The following notices have been issued by Mr. FIGG during the month:-
On the 11th at 11.0 a.
"}
On the 10th at 10.50 a. "There are some indications of the existence of a depression to the SW of Luzon." Forecast:-"barometer falling: fresh or strong NE breezes: fair to showery."
"The low pressure area appears to be situated in the neighbourhood of the Paracels." Forecast:-"barometer falling: fresh or strong NE to E breezes: unsettled, showery.
On the 12th at 10.20 a. The depression appears to be now situated in the S part of the Gulf of Tongking and to be moving towards NW." At 11.10 a. Forecast:-"barometer unsteady: strong or fresh E to SE breezes: showery and squally.'
On the 12th at 4.15 p. "The centre of the depression is approaching the neighbourhood of Haiphong." On the 13th at 10.43 a. The depression, moving northward, entered the coast near Haiphong during the night." At 1.20 a. Forecast :--"barometer falling: fresh SE winds: squally and showery."
The depression indicated above was probably formed to the NW of Palawan between the Sth and 9th of June. This is not clearly established as information is wanting from that part of the China Sea. Calms and light variable breezes had prevailed across the China Sea between the parallels of 10° and 20° on the two or three days previous to the 8th. On this day, however, owing to a considerable increase of pressure over China, NE and E winds, moderate or light in force, became general over the Northern and Western part of the above area. Pressure in Luzon was slightly in defect, while at Hongkong it was about 0.1 inch, and at Shanghai about 0 2 inch, above the normal,
