“...- K -39- The .same condition regarding the ground at the base of the tower, in the drill yard, prevails at YVanchai Sub Station added to which is the fact that the yard is too small for any important drills to be carried out. Wateh Supply The water supply in Central Hong Kong is very good, and an improved system of larger mains and greater pressure is being carried out in the Western area and which later will be continued to the Eastern area where the service at present is unfortunately still very poor compared with its size, its risks and its ever increas- ing development. With regard to Kowloon the pressure in mains has been con- siderably increased thereby affording the Brigade better facilities for dealing with fires. The services in the Hung Horn and Mong Kok districts however are as yet much below what is required but the work of laying very sufficient mains in both areas is in hand. It is anticipated that by the end of 1924 appreciable developments will have been made. H. T...”

Seeds of the last mentioned were presented to this Department by Captain Hodgins of the S.S. "Hoi Hong" in 1906 ; a specimen of this tree was first discovered at Cape D'Aguilar in 1904 by Mr. S. T.
