No. 29

I have the honor of transmitting herewith for the information of
Her Majestys Government, a communication from Mr Pemberton
Surveyor General of Vancouvers Island forwarding the reports of
Mr Pearse and Mr Wells, two of his assistants descriptive of
certain districts of country at Cowichin and Nanaimo, lately
surveyed by them.

2. Those reports are accompanied by Maps illustrative of the
situation of those Districts, and of their general character as
to soil and natural productions, and therefore form interesting
additions to the topography of this Colony.

3. I would submit how desirable it would be for these Maps to
be lithographed in England and distributed there as well as sent
out here for sale and distribution in the Colony.

4. The Maps and reports are packed in a small deal case and are
forwarded by the same mail.
