444 at 4 p. on the 13th at the Observatory, and 0.440 at the same time at the Peak.

Léopold Orban read the following declaration in the name of the Belgian Government :--- "The Belgian Government, through its Delegate at the Conference, has maintained that the Convention has no effect on the rights of belligerent Powers; these rights would be, after signing, neither more nor less extended than they are at present. The reference inserted in Article XV, though absolutely useless in the view of the Belgian Government, would not justify it in refusing to join in an object the importance of which was beyond dispute.

Formal note was taken of this declaration of M. Léopold Orban.

Baron de Zuylen de Nyevelt stated that the Netherlands Government, in signing the Convention, could undertake to accede at present only as regards the mother country. It reserved to itself the power to accede later to this Convention for the whole or for part of its Colonies or possessions.

Formal note was taken of this declaration of the Minister of the Netherlands.

The Minister of Sweden and Norway stated that his instructions require him to reserve, in signing the Convention, the subsequent approval of the legislatures of the United Kingdoms.

The President took formal note of this declaration of the Minister of Sweden and Norway, while observing futher that the reservation for the fulfilment of the formalities required by the different constitutions, before exchanging the ratifications of the Convention, was the right of all the Contract- ing States.

Taking into consideration the large number of the Contracting Parties, and following the method of proceeding already adopted at the time of the ratification of the Treaties relative to the redemption of the Sound Dues and the Scheldt tolls, of the Telegraph Convention at Paris and of the Metre Con- vention, it was agreed, on the proposal of the President, that the exchange of ratifications for the pro- tection of submarine cables should be effected through the Government of the French Republic.

The Plenipotentiaries decided further that the document which had just been signed should be brought to the cognizance of all the non-Signatory States, which should be invited to take advantage of the power of accession which is reserved to them by Article XIV of the Convention.

It was agreed that this communication should be left to the care of the French Minister for Foreign Affairs... The Government of the French Republic would likewise receive notifications of accession, which might come in before the date fixed for the Convention to come into force.

The present Minutes, drawn up during the sitting, having been read and approved, the Conference Sorated at 3 o'clock.

TO THE

ORDINARY HALF-YEARLY GENERAL MEETING

SHAREHOLDERS

TO BE HELD

AT THE CITY HALL, HONGKONG, On Monday, the 25th August, 1884, AT 3 P.M.

To the Proprietors of the

HONGKONG & SHANGHAI BANKING CORPORATION.

GENTLEMEN,

The Directors have now to submit to you a General Statement of the affairs of the Bank, and Balance Sheet for the half-year ending 30th June last.

The net profits for that period, including $57,645.23 brought forward from last account, after paying all charges, deducting interest paid and due, and making provision for bad and doubtful debts, amount to $855,113.52, of which, after taking out rebate on Bills not yet due, and remuneration to Directors, there remains for appropriation $843,715.18.

From this sum, the Directors recommend the payment of a Dividend of Two Pounds Sterling per Share, which on 60,000 Shares will absorb $533,333.33. The difference in Exchange be- tween 4/6, the rate at which the Dividend is declared, and 3/8, the current rate of the day amounts to $113,857.68.

The Directors propose placing $45,080.48 to the Reserve Fund, which will then stand at $4,400,000, and adding $100,000 to the Reserve for equalization of Dividends Account, bringing this fund up to $400,000.

The Balance $51,143.69 to be brought for- ward to the credit of new Profit and Loss Account.

The Directors have to congratulate the Shareholders on successfully carrying out the increase of the Bank's Capital which now stands at $7,500,000. The calls have been fully paid up, and the net premium on the new Shares, amouuting to $1,854,919,52, has been placed to the credit of the Reserve Fund.

AUDITORS.

The Accounts have been audited by the Hon. PHINEAS RYRIE and Mr. FuLLARTON HENDERSON,

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial

practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

NOTICE.

Meteorological Signals will be hoisted on the mast in front of the Police Barracks at Tsim-sha-

A red drum will be hoisted to indicate the existence of a typhoon somewhere to the East of

the Colony.

A red cone pointing upwards will indicate, that a typhoon exists in a latitude more northern

than the Colony, or, that it is progressing towards North.

A red cone pointing downwards will indicate, that a typhoon exists in a latitude more southern

than the Colony, or, that it is progressing towards South.

A red ball will indicate, that a typhoon exists somewhere to the West of the Colony.

2. For the purpose of giving Storm-warnings to the Colony, a gun has been placed at the foot of the mast facing Victoria. It will be fired once, whenever a strong gale of wind is expected here. It will be fired twice, whenever the wind is expected to blow with typhoon force. And it will be fired again if possible, when the wind is likely to suddenly shift round,-such shifting being frequently accompanied by great disasters to the shipping.

3. In view of the fact, that typhoons-although their area of strong wind and severe weanor is so limited,-determine the prevailing wind and weather a thousand miles or more away, being sur- rounded by a fine-weather area of so great extent, the meteorological signals will enable masters of vessels days beforehand to foresee the weather likely to be encountered in different localities and to understand changes of weather, and their knowledge of the law of storms combined with their practical experience will enable them to shape their course so as to not only avoid the dangerous part of a typhoon, but so as to find out and benefit by favourable winds.

4. The public are supposed to be guided not solely by those signals, but to consult The China Coast Meteorological Register for further particulars. In fact the signals are hoisted to call attention to information contained in that register, as exhibited at the Office of the Great Northern Telegraphi Company.

5. The Admirals of the British and Foreign Squadrons in China, and Masters of Vessels trading in these seas having been requested to send in their logs to this Department, whenever they encounter strong wind or bad weather, have cordially responded by forwarding a number of typhoon-logs, which will be invaluable for the future investigation of typhoons.

6. Several Captains have volunteered to keep continuous Meteorological Registers when at sea. and have been supplied with registers of the form now adopted by many of the Commissioners of Customs at the Treaty Ports. These forms may be had on application to this Department, and th typhoon-logs may be obtained from the Harbour Master, who has courteously volunteered to distribute them.

7. Instruments used in observing will be verified at the Observatory if sent there. Anerobi Barometers may be set while in the Harbour by comparison with the data given in The China Co Meteorological Register.

The following report from the Government Astronomer for the month of June, 1884, is published for general information.

By Command,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

HONGKONG OBSERVATORY.

Weather Report for June, 1884.

During the previous month the Barometric pressure in these regions had been very evenly distributed, but so that gradients for gentle NE winds, which prevailed during the first part of that month were gradually replaced by gradients for gentle SW winds. From the 1st to the 9th of June gradients for moderate SE winds prevailed and were about the latter date replaced by gradients for SW-winds, which did not vary much up to the date that the Typhoon made its influence felt. At the beginning of the month the weather was fine and dry, the Barometer rising and light NE breezes were felt. On the 4th a change set in with strong NE breezes, a falling Barometer and Temperature and rising Humidity. On the 7th the NE breezes moderated but continued up to the 12th, the weather being overcast and damp. On the 13th moderate SW winds, which had prevailed in the Southern portion of the China Sea during the whole month, set in and brought with them overcast but warm and rather dry weather, and the Barometer rose. On the 16th the Barometer and Temperature began to fall and the Humidity to rise, while the SW wind decreased in force. On the 18th the wind freshened and brought rainy and squally weather. Next day the Barometer rose and the Temperature fell. On the 21st the Barometer began to fall and the Temperature rose with moderate SW winds and squalls from NW. On the 25th the Barometer rose, fell from the 26th to the 28th and then rose again. This was owing to a typhoon (No. 1 of 1884) that passed over Luzon, recurved in the neighbourhood of the Pratas Shoal and proceeded between the Pescadores and the South Cape of Formosa. Being unable to cross the high mountains North of Takao, its path was deflected and it moved northwards with decreasing violence. It re-entered the Pacific North of Formosa. Light winds prevailed here until the morning of the 30th when a fresh SW breeze was felt.

The Barograph and the Standard Barometer at the Observatory are placed 110 feet above Mean Sea Level. The bulbs of the Thermograph Thermometers are 111 feet above Mean Sea Level and 6 feet above the ground. They are exposed in an unpainted and double-louvered zinc screen fixed to the north wall of the main building in a shaded position. The Solar Radiation Maximum Thermome- ter is 109 feet above Mean Sea Level and 4 feet above the ground, and the Terrestrial Radiation Mini- inum Thermometer is about one inch above the ground. They are placed over dry earth, as the ground round the Observatory has not yet been turfed. The self-recording Rain-gauge is placed 106 feet above Mean Sea Level, and the rim, which is 114 inches in diameter, is 21 inches above the ground. The cups of the Anemograph are 45 feet above the ground, and 150 feet above Mean Sea Level.

ont.

At Victoria Peak the Instruments, except the Radiation Thermometers, are placed in the Look- The Barometer is about 1823 feet above Sea Level. The bulbs of the Thermometers are about 4 feet above the floor, except the Maximum Thermometer, which is a few inches higher. The Radia- ton Thermometers, are pliced at the same height above the ground as at the Observatory. At Cape d'Aguilar the Thermometers are placed about 170 feet above Sea Level (according to the Government Gazelle) in a wooden screen 2 feet above the ground, except the Maximum Thermometer, which is a few inches higher.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 16тп AUG., 1884. 673

Table I exhibits the hourly readings of the height of the Barometer reduced to 32.0 Fahrenheit, not to Seu Level, as measured (at two minutes to the hour named) from the Barograms. The Mean Height of the Barometer was 29.662, the Highest was 29.791 at 10 p. on the 3rd, and on the

th, and the Lowest was 29.444 at 4 p. on the 28th. The Barometric Tide amounted to 0.068.

Table II exhibits the hourly readings of the Temperature (Dry Bulb Thermometer) as measured from the Thermograms (at two minutes past the hour named), and also the Extreme Temperatures ring the day. The Mean Temperature was 80.1, the Highest was 91.1 at about 2 p. on the 22nd and the Lowest was 72.6 at about 4 a. on the 1st.

Table III exhibits the hourly readings of the Temperature of Evaporation (Damp Bulb Thermo- meter) as measured from the Thermograms (at two minutes past the hour named) and also the Solar

Miation Maximum (Black Bulb) and Terrestrial Radiation Minimum Temperatures.

Table IV exhibits the Mean Relative Humidity in percentage of saturation (the humidity of ir saturated with moisture being 100) and the Mean Tension of Aqueous Vapour present in the air xpressed in inches of mercury, for every hour in the day and for every day in the month. The Mean Tension, which exhibits a small daily variation, was 0.850. The Mean Relative Humidity, which exhibits a great daily variation, was 83.

Table V exhibits the Duration of Sun-shine as registered by aid of the Sun-shine Recorder from half an hour before to half an hour after the hour named. The Sun shone 149.2 hours during the month.

Table VI exhibits the amount of Rain registered from half an hour before to half an hour after the hour named. The Total Rain-fall during the month was 11.035 inches. It rained during 81 hours. The greatest Hourly Rain-fail was 2.030 at 6 a. on the 30th.

Table VII exhibits, for every hour in the day, the Velocity of the Wind and its Direction in numbers (8-E, 16-S, 24-W, 32-N) as measured from the Anemograms. The Velocity is the nber of miles traversed by the Wind, from half an hour before to half an hour after the hour named. Direction is read off at the hour, except when the Wind is very light and changeable, when the rage Direction during the hour is estimated, taking into account the Velocity from different quarters. The Direction is not noted when the Velocity is below 1.5 miles an hour.

The Mean Velocity was 14.7 miles an hour. It was greatest during the middle of the day. The Velocity exceeded 35 miles an hour at Noou on the 3rd.

Table X exhibits the Amount (9-10), Name and Direction, whence coming, of the Clouds. Where the names of Upper and Lower Clouds are given, but only one Direction, this refers to the Lower Clouds. The prevailing Direction of the Wind at the Observatory, as shewn in Table VIII, was about SE; at the Peak, as shewn in Table IX, E 27° S; the Direction of the Lower Clouds was E 32° S. The Upper Clouds came from about WSW until the 25th when their Direction changed to NE, thus indicating the existence of a Typhoon. On the 29th their Direction again changed to WSW. On an average 71 per cent of the sky were clouded.

Table XI and Table XII exhibit the readings of the Barometer reduced to 32.0 Fahrenheit but not to Sea Level, and the Thermometers at Victoria Peak and at Cape d'Aguilar.

The Mean Height of the Barometer at the Peak was 27.965. The Mean Temperature was 72.4 at the Peak and 78.6 at Cape d'Aguilar, the Highest was 79.7 on the 27th at the Peak and 87.8 on the 26th and 27th at Cape d'Aguilar, and the lowest was 65.0 on the 2nd at the Peak, and 72.4 on the previous day at Cape d'Aguilar.

The Mean Temperature in Hongkong decreased one degree Fahrenheit for every 248 feet ascended.

Table XIII exhibits the Relative Humidity as determined from observations of the Dry and Damp Bulb Thermometers. The Mean Relative Humidity at the Observatory was 83, at Cape d'Aguilar 91, and at Victoria Peak 95. The Least Relative Humidity registered was 52 at 4 p. on the 2nd at the Observatory; 78 at the same time at the Peak, and 78 at 4 p. on the 27th at Cape d'Aguilar.

Table XIV exhibits the Tension of Aqueous Vapour at the Observatory and at the Peak. The Mean Tension was 0.849 at the Observatory, and 0.766 at the Peak. These numbers are reduced to the mean of the 24 hours by aid of Table IV. The Greatest Tension registered was 0.992 at 10 p. on the 29th at the Observatory, and 0.876 at 10 a. on 26th at the Peak. The Least Tension was 0.647 at 4 p. on the 2nd at the Observatory, and 0.618 at 10 a. on the 1st at the Peak.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 309.

The following finding of a Marine Court appointed to enquire into the loss of the British Steam- ship Marlborough, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 30th August, 1884.

FINDING.

W. H. MARSIL,

Colonial Secretary.

We find that the British Steam-ship Marlborough, Official No. 76,985 of Singapore, 1,175 tons, was wrecked at about 1.20 P.M. on the 12th June, 1884, on a reef off Hainan Point, (North extreme of the Island of Hainan).

We are of opinion that the loss of the ship is due to the Master, Max. KUNATн, placing too much confidence in the Chinese Pilot, by not ascertaining his position by bearings; by trying to shave the reef too closely, and by not keeping the lead going.

We hereby direct that the Certificate of Competency, No. 567. Singapore, of the Master be suspended for a period of six months from this date.

We recommend that MAX. KUNATH be provided with a First Mate's Certificate. Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 27th day of August, 1884.

ARTICLE II.

7. British goods, when seized by the Corean authorities at an open port, shall be put under the seals of the Corean and the British Consular authorities, and shall be detained by the former until the British judicial authorities shall have given their decision.

British subjects shall be allowed to go where they please without passports within a distance of 100 Corean li from any of the ports and places open to trade, or within such limits as may be agreed upon between the competent authorities of both countries.

These passports, if demanded, must be produced for examina- tion in the districts passed through. If the passport be not irregular, the bearer will be allowed to proceed, and he shall be at liberty to procure such means of transport as he may require. Any British subject travelling beyond the limits above named without a passport, or committing when in the interior any offence, shall be arrested and handed over to the nearest British Consul for punishment.

They may freely transact their business with Corean subjects or others without the intervention of Corean officials or other persons, and they may freely engage in any industrial occupation.

2. The owners or consignees of all goods imported from any foreign port upon which the duty of the aforesaid Tariff shall have been paid shall be entitled, on re-exporting the same to any foreign port at any time within thirteen Corean months from the date of importation, to receive a drawback certi- ficate for the amount of such import duty, provided that the original packages containing such goods remain intact. These drawback certificates shall either be redeemed by the Corean Customs on demand, or they shall be received in payment of duty at any Corean open port.

3. The duty paid on Corean goods, when carried from one Corean open port to another, shall be refunded at the port of shipment on production of a Customs certificate showing that the goods have arrived at the port of destination, or on satisfactory proof being produced of the loss of the goods by shipwreck.

4. All goods imported into Corea by British subjects, and on which the duty of the Tariff annexed to this Treaty shall have been paid, may be conveyed to any Corean open port free of duty, and, when transported into the interior, shall not be subject to any additional tax, excise or transit duty whatso- ever in any part of the country. In like manner, full freedom shall be allowed for the transport to the

open ports of all Corean commodities intended for exportation, and such commodities shall not, either at the place of production, or when being conveyed from any part of Corea to any of the open ports, be subject to the payment of any tax, excise or transit duty whatsoever.

5. The Corean Government may charter British merchant-vessels for the conveyance of goods or passengers to unopened ports in Corea, and Corean subjects shall have the same right, subject to the approval of their own authorities.

6. Whenever the Government of Corea shall have reason to apprehend a scarcity of food within the kingdom, His Majesty the King of Corea may, by Decree, temporarily prohibit the export of grain to foreign countries from any or all of the Corean open ports, and such prohibition shall become binding on British subjects in Corea on the expiration of one month from the date on which it shall have been officially communicated by the Corean authorities to the British Consul at the port concerned, but shall not remain longer in force than is absolutely necessary.

708

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 36TH AUGUST, 1884.

7. All British ships shall pay tonnage dues at the rate of 30 cents (Mexican) per register ton. One such payment will entitle a vessel to visit any or all of the open ports in Corea during a period of four months without further charge. All tonnage dues shall be appropriated for the purposes of erecting lighthouses and beacons, and placing buoys on the Corean coast, more especially at the approaches to the open ports, and in deepening or otherwise improving the anchorages. No tonnage dues shall be charged on boats employed at the open ports in landing or shipping cargo.

8. In order to carry into effect and secure the observance of the provisions of this Treaty, it is hereby agreed that the Tariff and Trade Regulations hereto annexed shall come into operation simul- taneously with this Treaty. The competent authorities of the two countries may, from time to time, revise the said Regulations with a view to the insertion therein, by mutual consent, of such modifica- tions or additions as experience shall prove to be expedient.

ARTICLE VI.

Any British subject who smuggles, or attempts to smuggle, goods into any Corean port or place not open to foreign trade shall forfeit twice the value of such goods, and the goods shall be confiscated. The Corean local authorities may seize such goods, and may arrest any British subject concerned in such smuggling or attempt to smuggle. They shall immediately forward any person so arrested to the nearest British Consul for trial by the proper British judicial authority, and may detain such goods until the case shall have been finally adjudicated.

ARTICLE VII.

1. If a British ship be wrecked or stranded on the coast of Corea, the local authorities shall im- mediately take such steps to protect the ship and her cargo from plunder, and all the persons belonging to her from ill-treatment, and to render such other assistance as may be required. They shall at once inform the nearest British Consul of the occurrence, and shall furnish the shipwrecked persons, necessary, with means of conveyance to the nearest open port.

2. All expenses incurred by the Government of Corea for the rescue, clothing, maintenance, and travelling of shipwrecked British subjects, for the recovery of the bodies of the drowned, for the medi- cal treatment of the sick and injured, and for the burial of the dead, shall be repaid by the British Government to that of Corea.

3. The British Government shall not be responsible for the repayment of the expenses incurred in the recovery or preservation of a wrecked vessel, or the property belonging to her.

4. No charge shall be made by the Government of Corea for the expenses of the Government officers, local functionaries, or police who shall proceed to the wreck, for the travelling expenses of officers escorting the shipwrecked men, nor for the expenses of official correspondence. Such expenses shall be borne by the Corean Government.

Breaking bulk without having obtained such permission will render the master liable to a fine not exceeding 100 Mexican dollars.

2. If any error is discovered in the manifest, it may be corrected within twenty-four hours (exclusive of Sundays and holidays) of its being handed in, without the payment of any fee, but for any alteration or post entry to the manifest made after that time a fee of 5 Mexican dollars shall be paid.

3. Any master who shall neglect to enter his vessel at the Corean Custom-house within the time fixed by this Regulation shall pay a penalty not exceeding 50 Mexican dollars for every twenty-four hours that he shall so neglect to enter his ship.

4. Any British vessel which remains in port for less than forty-eight hours (exclusive of Sun- days and holidays) and does not open her hatches, also any vessel driven into port by stress of weather, or only in want of supplies, shall not be required to enter or to pay tonnage dues so long as such vessel does not engage in trade.

5. When the master of a vessel wishes to clear, he shall hand in to the Customs authorities an export manifest containing similar particulars to those given in the import manifest. The Customs authorities will then issue a clearance certificate and return the Consul's receipt for the ship's papers. These documents must be handed into the Consulate before the ship's papers are returned to the

master.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH AUGUST, 1884.

-་་-་་--་་-

6. Should any ship leave the port without clearing outwards in the manner above prescribed, the master shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding 200 Mexican dollars.

7. British steamers may enter and clear on the same day, and they shall not be required to hand in a manifest except for such goods as are to be landed or transhipped at the port of entry.

II-Landing and Shipping of Cargo, and Payment of Duties.

1. The importer of any goods who desires to land them shall make and sign an application to that effect at the custom-house, stating his own name, the name of the ship in which the goods have been imported, the marks, numbers, and contents of the packages and their values, and declaring that this statement is correct. The Customs authorities may demand the production of the invoice of each consignment of merchandize. If it is not produced, or if its absence is not satisfactorily accounted for, the owner shall be allowed to land his goods on payment of double the Tariff duty, but the surplus duty so levied shall be refunded on the production of the invoice.

2. All goo 's so entered may be examined by the Customs officers at the places appointed for the purpose. Such examination shall be made without delay or injury to the merchandize, and the pack- ages shall be at once restored by the Customs authorities to their original condition, in so far as may be practicable.

3. Should the Customs authorities consider the value of any goods paying an ad valorem duty as declared by the importer or exporter insufficient, they shall call upon him to pay duty on the value determined by an appraisement to be made by the Customs appraiser. But should the importer or exporter be dissatisfied with that appraisement, he shall within twenty-four hours (exclusive of Sundays and holiday) state his reasons for such dissatisfaction to the Commissioner of Customs, and shall appoint an appraiser of his own to make a re-appraisement. He shall then declare the value of the goods as determined by such re-appraisement. The Commissioner of Customs will thereupon, at his option, either assess the duty on the value determined by this re-appraisement, or will purchase the goods from the importer or exporter at the price thus determined, with the addition of 5 per cent. In the latter case the purchase-money shall be paid to the importer or exporter within five days froni the date on which he has declared the value determined by his own appraiser.

4. Upon all goods damaged on the voyage of importation a fair reduction of duty shall be allow- ed, proportionate to their deterioration. If any disputes arise as to the amount of such reduction, they shall be settled in the manner pointed out in the preceding clause.

5. All goods intended to be exported shall be entered at the Corean Custom-house before they are shipped. The application to ship shall be made in writing, and shall state the name of the vessel by which the goods are to be exported, the marks and number of the packages, and the quantity, des- cription, and value of the contents. The exporter shall certify in writing that the application gives a true account of all the goods contained therein, and shall sign his name thereto.

6. No goods shall be landed or shipped at other places than those fixed by the Corean Customs authorities, or between the hours of sunset and sunrise, or on Sundays or holidays, without the special permission of the Customs authorities, who will be entitled to reasonable fees for the extra duty thus performed.

7. Claims by importers or exporters for duties paid in excess, or by the Customs authorities for duties which have not been fully paid, shall be entertained only when made within thirty days from the date of payment.

S. No entry will be required in the case of provisions for the use of British ships, their crews and passengers, nor for the baggage of the latter which may be landed or shipped at any time after exami- nation by the Customs officers.

9. Vessels needing repairs may land their cargo for that purpose without the payment of duty. All goods so landed shall remain in charge of the Corean authorities, and all just charges for storage, labour, and supervision shall be paid by the master. But if any portion of such cargo be sold, the duties of the Tariff shall be paid on the portion so disposed of.

10. Any person desiring to tranship cargo shall obtain a permit from the Customs authorities before doing so.

III.---Protection of the Revenue.

1. The Customs authorities shall have the right to place Customs officers on board any British merchant-vessel in their ports. All such Customs officers shall have access to all parts of the ship in which cargo is stowed. They shall be treated with civility, and such reasonable accommodation shall be allotted to them as the ship affords.

2. The hatches and all other places of entrance into that part of the ship where cargo is stowed may be secured by the Corean Customs officers between the hours of sunset and sunrise, and on Sundays and holidays, by affixing scals, locks, or other fastenings, and if any person shall, without duc permission, wilfully open any entrance that has been so secured, or break any seal, lock, or other fastening that has been affixed by the Corean Customs officers, not only the person so offending, but the master of the ship also, shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding 100 Mexican dollars.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH AUGUST, 1884.

711

3. Any British subject who ships, or attempts to ship, or discharges, or attempts to discharge, oods which have not been duly entered at the custom-house in the manner above provided, or packages containing goods different from those described in the import or export permit application,

prohibited goods, shall forfeit twice the value of such goods, and the goods shall be confiscated.

4. Any person signing a false declaration or certificate with the intent to defraud the revenue of Corea shall be liable to a fine not exceeding 200 Mexican dollars.

5. Any violation of any provision of these Regulations, to which no penalty is specially attache I herein, may be punished by a fine not exceeding 100 Mexican dollars.

Note. All documents required by these Regulations, and all other communications addressed to the Corean Customs authorities, may be written in the English language.

Corean Plenipotentiary.

Protocol.

The above-named Plenipotentiaries hereby make and append to this Treaty the following three declarations :-

1. With reference to Article III of this Treaty, it is hereby declared that the right of extra- territorial jurisdiction over British subjects in Corea granted by this Treaty shall be relinquished when, in the judgment of the British Government, the laws and legal procedure of Corea shall have been so far modified and reformed as to remove the objections which now exist to British subjects being placed under Corean jurisdiction, and Corean Judges shall have attained similar legal qualifications and a similar independent position to those of British Judges.

2. With reference to Article IV of this Treaty, it is hereby declared that if the Chinese Government shall hereafter surrender the right of opening commercial establishments in the city of Hanyang, which was granted last year to Chinese subjects, the same right shall not be claimed for British subjects, provided that it be not granted by the Corean Government to the subjects of any other Power.

3. It is hereby declared that the provisions of this Treaty shall apply to all British Colonies, unless any exception shall be notified by Her Majesty's Government to that of Corea within one year from the date in which the ratifications of this Treaty shall be exchanged.

9th September, 1884.

SIR,-As it will probably be of considerable interest to His Excellency the Governor and the Government to know what has been achieved in providing a Herbarium for the use of this Department, the Colony, and China generally, I have the honour to report that I have just completed the re-arrange- ment of the specimens and I find there are 2,051 species of plants represented in our dried collection. These I commenced to collect soon after my appointment to this establishment, and the work has been continued whenever I could avail myself of any opportunity. As it was impossible to find time in the day-time a great deal of this work was done by night. About a couple of years ago I commenced to re-arrange and re-label the collection according to the new system adopted in the Genera Plantarum, a great work, just completed, on which Sir JOSEPH HOOKER and Mr. BENTHAM were occupied for upwards of 20 years. References have been made to the Genera Plantarum for the position in the system of every one of these 2,000 species and new labels have been written for each specimen.

The following sample exhibits the manner in which each specimen is labelled :--

57. Leguminosa.

Tribus 2. Genisteæ.

These specimens are accommodated in eight cabinets which have been made with a special view to preserving the contents as far as possible from damp. By an alteration in my office arrangements I have been enabled to place the cabinets in a room to themselves where a fire can occasionally be made for expelling the damp. The specimens are conveniently arranged for reference by any one who may wish to make use of them in botanical studies. A small collection of botanical works of reference is also adjacent to the herbarium.

I have the honour to be,

* See No. II.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH SEPTEMBER, 1884. 755

ARTICLE I.

The commerce of Greece in Egypt, and the commerce of Egypt in Greece, shall be treated upon the footing of the most favoured nation as regards customs duties, both of import and export.

ARTICLE II.

No prohibition of importation or exportation can be applied to the reciprocal commerce of both countries unless it be equally applied to all other nations. It is nevertheless understood that this restriction does not extend to the special measures which either of the two countries may take in order to protect itself against cattle plague, phylloxera, or any other plague.

ARTICLE III.

The Egyptian Government engages, with the exceptions hereafter specified in Article VI, not to prohibit the importation into Egypt of any article being the produce of the soil or industry of Greece, whencesoever arriving.

ARTICLE IV.

The duties to be levied in Egypt upon the produce of the soil or industry of Greece whencesoever arriving, shall be regulated by a Tariff to be fixed by Commissioners appointed ad hoc by the two Governments.

The fixed duty of 8 per cent. ad valorem shall be adopted as a basis for this Tariff, and shall be calculated on the value of the goods at the landing-stage; but the Egyptian Government reserves the right to raise to a higher rate the duties on distilled drinks, wines, and articles of luxury; these duties shall, however, in no case exceed the rate of 16 per cent. ad valorem.

The Egyptian Government further reserves the right to diminish to the rate of 5 per cent., and even to abolish entirely, the duties on articles of prime necessity imported into Egypt.

The customs duties shall be collected without prejudice to the penalties fixed by the regulations in cases of fraud and contraband.

ARTICLE V.

Tobacco of all kinds, tombac (metal), salt, carbonate of soda, hachish, and saltpetre are excluded from the stipulations of the present Convention.

The Egyptian Government reserves an absolute right with regard to these articles, the regulations in regard to which shall be applied to Hellenic subjects under the same conditions as to natives.

The Egyptian Government may make all immediate searches in shops or dewllings which they may think necessary. A duplicate of the search warrant shall be sent to the Hellenic Consular autho- rity, who may at once attend if he thinks expedient. This formality shall not, however, delay the search.

ARTICLE VI.

The exceptions to the stipulations of Article III, namely, warlike arms (comprising fire-arms and le-arms) and munitions of war, shall not be admitted to importation into Egypt.

The above restriction does not apply to arms for the chase or arms of luxury ("armes de luxe"), to powder for hunting purposes. The importation of these articles shall be regulated by special provions on the part of the Egyptian Government.

ARTICLE VII.

Goods imported into Egypt and re-exported within a period not exceeding six months, shall be considered as goods in transit, and under that category shall pay only a duty of 1 per cent., calculated on the value at the landing-stage.

After the period of six months they shall be liable to the full import duty.

If the re-exportation takes place at the actual port of disembarkation-by means of a simple tran- pent-or after disembarkation and deposit of the goods on land under the serveillance provided by the Customs Regulations, within a period of not more than one raonth, the goods shall not be subject to any duty, but the transit duty shall be due if, after having been disembarked and temporarily desited either in the Customs warehouses or in private warehouses, whether floating or not, the goods are re-exported after having been the medium of a commercial operation.

ARTICLE VIII.

If goods, after having paid the import duty in Egypt, shall be sent to another country before the xpiration of the period of six months, counting from the day of disembarkation, they shall be treated ls in transit, and the Egyptian Customs shall refund to the exporter the difference between the already paid and the transit duty mentioned in Article VII.

In order to obtain the drawback, the exporter must produce proof that the import duty has been d on the re-exported goods.

ARTICLE IX.

The produce of the soil and industry of Egypt exported to Greece shall pay an export duty of 1 per cent. ad valorem, calculated on the value of the goods at the exporting stage.

In order to provide greater facility, such produce shall be, so far as possible, tariffed periodically tual agreement between the representatives of the export trade and the Egyptian Customs

ministration.

756

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13тп SEPTEMBER, 1884.

ARTICLE X.

The following are alone exempt from all examination on entry or departure, as well as from all payment of duty, viz., articles and personal effects belonging to Consuls-General and Commissioned Consuls ("Consuls de Carrière") who do not exercise other functions, are not engaged in commerce or manufacture, and do not possess or make use of landed property in Egypt.

ARTICLE XI.

Within a period not exceeding thirty-six hours after the arrival of a vessel in an Egyptian port or harbour, the captain or agent of the owners must deposit at the Custom-house two copies of the cargo manifest, certified by him to be true copies of the original. In the same manner the captains must, before departure from an Egyptian port, present at the Custom-house a copy of the manifest of the goods composing the cargo of their ships. The original manifest, whether on arrival or departure, must be presented at the same time with the copies, to be compared with them.

If a vessel stops in an Egyptian port, for a motive which appears suspicious to the Customs authorities, the latter may require the presentation of the manifest and may immediately make such search as they may deem necessary: the search warrant shall be addressed in such case to the Hellenic Consular authority, as provided in Article V.

Excess or deficit, resulting from the comparison of the manifest with the cargo, will entail the application of the fines specified in the Customs Regulations which shall be promulgated by the Egyp- tian Government.

ARTICLE XII

Every Customs formality in Egypt, whether on arrival or departure, must be preceded by a .declaration signed by the proprietor of the goods or by his representative.

If any question arises the Customs authorities may require the production of all the documents which should accompany a consignment of goods, such as invoices, correspondence, &c.

Any refusal to make the declaration, either on arrival or departure, any delay in making the said declaration, any difference, less or more, which may exist between the goods and the declaration, shall entail the application of the fines provided by the Egyptian Customs Regulations in each of the specified

cases.

ARTICLE XIII.

Custom officers, officers of the vessels belonging to the Egyptian postal service, and officers of vessels belonging to the State, may board any vessel whether sailing or steam of more than 200 tons burden, at anchor or cruizing within 10 kilom. of the shore, without the plea of "force majeure;" may, assure themselves of the nature of the cargo, may seize all prohibited goods, and substantiate any other contravention of the Customs Regulations.

ARTICLE XIV.

Any contraband importation of goods shall entail the application of the confiscation and fines provided by the Egyptian Customs Regulations.

Decisions imposing confiscations and fines must be communicated within the legal period to the Hellenic Consular authority.

ARTICLE XV.

1884.

ARTICLE XVI.

The present Convention shall remain in effect for seven years commencing on the 20th of March,

On the expiration of that period the present Convention shall remain in force during the following year, and so on from year to year until it is denounced, or until the conclusion, if necessary, of a new

agreement.

•

· ADDITIONAL ARTICLE.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modein, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

SUGGESTS FLAG FOR SHIPS WITH NATIONALITY IN CHINESE.

SIR,--The French have commenced military operations. All the sea-ports are now jealously guarded. Vessels of friendly powers will be allowed as hitherto to ply so that trade may be kept up. Now although each nation has a special Flag for its Ships to sail under, it is to be feared that the Chinese Soldiers and people, and the Vessels of War at Sea, may not all know (the Flags) and may find it difficult to distinguish. I have therefore decided to ask you that in future Vessels of War and Merchant Ships coming here, shall fly in addition to their National Flag, another Flag on which shall be inscribed in large Chinese characters the nationality of the Vessel. It is then to be hoped that the distinction being made safety may be secured.

As in duty bound I now write to ask you to notify the Ships. In this proposition I am wholly actuated by a desire to protect foreign shipping; but whether you will have this additional Flag carried or not is a matter for

you to decide.

Suggested FLAG FOR SHIPS COMING IN.

I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your Excellency's Despatch, suggesting that in future all Vessels, both Man-of-war and Merchant, should fly, in addition to their National Flag, a Flag bearing the name of their nation in large Chinese characters, so that the Vessel might be at once recognised; and asking me to notify Ships to that effect.

I have given your suggestion mature consideration and recognize with great pleasure your excellent intention, for which I feel deeply grateful. I would remark that the carrying of an additional Flag with Chinese characters is a matter which would, I believe, require the sanction of the Admiralty. A few days since your Excellency sent a request that the coming of British Men-of-war to Canton might be notified before-hand through me to the Chinese Authorities, and in accordance with that request I asked the Commodore at Hongkong that this suggestion should be complied with.

As regards Merchant Ships, I have endeavoured to carry out your Excellency's idea of rendering identification easy, by notifying them that when coming here they should fly the British Ensign at their Mast-head so as to be easily seen. This I think will be preferable to the plan proposed by you.

I have, &c.,

6. Where, by virtue of any Imperial Act, or of any of the China and Japan Orders in Council, or this Order, or otherwise, any provisions of any Imperial Acts, or of any Orders in Council other than this Order, are applicable in China, Japan, or Corea, or any forms, Regulations, or procedure prescribed or established by or under any such Order or Act, in relation to any matter, are made applicable for any purpose of any of the China or Japan Orders in Council, or of this Order, such Acts, Orders, forms, Regulations, or procedure shall be deemed applicable, so far only as the constitution and jurisdiction of the Courts and the local circumstances permit; and for the purpose of facilitating their application, they may be construed, or used with such alterations and adaptations not affecting the substance as may be necessary, and anything required to be done by or to any Court, Judge, officer, or authority may be done by or to a Court, Judge, officer, or authority having the like or analogous functions; and the seal of the Consular Court may be substituted for any seal required by any such Act, Order, form, Regulation, or procedure, and in case any difficulty occurs in the application of any such Act, Order, form, Regulation, or Procedure, it shall be lawful for a Secretary of State to direct by and to whom and in what manner anything to be done under such Act, Order, or Regulation, is to be done, and such Act or Order shall, in its application to matters arising under the China and Japan Orders in Council, or this Order be construed accordingly.

7. (1.) In cases of murder or manslaughter, if either the death or the criminal act which wholly or partly caused the death, happened within the jurisdiction of a Court acting under the China and Japan Orders in Council or this Order, such Court shall have the like jurisdiction over any person, being a British subject, who is charged either as the principal offender or as accessory before the fact to murder, or as accessory after the fact to murder or manslaughter, as if both such criminal act and the death had happened within such jurisdiction.

(2.) In the case of any crime committed on the high seas, or within the Admiralty jurisdiction, by any British subject on board a British ship, or on board a foreign ship to which he did not belong, a Court acting under this Order shall have jurisdiction as if the crime had been committed within the district of such Court: In cases tried under this Article no different sentence can be passed from the sentence which could be passed in England if the crime were tried there.

8. "The Fugitive Offenders Act, 1881," shall apply, in relation to British subjects, to China, Japan, and Corea respectively, as if such countries were British possessions, and for the purposes of Part II of the said Act and of this Article, China, Japan, and Corea shall be deemed to be one group of British possessions, and Her Majesty's Minister for China, Japan, or Corea (as the case may be), shall have the powers of a Governor or Superior Court of a British possession.

9. Judicial notice shall be taken of the China and Japan Orders in Council and of this Order, and of the commencement thereof, and of the appointment of Consuls or other officers, and of the constitu- tion and limits of the Consular Courts and districts, and of Consular seals and signatures, and of any Rules or Regulations made or in force under the China and Japan Orders in Council or this Order, and no proof shall be required of any of such matters.

The provisions of "The Evidence Act, 1851" (14 & 15 Vict., cap. 99), sections 7 and 11, relat- ing to the proof of Judicial and other documents, shall extend and be applied for all purposes as if the Courts, districts, and places to which the China and Japan Orders in Council or this Order applies were in a British Colony.

10. This Order shall come into operation at such time or times in China, Japan, and Corea respectively as a Secretary of State, by a notice published in the "London Gazette" at or after the time of the publication therein of this Order, directs.

The following report from the Government Astronomer, is published for general information. By Command,

HONGKONG OBSERVATORY.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

Meteorological Observations made during the Typhoon of the 10th and 11th September, 1884.

The Barometer began to fall here as early as the 4th September, and gradients indicated moderate or light winds,-circumstances which are frequently followed by a Typhoon. On the 6th it was pointed out in the China Coast Meteorological Register, that the Barometer was still falling, and cially S.E. of here. In the afternoon of the 7th, a moderate westerly breeze blew over the Philippine espe- Islands, and the Barometer rose in Shanghai and the following day also in Tonquin, those stations ing then covered by the anticyclonic area. On the 8th, the Red Drum was hoisted on the signal mast. The center of the Typhoon was then North of Luzon. Light winds continued to blow here interrupted by calms. The direction whence coming of the lower clouds, which was S.E. on the 4th, backed to N.E. on the 6th, while the upper clouds already on the 5th came up slowly from N.E., and were found to have backed to North on the 7th, when their velocity was moderate. On the 9th the Barometer had fallen at all stations, the cyclonic area had reached here and a moderate breeze from N.N.E. was felt. The upper clouds came moving fast from E.N.E. On the 10th at 5.45 a. directions to fire the Typhoon Gun one round were given, a strong northerly gale being expected, at 10.15 a. the following notice was telegraphed to the Treaty Ports:-"Typhoon approaching Hongkong from the East." and at 6.28 p. directions to fire the Typhoon Gun two rounds were given, it being then curtain, that the velocity of the wind would reach 80 miles an hour.

After passing Hongkong the center moved westward, which I signalled by replacing the Red Pran by the Red Ball. It entered the mainland between Hongkong and St. Jolin Island.

FRERE MEMORIAL FUND.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

Extract from proceedings at a Meeting of the Executive Committee, held on Monday, June 30th, 1884.

MEMORANDUM.It was reported to the Committee that communications had been received from a great number of persons to the effect that, while they are anxious to perpetuate the memory of Sir BARTLE FRERE by some public memorial, such as a statue, they are desirous also to support much more largely any proposal connecting itself personally with the permanent welfare of his family. The Committee were also assured that it is generally felt such a token of regard, as has been accepted by some of the most eminent of our countrymen, would be peculiarly applicable to the case of Sir BARTLE FRERE, who devoted his long and noble life to the service of his country, its colonies and dependencies, without regard to his own emolument and advantage.

It was therefore unanimously

RESOLVED That a sum not exceeding £3,000 be devoted to the erection of a statue, and that the surplus of all subscriptions received be utilised (1) in providing a permanent fund to be conferred, as a testimony of admiration of Sir BARTLE FRERE, on his widow and family in life-rent, and (2) in perpetuating his memory by settling the reversion on the title.

The Committee invite all who knew Sir BARTLE FRERE in private life or admired his public character to take this opportunity of testifying their affection and esteem, so that this tribute of honour to his memory may be offered by as large and representative a section of the community as possible, Subscriptions, which will be advertised in the Times, may be sent to either of the National Provisional Bank of England and all its Branches, and Meseve. Coutts and Co., or to the Treasurer (Sir HERBERT SANDFORD), at 11, Henrietta Street, Covent CCouncil mW.C. Cheques should be crossed "National Pro- vincial Bank of England," or "Coutts & Co."alter or add to regu..

or importation of arms.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and mode.in, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modean, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames,

will be published and sold separately.

The following Letter from Her Britannic Majesty's Consul at Taiwanfoo is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 25th October, 1884.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

BRITISH CONSULATE, TAIWANFOO, October 10th, 1884.

SIR,-I have the honour to inform you that the Taotai of Formosa has requested that friendly steamers, whether men-of-war or merchant vessels, when coming at night to Anping, Takow, or Pong-hou (Pescadores), (and the Taotai also adds.Tamsui and Keelung) will observe the following signals, to guard against being fired at from the forts or military stations.

The steamer should sound her whistle once, and then sound it twice; then hoist one lantern at the mizen peak, to which the fort should reply by hoisting one lantern; then the steamer should hoist two lanterns, and the fort should reply by hoisting two. If the fort (or shore defences) should not reply by hoisting the lantern signal, it may be apprehended that the fort failed to recognise the steamer's signals, and the steamer should then whistle again, sounding her whistle three times, and continue doing so, until the fort hoists the lantern or lanterns.

Unless the signal be returned with the lantern, I presume, it would not be safe to approach.

If approaching in the day time, the national flag should be hoisted high. It would probably be

well to hoist it in the most conspicuous position on the fore or main mast.

The Taotai proposes that the Custom House should discontinue (temporarily) the showing of the light at the lighthouse at Takow, but he makes no mention of discontinuing the lights at the Pescadores or Anping.

The Senior British Naval Officer,

&c.,

&e..

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your mest Obedient Servant,

Consul.

P.S.-The entrance of Takow Harbour was to be blocked with stones on the 8th instant. H.M.S. Fly moved out on the 7th.

M. le Ministre,--By Article VI of the Agreement between the Governments of Great Britain and Siam for regulating the traffic in spirituous liquors of the 6th April, 1883, it is stipulated that, "Subject to the provisions of Article V, the present Agreement shall come into operation on a date to be fixed by mutual consent between the two Governments.'

I have now the honour to propose, on behalf of Her Majesty's Government, that the 1st January, 1885, be fixed as the date in question; and I should be glad to receive a note from you to the effect that this proposal is accepted by the Siamese Government.

I beg leave, at the same time, to state that the fact of a date being thus fixed will in no wise prejudice the right of British subjects, under Article V of the aforesaid Convention, to claim, now or hereafter, the treatment accorded to subjects of the most favoured nation in regard to the spirit trade in Siam.

On behalf of the Siamese Government, I beg to accept this date, and to assure your Lordship that the Siamese Government is fully alive to the fact to which your Lordship makes reference, that the fixing of the date cannot in any way prejudice the right of British subjects secured to them under the Vth Article of the aforesaid Agreement.

THE Government of Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the Government of His Majesty the King of Siam, being desirous of making satisfactory arrange- ments for the regulation of the traffic in spirituous liquors in Siam, the undersigned, duly authorized to that effect, have agreed as folows:---

ARTICLE I

Spirits of all kinds not exceeding in alcoholic strength those permitted to be manufactured by the Siamese Government in Siam may be imported and sold by British subjects on payment of the same duty as that levied by the Siamese excise laws upon spirits manufactured in Siam; and spirits exceed - ing in alcoholic strength spirits manufactured in Siam as aforesaid may be imported and sold upon payment of such duty and of a proportionate additional duty for the excess of alcoholic strength above the Siamese Gevernment standard,

$52

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1ST NOVEMBER, 1884.

Beer and wines may be imported and sold by British subjects on payment of the same duty as that levied by the Siamese excise laws upon similar articles manufactured in Siam, but the duty on imported beer and wines shall in no case exceed 10 per cent. ad valorem.

The said duty on imported spirits, beer, and wines shall be in substitution of, and not in addition to, the import duty of 3 per cent. leviable under the existing Treaties; and no further duty, tax, or imposition whatever shall be imposed on imported spirits, beer, and wines.

The scale of excise duty to be levied upon spirits, beer, and wines manufactured in Siam shall be communicated by the Siamese Government to Her Majesty's Agent and Consul-General at Bangkok, and no change in the excise duties shall affect British subjects until after the expiration of six months from the date at which such notice shall have been communicated by the Siamese Government to Her Majesty's Representative at Bangkok.

ARTICLE II.

The testing of spirits imported into the kingdom of Siam by British subjects shall be carried out by European officials nominated by the Siamese authorities, and by an equal number of experts nominated by Her Majesty's Consul. In case of difference the parties shall nominate a third person, who shall act as umpire.

ARTICLE III.

The Siamese Government may stop the importation by British subjects into Siam of any spirits which, on examination, shall be proved to be deleterious to the public health; and they may give notice to the importers, consignees, or holders thereof to export the same within three months from the date of such notice, and if this is not done the Siamese Government may seize the said spirits and may destroy them, provided always that in all such cases the Siamese Government shall be bound to refund any duty which may have been already paid thereon.

The testing of spirits imported by British subjects, and which may be alleged to be deleterious, shall be carried out in the manner provided by Article II.

The Siamese Government engage to take all necessary measures to prohibit and prevent the sale of spirits manufactured in Siam which may be deleterious to the public health.

ARTICLE IV.

Any British subject who desires to retail spirituous liquors, beer, or wines in Siam must take out a special licence for that purpose from the Sianiese Government, which shall not be refused without just and reasonable cause.

This licence may be granted upon conditions to be agreed upon from time to time between the two Governments.

ARTICLE V.

British subjects shall at all times enjoy the same rights and privileges in regard to the importation and sale of spirits, beer, wines, and spirituous liquors in Siam as the subjects of the most favoured nation; and spirits, beer, wines, and spirituous liquors coming from any part of Her Britannic Majesty's dominions shall enjoy the same privileges in all respects as similar articles coming from any other country the most favoured in this respect.

It is therefore clearly understood that British subjects are not bound to conform to the provisions of the present Agreement to any greater extent than the subjects of other nations are so bound.

ARTICLE VI.

Subject to the provisions of Article V, the present Agreement shall come into operation on a date to be fixed by mutual consent between the two Governments, and shall remain in force until the expiration of six months' notice given by either party to determine the sarne.

The existing Treaty engagements between Great Britain and Siam shall continue in full force until the present Agreement comes into operation--and after that date, except in so far as they are modified hereby.

Should the present Agreement be terminated the Treaty engagements between Great Britain and Siam shall revive, and remain as they existed previously to the signature hereof.

ARTICLE VII.

In this Agreement the words "British subject" shall include any naturalized or protected subject of Her Britannic Majesty; and the words "Her Majesty's Consul" shall include any Consular officer of Her Britannic Majesty in Siam.

In witness whereof the Undersigned have signed the same in duplicate, and have affixed thereto their scals.

In fog, mist or falling snow, whether by day or night, the signals described in this Article shall be used as follows; that is to say,-

(a.) A steam ship under way shall make with her steam whistle, or other steam sound signal,

at intervals of not more than two minutes, a prolonged blast.

(b.) A sailing ship under way shall make with her fog horn, at intervals of not more than two minutes, when on the starboard tack one blast, when on the port tack two blasts in succession, and when with the wind abaft the beam three blasts in succession. (c.) A steam ship and a sailing ship, when not under way, shall at intervals of not more

than two minutes ring the bell.

Speed of Ships to be moderate in Fog, &c.

Art. 13. Every ship, whether a sailing ship or steam ship, shall in a fog, mist, or falling snow, go at a moderate speed.

Steering and Sailing Rules.

Art. 14. When two sailing ships are approaching one another, so as to involve risk of collision, one of them shall keep out of the way of the other, as follows, viz.:

(a.) A ship which is running free shall keep out of the way of a ship which is close-hauled. (b.) A ship which is close-bauled on the port tack shall keep out of the way of a ship which

is close-hauled on the starboard tack.

(c.) When both are running free with the wind on different sides, the ship which has the

(d.) When both are running free with the wind on the same side, the ship which is to

(e.) A ship which has the wind aft shall keep out of the way of the other ship.

Art. 15. If two ships under steam are meeting end on, or nearly end on, so as to involve risk of collision, each shall alter her course to starboard, so that each may pass on the port side of the other.

This Article only applies to cases where ships are meeting end on, or nearly end on, in such a manner as to involve risk of collision, and does not apply to two ships which must, if both keep on their respective courses, pass clear of each other.

The only cases to which it does apply are, when each of the two ships is end on, or nearly end on, to the other; in other words, to cases in which, by day, each ship sces the masts of the other in a line, or nearly in a line, with her own; and by night, to cases in which each ship is in such a position as to see both the side lights of the other.

It does not apply, by day, to cases in which a ship sees another ahead crossing her own course; or by night, to cases where the red light of one ship is opposed to the red light of the other, or where the green light of one ship is opposed to the green light of the other, or where a red light without a green light, or a green light without a red light, is seen ahead, or where both green and red lights are scen anywhere but ahead.

Art. 16. If two ships under steam are crossing, so as to involve risk of collision, the ship which has the other on her own starboard side shall keep out of the way of the other.

Art. 17. If two ships, one of which is a sailing ship, and the other a steam ship, are proceeding in such directions as to involve risk of collision, the steam ship shall keep out of the way of the sailing ship.

Art. 18. Every steam ship, when approaching another ship, so as to involve risk of collision, sball slacken her speed or stop and reverse, if necessary.

Art. 19. In taking any course authorised or required by these Regulations, a steam ship under way may indicate that course to any other ship which she has in sight by the following signals on her steam whistle, viz. :--

One short blast to mean "I am directing my course to starboard."

Two short blasts to mean "I am directing my course to port."

Three short blasts to mean "I am going full speed astern."

The use of these signals is optional, but if they are used the course of the ship must be in accord- ance with the signal made.

Art. 20. Notwithstanding anything contained in any preceeding Article, every ship, whether a sailing ship or a steain ship, overtaking any other shall keep out of the way of the overtaken ship.

Art. 21. In narrow channels every steam ship shall, when it is safe and practicable, keep to that side of the fairway or mid-channel which lies on the starboard side of such ship.

Art. 22. Where by the above rules one of two ships is to keep out of the way, the other shall keep her course,

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1st NOVEMBER, 1884. 857

In the daytime--

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modean, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

This Standard Werk on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

NOTICE.

From the first day of January 1885, the new Electric Time-ball by S. A. VARLEY is to be dropped at Tsimshatsui by the Mean Time Clock at the Observatory.

The ball will be hoisted half-mast at 12" 55" p., hoisted to the top at 12" 57" p. and dropped at 1* 0 0.0 p. Hongkong Civil Time.

Hongkong Civil Time is henceforth counted from the meridian of the Observatory, i. e. the meridian passing through the middle of the transit instrument and through the middle of the white meridian-mark crected, according to a triangulation by the Surveyor General, 11,354 feet south of the transit instrument on the side of the hill above Wantsai.

The longitude of the Observatory is, according to observations made by Licut. Commander GREEN, U.S.Ñ., in 1881, 7" 36" 41.86 East of the meridian of the Royal Observatory, Greenwich.

The geographical latitude of the Observatory is 22° 18′ 12′′.2 North according to Colonel PALMER's observations in 1882.

The Time-ball will enable masters of vessels to examine and rate their chronometers without taking them on shore, and by permission of the Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the Colonies, chronometers may, on payment of a fee, be deposited at the Observatory for examination and rating, and certificates of the constants of each chronometer and of the relative trustworthiness of different chronometers may be issued by me.

FREDERICK STEWART,

for the Colonial Secretary,

Barrier at the Woosung Inner Bar: Precautions to be taken to prevent Collisions.

With reference to Local Notice to Mariners No. 27, dated the 25th ultimo, in which it was intimated, at the request of the Taotai, Superintendent of Customs, that the erection of a Barrier at the Woosung Inner Bar was about to be commenced and that the sides of a passage, 250 feet in width, through the Barrier would be marked as follows:

Starboard side of channel, entering from sea,...

Port side of channel, entering from sea,

.....During day-time, a Red Flag; during night-time, Two Red

Lights in a vertical line.

..During day-time, a Blue and White Flag (J, Commercial Code); during night-time, Two Green Lights in a

vertical line.

Notice is hereby given that the piles defining the channel through the Barrier have now been driven and marked as above described; and, in order to prevent accidents, it is recommended that hereafter not more than one vessel shall pass through at a time.

When, therefore, two vessels are approaching the Barrier at such a speed as would bring them there together, the following rule should be observed:-

If the vessels are going in opposite directions, the one having the tide against her should wait for the one going with the tide to pass the Barrier first; and a vessel overtaking another should regulate her speed so as to allow the one ahead to go through first.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modean, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

CLOSING OF THE SESSION.--The Honourable P. RYRIE addressed the Council in the following

terms:

"Your Excellency, as you are now about to prorogue this the first session of the newly constituted Council, I ask leave to make a few remarks regarding it. I think every one will admit that the progress of business during the session has been most satisfactory. The harmony that has prevailed could not be surpassed, I am sure, in any similar assembly in any part of the world; and I attribute this, first, to the fact that the measures which Your Excellency has brought forward, and the money votes for which you have asked this Council, have been acknowledged by everyone to be for the benefit of the entire public of the Colony; and I feel assured that in the expenditure of these votes every possible economy consistent with efficiency will be studied. Much of this harmony has also been due to the genial manner and thorough business qualifications Your Excellency has displayed in conducting the business of the Council. It has been my experience in days gone by in this Council that there has been a certain amount of friction and asperity of feeling between the official and unofficial elements, but nothing of the sort has displayed itself during the present session, and I feel assured that we shall see no recurrence of it during Your Excellency's term of office; and that you will always receive the support of the members of this Council. I think no one will deny that the re-constituted Council has been a success. It may be said by some people that our new unofficial members have not given us any great oratorical displays since the session commenced, but the organisation of the various committees where every measure is thoroughly discussed and threshed out before coming to the Council, has rendered these displays unnecessary. In conclusion, I consider Your Excellency has brought this Council into good working order, and I am sure you will have the support of all the official and unofficial members in maintaining it in that state."

His Excellency the Governor closed the Session with the following Speech

'HONOURABLE GENTLEMEN OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL,

1. The business of the Session, which has lasted for more than four months, having now been brought to a close, I am enabled to release you for a time from your attendance in Council.

2. During the recess, several measures of importance, to which your attention has in some cases been already directed, will be matured by my Government, and will be submitted for your consideration at your next Meeting. I believe that it is universally agreed that the public convenience will be best consulted by opening the annual session of the Council in the month of November of each year.

3. I thank you, in the name of the Queen, for the supplies which you have granted for every branch of Her Majesty's Service in this Colony. It will be the duty of my Government to exercise a watchful supervision over their expenditure, and to practise such economy as may be consistent with the efficiency of the several Departments. As you are already aware, it has been my object to reserve as much money as possible for the prosecution of the important Sanitary and other Public Works which are urgently required. The Report recently laid before you by the Acting Auditor General shows that the probable assets of the Colony on the 1st January, 1885, will amount to $659,402. This sum will probably suffice for next year's expenditure on the Extraordinary Works connected with Sanitation and the increased Water Supply; so that it will not be necessary before the close of 1885 to take any steps for raising the small loan not to exceed one year's revenue, which you have already sanctioned in principle. It will be recollected that Hongkong is one of the very few communities in the world which is now absolutely without a Public Debt.

4. With regard to legislation; Twenty Bills have become law during the Session. Of these several are of much public importance, and received your careful attention; such are, in particular, the Ordinances for the Registration of Medical Practitioners; for the facilita- tion of the business of Savings' Banks; for the regulation of the Post Office; and for the re-arrangement of the Stamp duties; together with several measures amending former Ordinances which experience had proved to be defective. It may be confidently expected that valuable and permanent results will be developed from legislation of such a character, based on no abstract theories, but on practical experience; and neither impaired by haste, nor influenced by favour, nor impeded by faction.

5. With regard to Public Works; I am happy to be able to announce that a large instalment of the Sanitary improvements sanctioned by you has already been accomplished. The reclamation of the unhealthy lands at Yaumati, on the Kowloon Peninsula, is nearly completed; and the reclamation from the sea at Causeway Bay will be finished before the end of this year. In both these localities, extensive areas will be thrown open for

building purposes. Morcover, under arrangements with several owners of marine allotments in that quarter, the construction of sea-walls and embankments has also been initiated at the Western extremity of the City; and the early erection is expected of an important suburb in that neighbourhood.

6. Owing to the length of the negotiations with the War Office and the Admiralty, I have not yet received the final decision of the Imperial Government on the proposal to unite the Eastern and Western Prayas by an embankment and road in front of the Naval and Military Establishments. But steam-dredging machinery has already arrived from England, and will shortly be put into operation along the noxious foreshore. An aggregate length of two miles of new and improved main sewers has been constructed in the streets principally of the Central and Eastern districts, forming portion of the com- prehensive system of drainage in contemplation for the entire City. But in respect of the equally vital question of private house-drainage, it has been found necessary to defer action pending the passing of the new Building Ordinance, which will be presented for your consideration during the next Session.

The

7. Among other works of public importance, the new Victoria College and the Quarantine Hospital at Stone Cutters' Island are now being actively pushed forward; while the works in the Tytam Valley in connexion with the extension of the Water Supply continue to make as favourable progress as the difficult nature of that undertaking will permit. Preparations are being made for the early erection of the new Central Market. funds required to defray the cost of draining the marshy lands in the Wong-nci-chong Valley, with the view to their conversion into a Public Park, having been voted by you, no avoidable delay will take place in commencing a work so desirable on Sanitary and on other public grounds.

8. With respect to Public Education; the Report of the Government Inspector, which has been laid on your table, bears witness to satisfactory progress. It will be seen that 'both the number of Primary Schools under Government supervision in the Colony, and the number of Scholars attending such schools have been more than doubled in the last ten years.' It is, moreover, particularly gratifying to observe that this increase extends to the female as well as to the male portion of the community. At the same time, it is certain that great advantage will be gained for the higher education through the erection of the new Victoria College, and through the foundation of Government Scholarships enabling a certain number of promising young men to complete their professional studies in England.

9. Much attention has been given during the past year to the improvement of the drill and discipline of our Police Corps, which is now a very efficient body. One favourable result is the diminution of serious and violent crime. Successful efforts have also been made towards the suppression of gambling-houses; an object to which the principal members of the Chinese community rightly attach special importance; and to which the Honour- able Member who so worthily represents in this Council his Chinese countrymen recently called attention.

10. I have now glanced at the internal affairs of this Colony under the several heads of Finance, Legislation, Public Works, Education, and Police. But, Honourable gentlemen, it should never be forgotten that Hongkong is the centre of British power, influence, and commerce in this quarter of the globe; and that, as I know on the very highest authority, the foremost statesmen of England attach far greater importance to this Colony than to other Colonies of infinitely larger territorial extent. Consequently, we are here deeply interested in the stirring events passing around us, and especially in the concerns of the vast neighbouring Empire. I congratulate you on the prospect of permanent peace between France and China, notwithstanding some fresh disturbances in Tonquin; for the outbreak of war could not fail to prove a grave interruption to the trade of this Colony. I congratulate you also on the probable prospect of, ere very long, seeing China thrown open, through the extension of railways and telegraphs, to the influences of European commerce and civilization. I have not omitted to suggest both to the Imperial Govern- ment and to the British Minister at Peking that it is highly desirable to press alike on the French and on the Chinese Governments the importance of opening to general trade the rich South-eastern Provinces of China, and also those extensive countries in the Indo- Chinese Peninsula, which have lately been brought under the rule or protectorate of France.

11. And now, Honourable gentlemen, in conclusion, permit me to thank you on my own behalf, as the Representative of the Queen, for the valuable advice and assistance which you have afforded me during the recent Session, and for the zeal and assiduity with which you have applied yourselves to the questions of public interest which I have

proposed for your consideration.

consideration. It is alike my pride and happiness to recognize the cordial relations existing between myself and all the members of the Council. It is generally agreed, moreover, that your conduct has already fully justified my efforts to procure the consent of the Imperial Government to an enlargement of the unofficial element in your body, with the view of securing a more adequate representation of the opinions and feelings of the entire Community. You have indeed left little to be desired · by the warmest friends of Hongkong, whether here or elsewhere, except that, under the favour of the Supreme Ruler, future Sessions may maintain the high character, that the loyalty, moderation, and public spirit with which you have commenced the exercise of your privileges and the performance of your duties, have already carned for the re-constructed Legislature of this Colony.

12. I now prorogue this Council to the 19th day of next November."

HONOURABLE GENTLEMEN OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL,

I have much pleasure in opening this Session, and in inviting your co-operation in its labours and duties.

2. Full information with regard to the Financial position of the Colony at the present time will be laid before you in the Report of the Colonial Secretary and Auditor General. The political and other complications which have now for a considerable period affected generally this quarter of the globe and especially the neighbouring Empire of China, have exercised an injurious influence on trade and commerce, and consequently on the resources of this community. It is, however, believed that this depression will prove to be only temporary, and that the restoration of peace will restore the elasticity of the public revenue. Meanwhile, it will be necessary to practise a prudent economy.

A list of the Public Works proposed and commenced will be submitted for your consideration; and I request, that you will report which of those works should, in your opinion, be pushed on and which postponed. Your local knowledge and experience will prove of practical advantage in enabling my Government to arrive at a sound decision on this point. It may become expedient, moreover, to revise the Estimates for 1885.

3. In opening the last Session, I informed you that the necessity of strengthening the Military of this important Naval and Military Station and great mart of commerce had been urgently nted to the Imperial Government. Without referring to the value of the other and manifold rests, both Imperial and Colonial, which are at stake here, I reminded you that Official Statistics that the tonnage of the shipping entered at the Port of Hongkong in the year 1883, exceeded five millions of tons; that is, it exceeded the tonnage of the shipping entered at the Port of London in 13. the year in which Hongkong was annexed to the British Crown. At the present day, the shipping of Hongkong exceeds that of all Ports in the United Kingdom with the exception of London Liverpool. The value of the property of every kind in this community is estimated at not less n twenty millions sterling; and this is without taking into account the Naval and Military Arsenals, Stores, and Barracks. The Imperial Government has determined to proceed with the completion of the four principal Forts which are deemed by the Military Authorities to be necessary for the protection from hostile attack of this City, with its harbour and shipping. Towards the cost of these works, this Colony is expected to contribute the sum of £56,000. The payment of this contribution will be spread over two years; and you will probably agree that it should be ultimately charged against the moderate loan, not exceeding one year's revenue, which you have already sanctioned in principle for the construction of urgently required public works. I recommend this question to your early and favourable consideration.

4. You are already aware, from papers presented during the last Session, that I have strongly pressed the expediency, on sanitary and other grounds, of the junction of the Eastern and Western divisions of this City by means of a continuous Marine Embankment along the sea-frontage of the Military cantonments and of the Royal Naval Yard. The Colonial Office in England supports my recommendation; but I regret to announce that its negotiations with the War Office and Admiralty have not as yet been brought to a successful issue.

5. During the course of the Session, reports and other papers will be laid before you showing the condition of the several Departments of the Public Service; which is generally satisfactory.

6. With regard to Legislation, there will be submitted to you, among other measures, Bills to make certain amendments in the Bankruptcy Law; to regulate Weights and Measures; to codify the law of Bills of Exchange; to amend certain Provisions of the Merchant Shipping Act; to appropriate certain unclaimed balances of Bankrupt and Intestate Estates; and to amend the Building Ordinance.

7. It is hoped, moreover, that the progress in its important work of the Commission appointed to consolidate the laws now in force in this Colony will enable several revised Ordinances to be proposed during the present Session.

8. You will further be requested to consider the propriety of enacting in a permanent form certain provisions of the temporary Peace Preservation Ordinance. On a recent occasion, the precautionary measures promptly adopted by the Civil Government with the support of the Military, speedily repressed the tendency to disorder which for a short period seemed to be threatening among the lower section of the Chinese population. Perfect tranquillity was at once restored. It must always be remembered that the position of the Chinese in Hongkong is essentially different from that of the natives in India, and in other possessions of the Crown acquired by conquest, where British rule has been. imposed on peoples with long established institutions of their own. Hongkong, on the other hand, when ceded to the British Crown in 1843, was little more than a barren rock, inhabited only by a few fishermen and pirates. Since the first establishment of our rule here, a Chinese immigration, now amounting to above 150,000, has settled in this British territory of its own free will, and for the sake of its own convenience and profit. It is obvious that this new population, while entitled to the full protection of the English laws, is bound to obey those laws. Moreover, the Government of Hongkong, while expecting the loyal support of all the nationalities dwelling here together under the British flag, has ample strength of itself to enforce obedience, and to brook no interference from the Chinese Secret Societies, or from other illegal or unauthorized associations. It is satisfactory to know that the principal Chinese Merchants, and all other Chinese residents of worth and substance, appreciate the advantages which they enjoy in this community, and are favourable to the adoption of measures required for the maintenance of law and order, and for the protection of industry and property.

9. In conclusion, Honourable Gentlemen, I would express my confident hope that a steady and prudent development of the resources of this Colony, coupled with constant firmness and justice,— not dry but sympathetic justice,—on the part of the Government and Legislature will, by the favour of Divine Providence, secure the general welfare and contentment of all races and classes of our population. His Excellency the Governor having left the Council Chamber, the chair was taken by the Chief Justice, as Senior Member.

The Colonial Secretary moved that the following gentlemen be appointed a Committee to prepare the address in reply to His Excellency's Speech:-

The Honourable THE COLONIAL SECRETARY.

The Honourable THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.

The Council re-assembled at 4 P.M.

The Chief Justice took the Chair.

The Acting Clerk of Councils read at the table the following Address to be presented to His Excellency the Governor, in reply to the Speech he had been pleased to deliver to the Council:-

MAY IT PLEASE YOUR EXCELLENCY,

1. We the members of the Legislative Council of Hongkong, in Council assembled, desire to thank Your Excellency for your speech, and to assure you of our cordial co-operation in the labours and duties of the Session which has now been opened.

2. We regret that the trade and commerce of the Colony have been injuriously affected by the political complications which prevail in this region; but we trust with Your Excellency that the present depression will prove to be only temporary, and that the return of peace at no distant date will restore the elasticity of the public revenue. Meanwhile we acknowledge the necessity for a prudent economy; and in that view we shall carefully consider the list of proposed public works to be submitted to us, so as to report as to which of them should be pushed on and which may be conveniently postponed.

3. We are glad to hear that the Imperial Government has determined to proceed with the measures required for the protection of this City with its harbour and shipping. We doubt not that the Colony will be prepared to contribute its share towards the cost of the Defence works to be undertaken, and we shall carefully consider such propositions for that purpose as may be laid before us.

We trust, however, that as soon as the plans of the defences are completed, the valuable lands now reserved, which may not be required for military purposes, will be restored to the Colonial Government, free of all restriction.

4. While thanking Your Excellency for the steps that you have taken to impress upon the Imperial Government the expediency of providing for the junction of the Eastern and Western divisions of this City by means of a continuous marine embankment, we regret that the necessary negociations with the War Office and the Admiralty have not yet been brought to a successful issue.

5. We are glad to understand that the condition of the several departments of the public service is satisfactory.

6. We shall carefully consider the Legislative measures which are to be introduced in the course of the Session.

7. We look with hope to the results to be obtained by the Commission appointed to revise and consolidate the laws now in force in this Colony.

8. We shall be glad to consider the propriety of enacting in a permanent form some of the provisions of the temporary Peace Preservation Ordinance. It is a cause for thankfulness and satisfac- tion that on the occasion of the recent disturbances the precautionary measures promptly adopted by the Government, supported by the military, sufficed for the speedy repression of all tendency to disorder and the perfect restoration of tranquillity. While we recognize with pleasure that the Government has ample strength to enforce obedience to law, and will not brook the interference of Chinese Secret Societies, or of other unauthorized associations, we believe with Your Excellency that it will always receive the loyal support of all nationalities dwelling in this Colony under the protection of the British flag.

9. In conclusion, we join with Your Excellency in the sincere hope that, under the favour of Divine Providence, the prudence, firmness and justice of the Government and Legislature will conduce to the general welfare and contentment of all classes and races in the population.

The Honourable P. RYRIE moved that the Address as read be adopted.

HONGKONG OBSERVATORY.

Weather Report for July, 1884.

In the China Coast Meteorological Register, based on information transmitted by the Great Northern the Eastern Extension Telegraph Companies-which I have published daily, is given a summary the atmospheric circumstances in Manila and along the Coast of China between Haiphong and anghai. It also contains information concerning the weather in Nagasaki and Wladiwostock.

On the first of July light SW winds and fine weather prevailed over the China Sea. The barometer I risen along the Coast and the humidity had decreased in the wake of Typhoon I, which disappeared wards NE at the end of June. In the afternoon the barometer began to fall over Luzon, but continued ng along the Coast, and gradients indicated light winds. On the 3rd the weather continued fine, sea smooth and moderate SW winds prevailed, but in the afternoon upper clouds were observed Hongkong to come up from NNE. The barometer continued to rise here, but was falling in ila, where the wind shifted towards N. At this time Typhoon II was E of Luzon. On the 4th same phenomena prevailed, but the wind backed towards S in Manila, where at 10 a. the weather squally and wet. The centre of the depression appears to have been situated in 16° 9′ N and 122° DE. At 10 a. on the 5th in 17° 15′ N and 119° 16′ E it had already crossed the Island, accompanied heavy rain and squalls, but an apparently small area of strong wind. The barometer was then ing along the Coast and the temperature had risen in Hongkong, but fine weather and light winds vailed, and over Luzon, the wind quickly went down to a gentle breeze. At 10 a. on the 6th the tre was in 18° 33′ N and 116° 48' E and the sky became overcast in Hongkong, where a moderate E breeze changed to a strong E breeze later in the day. Fine weather reigned still over Hainan, as as in Amoy, but at midnight the log of the S. S. Phra Chom Klao then in Lat. 15° N Long. 110° E contains the following entry:-" Moderate wind and overcast with vivid lightning and threatening arance towards NNE, and a heavy swell from that quarter," which shows that the disturbance at time, was making itself felt over the greater portion of the China Sea. At 10 a. on the 7th the tre was in 18° 44′ N and 113° 22′ E. The weather became threatening over Hainan, thundersqualls were felt, the NE breeze freshened during the day and a strong current of water set in from the East. A moderate E gale blew in Hongkong with a rising barometer.

On the whole the winds appear to

ve been more violent in the right semi-circle, than in the left. The progressive speed of the dis- hance was now quickly increasing, and about midnight the centre entered the Island of Hainan. 2 a. on the 8th the centre passed, perhaps, within a distance of 60 miles South of Hoihow. From rvations by Captain MARSDEN of the S. S. Rory and others, then at anchor in the harbour, it appears between one and three o'clock, the barometer was nearly steady at 29.00, and the wind which re the first named hour blew a whole gale from North now veered to SE with a force varying ween a light and moderate breeze, and during the above interval, the sky partially cleared. Sub-

ently the rain poured down again and the wind rose to at least storm-force at 4 a. A completed its passage of the island and appears to have been at 10 a. on the 8th in 20° 22' N and E. In Pakhoi, the barometer had reached its minimun and a whole E gale of wind was wing. In Tohquin,-where of course the barometer had been failing steadily,the weather still thed une, the sky was partly clear and a light breeze blew from NNW. In the Gulf of Tonquin typhoon appears, at first, to have moved towards NW, but to have been deflected by the coast so at it approached Haiphong from the East, passing close South of that town at about half past six in

the evening, when the barometer fell to 29.00. It caused great destruction in the French Settlements in that neighbourhood, the inhabitants of which were evidently quite unprepared for such an occurrence. 2.4 inches of rain were collected on the 8th and 4.8 inches on the 9th, but the wind does not appear to have reached typhoon-force and perhaps did not exceed a whole gale. The typhoon then disappeared in its motion westward.

Meantime light southerly and south-westerly winds had blown over Luzon and the barometer had been rising. The rise was checked in the afternoon on the 8th, after which it fell quickly, owing to Typhoon III, which was then approaching the Bashee Channel from about SE. In the evening upper clouds were observed in Hongkong coming from ENE and backing quickly to NNE. In the morning of the 9th, when the centre was in about 15° 23′ N and 125° 16' E. at 10 a., the barometer began to fall at the S. Cape of Formosa, where haze was observed later in the day, and in the evening it fell decidedly in Hongkong. At 10 a. on the 10th the centre appears to have been in about 16° 35′ N and 123° 42′ E. The NE wind increased to a strong breeze at S. Cape, where a heavy swell had set in from the SSE and the threatening appearance of the sky increased and it was blowing from WSW with the same force in Manila. In the evening when the centre was passing round the NE point of Luzon, strong NE winds and a high sea were encountered outside of Amoy, but the wind was light and the weather fine elsewhere along the coast. The gale was still blowing over Luzon, but the direction of the wind had backed to SW in Manila. Heavy rain had then already fallen at S. Cape. At 10 a. on the 11th the centre appears to have been in 19° 47′ N and 121° 25′ E, and fresh NE gales with high sea, and squally weather prevailed in the Formosa Straits, and strong W breezes over Luzon. At S. Cape a moderate gale blowing from the North brought down heavy rain, and the Temperature was 770,-rather low. At 1 p. the Temperature rose to 80°, a thick mist appeared and the wind shifted to ENE, from which point it kept steady, its force increasing from a fresh breeze to a storm at 7 p. At 8 p. the wind began to die out. At 8h 40 p. the lowest reading of barometer 28.36 reduced to 32° but not to sea level was recorded and the wind shifted to SE and the sky partly cleared. The central calm-the "bull's eye" of the mariners-appears to have then been situated about 12 miles towards WSW of the light-house. The wind thereafter veered and when it reached SSW---from which it again continued to blow steadily for 12 hours--at 9" 30", it attained to full typhoon-force, being as violent as any that Mr. G. TAYLOR, the light-keeper in charge, had ever experienced. By this time, the NE wind had increased to the force of a whole gale at Takow with rain. At 10 p. it had increased to storm force and then it died away, the wind veering to S. The calm passed over the locality at about 11" 15" p. Ten minutes later, the full force of the typhoon broke from SW, with terrific gusts and heavy rain. After midnight it moderated. At 1 a. on the 12th it blew a strong gale in Takow, but now it was blowing with typhoon-force from NE at Ockseu, over which the centre had nearly passed about midnight. A strong E gale was felt at that time at the northern entrance of the Straits, and a whole gale from S with heavy rain in the southern part of the Straits, and at Takow at 3 a. a moderate SE gale with heavy rain squalls. At 10 a. when the centre was in 25° 55′ N and 118° 30′ E the sky cleared in Takow, the rain ceased and a fresh breeze blew from SSW. The typhoon was then blowing in terrific squalls accompanied by blinding rain at Ockseu, and at that time, the centre appears to have been due West of Foochow. Here squally weather with a gale from NE, had been felt in the course of the night. During the 12th the weather got worse and a strong gale from SSE with heavy squalls and much rain did considerable damage about the place. The humidity at Hongkong was then beginning to fall and the temperature to rise steadily, and upper clouds were coming up from NW. A strong breeze blew from SW during the afternoon but no rain fell. In Amoy the wind does not appear to have exceeded a fresh breeze.

It appears as if this typhoon-like many others following a similar track through the Formosa Straits-would have recurved in about 23° N latitude, but was prevented from passing north eastward by the high mountains of the island; and--in contra-distinction to Typhoon I at the end of June which skirted the coast and effected the recurvature north of the island-it at about 11 p. on the 11th suddenly turned north westward and thus struck the opposite coast early in the morning of the 12th. At about 10 a. on the 13th in about 28° 50′ N and 117° 42′ E the centre of the Typhoon appears to have attained its greatest distance inland, but the violence of the disturbance died out and it lost the characteristics of a Typhoon as soon as it struck the coast and only gentle breezes are reported at inland stations. Strong southerly breezes and high seas prevailed in the Straits. At about 10 a. on the 14th it passed northwest of Shanghai, where a fresh breeze from SSE had been felt for some hours in the afternoon of the 13th. The sky became clouded and about half an inch of rain fell in the afternoon but the wind died out. The depression then passed off towards ENE. On the 13th, according to the Daily Weather Reports issued from the Imperial Meteorological Observatory of Tokio, Japan, the barometer had been falling, especially over the Inland Sea, and was under the monthly mean at all their stations, and calms and variable winds prevailed with rain in many places. On the 15th the following remarks were issued by Mr. KNIPPING:-"A depression coming from the W is entering the Sea of Japan with a "decided fall and the lowest barometer readings (29.61 inches) on the W coast, the highest (29.76 "inches) in Eastern Nippon. Winds are generally light and the weather rainy in the S;" and subse- quently it was intimated that the minimum of pressure had travelled NE and was lying of Sakai in the Sea of Japan, with much rain in Central Japan. At 9 p. the centre was in about 33° 12′ N and

Later on during the day it passed eastward, but so far I have not been able to ormation about its further career.

time the Barometer had been rising in Hongkong with fine weather, but in the morning of inger clouds were observed coming from about NE and in the afternoon the barometer com- g. At the same time it was falling over Luzon and at S. Cape, Formosa.. Moderate SW prevailed and clouds formed over the China Sea on this, and on the following day, another A having originated far in the East. On the 17th and 18th squally and wet weather prevailed Luzon and the SW wind attained now the force of a strong breeze. On the latter date the fall beraneter was checked in Hongkong and Manila, but continued to fall over Formosa, where a NW breeze was felt. This freshened on the evening of the 19th, to a strong breeze from the quarter at the S. Cape, the atmosphere at the same time becoming hazy. At this time Typhoon which perhaps originated in the Pacific to the east of Luzon, appears to have been East of Formosa. barometer began to rise over Luzon and the Captain of the S.S. Esmeralda who left Manila at ...mentions the sky at sunset as having a red lurid appearance. At 10 a. on the 20th the contre have been situated in about 22° 8 N and 125° 31′ E. Squally weather with moderate SW des continued over Luzon and a heavy NE swell was remarked over the sea to the NW of the island and a strong NW breeze or moderate gale at S. Cape, the weather, at the latter place, being misty and ally. More moderate winds but overcast and wet weather prevailed in the North of Formosa. derstorms bad passed in the neighbourhood of Hongkong and the falling barometer attained its minimum at 6 p. on the 21st. On the 20th the temperature rose and the following day heavy rain 541 and an upper current from SE was observed. Over Luzon squally weather continued and the rain lin torrents, in fact, over the greater part of the China Sea the weather was gloomy and threatening but only moderate SW breezes were blowing. The Typhoon had hitherto remained in the Pacific and might at the time have been surmised that it would-like other disturbances in this locality- rerve and pass away towards NE, but in the morning hours of the 21st it appears to have altered its course, which hitherto, appears to have been from SE, or thereabout, and it now directed itself towards WNW. At 7 p. on that day the position of the centre was in about 25° 41′ N and 121° 30′ E. The previous evening the NW wind had already risen to a moderate gale with squally weather at Tomsui, and about midday on the 21st, the wind began to back, reached SW and rose to a whole gale from that quarter at 9 P. Hard gales, heavy seas and great rain were encountered North of Formosa, a moderate E breeze with rainy weather was observed in Shanghai, and moderate SW winds and show- weather with occasional thunderstorms, in the northern portion of the China Sea. The centre of disturbance passed north of Middle Dog Lighthouse (25° 59′ N, 120° 2′E) in the early morning of the 22nd, where it shortly after blew a strong gale, but at the other points along the coast the was moderate. The wind calmed down to a moderate breeze at 7 a. on the 22nd in Tamsui. At

on the 22nd the position of the centre of the barometric depression appears to have been 27° 0′ 119 52′ E. It had a few hours before passed close North of Foochow, where the weather was ly although only gentle breezes were felt, but at this time and during the following day, strong breezes were observed in Chinkiang and in Shanghai. The disturbance had lost the character of a The course of the centre became now gradually more inclined northwards. On the 23rd its sition may have been about 29° N and 118° E and on the 24th at 10 a. about 31° 18' N 11 53' E about the latter hour it was raining at Wuhu and a few hours afterwards a fresh SW free sprang up. The centre must at this time have been moving straight northwards, but its path low recurved towards NE. It passed South of Chefoo about 10 a. on the 25th the position of the entre at the time being 36° 36′ N and 121° 8′ E. No strong wind or bad weather are reported from that town, but in the afternoon a fresh breeze is reported from the lighthouse on the Northeast Shan- ng Promontory, in fact the weather was foggy and some rain had fallen. Showers are reported about The same time from Newchwang. Close and oppressive weather is also reported from Korea on the 23rd nd 24th. At 6 p. on the latter day upper clouds coming from WSW were there observed by an officer board H. M. S. Flying Fish, and the barometer had been falling steadily since noon. In the ning of the 24th the wind from South increased in Squalls. At noon, East of the NE Shantung Promontory, the wind had increased to a strong breeze from SE. Heavy rain fell and the sea was high. Subsequently the Flying Fish encountered a fresh gale. It appears that the force of the dis- arbance was increased when it took to the sea again. It struck the coast of Korea about 10 p. the the day in 37° 55′ N and 124° 55′ E. It is probable that it subsequently passed north-eastward, as barometer was falling in Wladivostock with overcast and wet weather. The lowest reading of the

neter 29.35 was recorded at 10 a. on the 26th, but no wind was felt at the time.

On the 21st, the sky cleared in Hongkong. On the 22nd upper clouds were observed at first ing up from East and subsequently from NE, but the barometer was rising at the time, and in did not attain its maximum till about 1 a. on the 27th. On the 23rd, the sky cleared over Luzon. Hough a very strong SW wind was blowing over the Southern part of the China Sea, light 8 and

Is prevailed over the sea to the North and West of Luzon, but the barometer attained its Simm height here as well as at S. Cape, Formosa, already on the 24th, and the weather becare

shortly after again unsettled in Manila. This was owing to Typhoon V then apparently approaching from the SE. On the 25th, it appears to have been East of Luzon, moving slowly towards NW. At 10 a. on the 26th, the position of the centre was perhaps in 15° 14′ N, and 123° 13′ E. In the after- noon, the weather was squally and wet, and at the same time the atmosphere became hazy at S. Cape, Formosa, where a gentle NE breeze was blowing. Early next morning, the centre appears to have entered Luzon where the weather was very bad. At 10 a. its position may have been in 16° 15′ N, and 121° 8′ E. At 10 a. on the 28th, it was in 17° 30′ N, and 118° 56′ E. The weather continued close and misty over Luzon, and rain fell at S. Cape, but it was fine over Hainan and in Hongkong, where light breezes were blowing. In the Formosa Straits moderate NE winds were felt, but in the China Sea between Hongkong and Hainan strong N winds, squally weather with heavy rain and a rising sea were already then encountered. In the evening it looked gloomy here, and in the early morning hours of the 29th, the centre approached nearest to Hongkong, where a strong NE gale accompanied by overcast and wet weather was blowing. At 10 a. on the same day, the centre appears to have been in 19° 18′ N, and 113° 54′ E. The weather continued overcast, heavy rain fell and the sea was high and confused, but the wind had calmed down over that part of the sea which had been visited by the typhoon on the previous day. On the North Coast of Hainan there blew with increas- ing force a strong N breeze. The appearance of the sky was threatening. Dirty looking clouds were coming swiftly from NE, and the sea was rough. In Pakhoi a strong WNW breeze, but fine weather was recorded. In the evening a fresh NNE gale which increased to a strong gale at midnight, blew in heavy squalls with great rain on the North Coast of Hainan, and the sea was high. The Easterly current on the Hoihow Roads is estimated by the Captain of the S.S. Anton to have been 2 miles an hour during the 24 hours of the 29th, and is estimated to have been from 4 to 5 miles an hour on the 30th by the Captain of the S.S. Greyhound. On the 30th at 10 a. the centre was in 18° 38′ N and 111° 7' E. In the gulf of Tonquin, a strong N breeze had blown during the night, and the sky had been partly clear, but in the morning, the Captain of the S.S. Ping On then travelling from Haiphong to Pakhoi remarked the more and more threatening look of the sky, and the clouds coming up fast from NE. At 10 a. heavy squalls with rain were encountered, and the wind began to veer towards NE, its force being then a fresh gale. A whole gale blew North of Hainan, a fresh ESE gale in Hongkong--where the weather was wet and felt close and oppressive,--and a gentle SE breeze in the Southern parts of the China Sea, where fine weather and a smooth sea prevailed. The centre appears to have approached nearest to Kiungchow at about 11 a. when the wind began to calm down somewhat and the sky to clear, but this was succeeded by a whole gale from SE with very heavy rainsqualls. At midnight this went down to a light breeze with a clear sky. During the early morning hours of the 31st the wind blew with typhoon force accompanied by rain squalls in the Gulf of Tonquin, but as the morning wore on the weather improved. At 10 a. on the 31st the centre was perhaps in 17° 12′ N and 105° 30′ E. It appears to have struck the Coast of Northern Annam a few hours before this. Concerning the weather that obtained over the sea immediately south of Hainan-the coast of which the centre of the Typhoon appears to have touched-I have not been able to gather any information. Lower down in the China Sea the weather was fine and the wind a moderate SW breeze, but the S.S. Japan at noon on the 31st in 9° 33' N and 109° 28′ E encountered squally weather, the wind veered to WNW the breeze blew strong and a threatening appearance was observed towards NW. The weather cleared up however in a few hours.

however in a few hours. Meantime the weather in the North of China was fine, as is usual during the passage of a Typhoon over the China Sea. After the Typhoon had passed, light SE winds blew over the China Sca.

The Honourable the Colonial Secretary laid on the table the following Paper :- Despatches respecting the payment of a Roman Catholic Chaplain for the Gaol and Civil Hospital.

ES OF THE GOVERNOR REFERRED TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.-Read the following Minutes

Honey the Governor :-

G. F. BOWEN.

In the speech at the opening of the Session of the Legislative Council on the 3rd instant, Governor informed the Council that it might become expedient to revise the Estimates

Such revision has now been made, and a revised copy of the Estimates is now ready for

nation by the Council.

It has been deemed prudent to reduce the Estimates of Revenue from the amount

stated,

188 lower than what was estimated in June last.

$1,212,138 1,135,000

964

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH DECEMBER, 1884.

As regards the expenditure, it is necessary in the first place to increase the amount by certain items, some of which have been already voted by this Council, whilst the necessity of others has become apparent since the Estimates were framed.

These items added to the original Estimates will bring the total amount up from $1,150,801 to $1,173,521.

On the other hand the Council will be invited to consider certain reductions in expendi- ture, amounting in all to $82,900, the details of which will be laid before them.

The total amount of expenditure will then be reduced from $1,173,521 to $1,085,600 leaving a margin of Revenue to meet unforeseen expenses of about $45,000.

17th December, 1884.

(2.) On laying the Estimates before the Council in June last, it was stated that the Estimate of Extraordinary Public Works to be defrayed from accumulated balances would be postponed till the present Session of Council.

This Estimate is now laid on the table, and the Council is requested to vote the different items amounting altogether to $594,700 as shown in the annexed Schedule.

It is estimated that the amount of accumulated balances on 1st January, 1885 will be $657,500. The balances will therefore be nearly exhausted by the end of next year. But, before that time, it is proposed that a loan of $1,000,000 should be sanctioned to continue the Public Works of an extraordinary nature during the following years.

SCHEDULE.

a. Tytam Water-works.-The sooner this work is completed the better; a large

sum is therefore set down,

b. Military Defences,

c. Central School transferred from Estimates of ordinary expenditure,..

d. Drains and Sea-wall at Lápsápwán, which Government is bound to make, in fulfilment of the agreement with the purchasers of land in that District,

e. Completion of Steam Dredger and cost of dredging operations,.... f. Unspent balance of vote for repairs of Typhoon damages of 1884, re-vote,... g. Sanitary Works, the detail of which will be laid before the Public Works

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds cf the oldest dialcet of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philoto- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Fadicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

HONGKONG OBSERVATORY.

Magnetic Observations made during the year 1884.

W. H. MARSH,

Colonial Secretary.

rvations of Declination and Horizontal Force were all made with the Kew pattern Unifilar r. Elliott Brothers No. 55. The Dip observations were made with one of the needles 1 of the Dip-circle, Dover No. 55, the other needle being found useless on my arrival here, ít apparently been insufficiently packed. The needle No. 1 quickly deteriorated and became use- rly as August, although I did my best to preserve it. The Swedish man-of-war Vanadis the port in October an officer was good enough to lend me two needles by Dover, and the first n on October 22nd was made with No. 2, the second observation as well as that made on the bor day were made with No. 1. The mean of these observations was adopted for September,

r. November and December.

The circle-reading on the Unifilar Magnetometer corresponding to true North was determined by rvations of Polaris reflected from the speculum, and also occasionally by observations of the Sun bigla stars near the first vertical. The typhoon in September blew the roof off the magnetic hut, the mean of the observations made in August and October was adopted for September.

¥ *

The observations of Horizontal Force are expressed in C. G. S. Units (One centimeter, one gramme 1) but the monthly synopsis exhibits X, the Horizontal, as well as Y, the Vertical, and tl. al Forces, which have been computed by aid of the observed Dips, also in English Units, (one foo

ene second) and in Gauss's Units (one millimeter, one milligramme, one second).

value of log «2 K adopted is 3.441997 at 20° Cent., the Induction-Coefficient is: 4.915 the ofm, the magnetic moment of the vibrating magnet at a temperature of t° Cent. to the freezing f water is: +0.000 293t +0.000.0016t2.

The distances between the centres of the deflecting and the deflected magnets are expressed in

rs and the value of the constant P employed in the formula of reduction:

The times of vibration exhibited in the table are each derived from 12 observations of the time by the magnet in making 100 vibrations, corrections having been applied for rate of chrono- } are of vibration.

mean value of the magnetic moment of the vibrating magnet was 0.54245 in English Units, 17.20 in C. G. S. Units.
