The following notices have been issued by Mr. FIGG during the month :-
On the 2nd at 10.30 a. Red drum hoisted. "A typhoon appears to be situated near the Balingtang Channel." At 11.10 a. Forecast:-" strong N winds, perhaps a gale: cloudy and squally. Strong winds and gales from N and NE probable generally along the China Coast between Shanghai and Hainan."
On the 3rd at 10.30 a. Red drum lowered. At 11.5 a. Forecast:- barometer rising: strong N breezes: cloudy and squally.'
""
On the 4th at 11.10 a. Forecast:-"barometer rising: strong to fresh N breezes, squally: fair. Heavy monsoon in the China Sea."
On the 1st November pressure was slightly above the normal at Shanghai, 30.19, and in defect to the extent of between 0.1 and 0.15 inch at Hongkong, 29.91, and at Manila, 29.76. Pressure had not recovered at the two latter stations in rear of the late typhoon which still existed on this day to the S of Hainan. At Manila the barometer fell somewhat during the afternoon a moderate WSW breeze prevailing, while at Bolinao a light breeze blew from NW. Fresh breezes from NE and E were blowing on the China Coast between Hongkong and Amoy. These observations afford some indications of the existence of a new disturbance which appears to have been situated to the E of N Luzon,
