Asia; 3. Africa; 4. America; 5. Australasia and Oceania. The Colonies proper form three classes: (1) The Crown Colonies, which are entirely controlled by the home government; (2) those possessing Representative Institutions, in which the Crown has no more than a veto on legislation, but the home government retains the control of public officers; and (3) those possessing Responsible Government, in which the home government has no control over any public officer, though the Crown appoints the Governor and still retains a veto on legislation. The total expenditure of the Mother Country in connection with the Colonies (exclusive of India) amounts to about 2 millions sterling annually, mainly for military and naval purposes. According to the Army Estimates for the year 1890-91, the total effective strength of the British forces in the colonies, exclusive of India, was 31,680 men, rank and file.
