Note 76 — APPENDICES

These tables were kindly prepared for this volume by W. H. Wilkinson, Esq., H.B.M. Consul at Ningpo, from the Trade Report for 1898 of the Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs. The Haikwan tael, in which the Customs accounts are kept, has been taken at 3s., as a fairer current equivalent than the ²⁄₁₀–⁵⁄₈ average, by the advice of Mr. Jamieson, C.M.G., late Consul-General at Shanghai.
