11. The differences between each single month's mean values of the meteorological elements and the mean-monthly values taken from the 5-yearly report, printed as Appendix A, were taken and the following probable deviations determined by aid of the well-known formula :—
Barometer ± 0·022 ins, Barometric tide + 0004 ins, Temperature + 090, Humidity + 3 p.c.. Vapour Tension + 0028 ins, Sun-shine 64 p.c., Rainfall + 276 ins, or in percentage of the respective fall 0·43, Wind velocity + 124 miles, Wind-direction + 9°, Cloud-amount 64 p.c. These figures furnish also a description of the amount of sameness of the weather in different years in Hongkong for comparison with other places, the figures relating to which might be calculated in the
same manner,
