These stones appear to have been made by cutting square lot-marker stones into slices. If you zoom in you can see part of the letters and numbers still showing on the edge of the stone.

The more ornate stone that Shyama is pointing to is John Ross's gravestone.

In Section 38 of the Hong Kong Cemetery. Grave #4482.

As far as I can make out the inscription, it reads:

Died 17th August 1880
Rest in Peace
