£ s. d. Straits Settlements and Federated Malay States 4 7 5 Hong Kong 2 6 0 British Guiana 3 1 0 Trinidad 3 18 8 Jamaica 1 7 8 Mauritius 2 8 0 Gold Coast 1 0 0 Ceylon 13 0 Kenya 12 6 Uganda 4 10 Nigeria 3 8½ These figures are, of course, subject to qualifications which it would take too long to state in detail, and I only give them as a rough estimate. I am not in a position to give figures for the Dominions or India.
