Annotated Checklist of Hongkong Lichens
57 Tropical Bryology 17: 57-101, 1999 Annotated checklist of Hongkong Lichens André Aptroot Centraalbureau voor Schimmelcultures, P.O. Box 273, NL-3740 AG Baarn, The Netherlands Mark R.D. Seaward Department of Environmental Science, University of Bradford, Bradford, West Yorkshire BD7 1DP, United Kingdom Abstract. An annotated checklist of the lichens of Hong Kong, based on all available literature reports and specimens, including those recently collected by the authors, is presented. In total, 261 species are reported, of which 176 are new records for Hong Kong, 132 of which are new for China, 43 are new for East Asia, and 27 are new for Asia. The lichen vegetation is mainly tropical, as is shown by the distribution patterns of the identified species: 53 species are cosmopolitan, 40 northern temperate, 122 pantropical, 17 paleotropical and 29 endemic to tropical East Asia. With regard to substrata, 129 species are corticolous, 148 saxicolous, 17 foliicolous and 19 terricolous. Four species are newly described: Anisomeridium conorostratum Aptroot, A. hydei Aptroot, Caloplaca pulicarioides Aptroot and Placidiopsis poronioides Aptroot. The flora is rather poor in species; for example, no Caliciales have been found. In the past, the numbers of species of several groups such as the Graphidaceae, Heterodermia and Xanthoparmelia have been overestimated, whereas few pyrenocarps have been reported. The flora of wet granitic outcrops is surprisingly well developed in Hong Kong. Although not a single Peltula species was reported before, six species were identified, including one that was previously only known from Africa. In addition, several other cyanophilic genera are present, such as Euopsis, Psorotichia, Pyrenopsis and, most unexpectedly, Vestergrenopsis, each with one species. -

LC Paper No. CB(1)1238/11-12(04) For discussion on 12 March 2012 Legislative Council Panel on Information Technology and Broadcasting Progress Update on the Implementation of Digital Terrestrial Television Broadcasting Purpose This paper updates Members on the latest progress of implementation of the digital terrestrial television (DTT) service. DTT Network Coverage Construction of DTT transmitting stations 2. Since the commencement of DTT service at end-2007, the two domestic free television programme service licensees, namely Asia Television Limited (ATV) and Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB), have built and extended their digital broadcast network in a phased approach, with a view to expanding the DTT coverage progressively throughout the Hong Kong territory. 3. Following the launch of nine new DTT fill-in stations by end December 2011, a total of 29 digital broadcasting stations have been completed by ATV and TVB in accordance with the requirements stipulated in their respective fixed carrier licences. The DTT coverage has now reached more than 96% of the Hong Kong population. The 29 DTT transmitting stations and their respective coverage areas are set out in Annex A. Coverage of the DTT network 4. The percentage of DTT network coverage is derived by ATV and TVB via computer modelling. In doing so, a conservative approach is adopted to avoid over-estimation of the coverage population in areas with marginal DTT signal strength. For these areas, there are however residents who can still receive stable DTT signal. It is thus necessary to - 2 - conduct surveys1 to validate the effective DTT coverage in order to obtain a more accurate assessment of the network coverage. -

Historians may never cease arguing over why Canadian forces were sent to reinforce Hong Kong. In retrospect, with perfect 2 of 13 11/5/2011 12:34 PM Tony Banham - Battle of Hong Kong Background http://www.hkvca.ca/historical/banham.htm hindsight, it certainly seems a strange decision. It was one that Churchill himself initially opposed, and it now seems clear that however many men had been sent to defend Hong Kong, the Japanese would still have attacked with sufficient forces to take the Colony. In the first half of 1941, Hong Kong’s garrison was commanded by General Grasset. It consisted of three infantry battalions, the 2nd Battalion the Royal Scots, the 5/7th Rajputs and the 2/14th Punjabis, plus one machine gun battalion, the 1st Battalion the Middlesex Regiment. -
4. Ecological Impact
Consultancy Agreement No. NEX/2301 South Island Line (East) Environmental Impact Assessment 4. Ecological Impact 4.1 Background This Chapter addresses the potential ecological impacts arising from the construction and operation of the proposed South Island Line (East) and the associated magazine site and barging points. It presented the findings of the literature review and supplementary field surveys conducted from June 2008 to November 2009. The potential impacts to the ecological sensitive receivers within the Assessment Area were assessed and suitable mitigation measures were proposed to minimise the potential adverse impact in accordance with Annexes 8 and 16 of the Technical Memorandum on the Environmental Impact Assessment Process of the Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance. 4.2 Assessment Area The Assessment Area for ecological impact assessment covers an area of 500m radius along the proposed alignment of the South Island Line (East), associated work sites and areas for slope stabilisation work, magazine site and barging points ( Figure 4.1 ). The methodology and the transect routes for the ecological baseline assessment are presented in Appendix 4.1 and Figures A1-10 in Appendix 4. 4.3 Environmental Legislation, Standards and Guidelines A number of international conventions, local legislations and guidelines provide the framework for the protection of species and habitats of ecological importance. Those related to this Project are: Forests and Countryside Ordinance (Cap. 96), which prohibits felling, cutting, burning or destroying of trees and growing plants in forests and plantations on Government land. The subsidiary Forestry Regulations (Cap. 96 sub. leg.) prohibit the picking, felling or possession of listed rare and protected plant species. -
