May's report on the Blue Book for 1909 and I need only add here that during last year two further Ordinances (No. 11 and No. 33) were passed-with a view to making its pro- visions more effective, while the Pharmacy Amendment Ordinance (No. 9 of 1910) increased the powers possessed by this Government in controlling poisons including morphine and cocaine. The export of morphine and compounds of opium from Hong- kong to Siam, the Netherlands-India, French Indo-China, Japan, the United States of America, and the Philippine Islands is not permitted except on production of an official certificate from the country con- cerned that such morphine or compounds of opium are required for medical purposes or by the Government of the country.

“...attached) to approved re- cruiters, so as to prevent any misconception in Hongkong regarding their status or that of the men they take with them. The position of the ordinary recruiter in China is not at all secure : there has been more than one instance of recruiters being arrested by the Chinese Police.

The registered mails received from the American Continent by the Canadian Pacific Mail Packets are the largest received at Hong- kong.
