==London and China Telegraph==
''The London and China Telegraph''. Published in London. Covers [[China]], [[Hong Kong]], Japan, [[Straits Settlements]] ([[Singapore]], [[Penang]]), [[Indonesia|Batavia]] and perhaps a wider area. One weekly issue (13 Jan. 1860) included notices for two deaths in India, and one in Alexandria, perhaps an indication for the rest of the series. There are two series of digitisations, both on Google Books, one from the Bavarian State Library, the other from Cornell University, the latter labelled A. Links for both series are provided, in case the content or digitisation quality varies.
