Abstract: The British colonial services include the government appointments in the tropical African colonies, British Malaya, Hong Kong, Ceylon, the islands in the Western Pacific, and occasional vacancies in Cyprus and Palestine. The services fall into two groups, the Administrative and the Specialized or Technical Services such as police, education, medical, engineering, agriculture, forestry, and irrigation. The Administrative Service includes virtually all appointments concerned with the formation or supervision of policy from the probationer at about $2,000 to the colonial secretary whose salary varies between $7,000 and $13,650 according to the importance of the colony.
