Sub-Enclosures to Enclosure in No. 3. Lord Enfield to the Undee Seceetaey of State, Colonial Office. Sic, — Foreign Office, 18th January, 1873. I am directed by Earl Granville to request that you will inform the Earl of Kimberley that the German Ambassador states that his Government has decided to assign definite official districts to the German Consuls in the British Colonies and foreign possessions. The annexed list shows the extensions and new delimitations proposed to be made in the consular districts situated in the colonies. It will be seen that the alterations from the existing arrangements will be considerable, and Lord Granville would be glad to be favoured with the Earl of Kimberley's opinion as to whether it would be desirable, under the circumstances, to issue fresh exequaturs to the Consuls affected by the changes. I am to observe that the German Government is quite ready to issue fresh commissions, if fresh exequaturs should be required. I am, &c, The Under Secretary of State, Colonial Office. Enfield.

LIST of those Imperial German Consulates in the British Colonies, the Limits of which have been newly defined.
