Remarks on the above Tabular View.

The two Churches at Amoy, and the one at Chioh-be are under the care of the Missionaries of the Reformed Dutch Church. * * * * * *

The Churches at Peh-chui-ia and Ma-peng, are under the care of the Missionaries of the English Presbyterian Church. * * * * * *

The Congregation at An-hai is under the care of the English Presbyterian Missionaries.  It has not yet been organized into a Church.  It is so far removed from Amoy that it cannot conveniently be placed under the supervision of either of the Consistories. * * * * * *

Khang-khau is a station under the care of the English Presbyterian Mission. * * * * * *

Kang-thau is under the care of the Reformed Dutch Mission.

E-mng-kang is a suburb of Amoy.  The Congregation worshiping there belongs, mostly, to the First Church at Amoy.  The Station is under the care of the English Presbyterian Mission. * * * * * *

Chiang-chiu is a large city, some twelve miles or more beyond Chioh-be, and about thirty-five miles from Amoy.  In times past, several efforts have been made to establish a Station at Chiang-chiu, but always without success, until during the past year.  At the close of the year there had not yet been any baptisms at that Station.  Since the beginning of this year, there have been several.  The Church members are reckoned to the Church at Chioh-be, and are under the oversight of the Chioh-be Consistory.  Both Missions work as one at Chiang-chiu.  Each Mission is to furnish half the expense.  To simplify the work, it was thought best that one Mission be responsible for the control of the Station, and direct the work.  At present this is the Mission of the Reformed Dutch Church.  If the work be prospered, it is proposed to form two Stations, one under the care of each Mission.
