Mr. FIGG has finished the investigation of the typhoons of 1890, and I have commenced those in 1891, but the investigation of the typhoons in 1893 has not yet been touched. These unfortunate arrears of work, by which we are handicapped in our storm- warnings, are due solely to the undermanning of the Observatory in 1889 and 1890.

The thanks of the Government are due to all those commanders of vessels who during the year 1894 have made meteorological observations regularly and forwarded them to the Observatory, and also to those who have given facilities for the copying of their meteorological logs on board. Mr. KIRKWOOD, of the I. M. C. C. Kaipan, is to be especially thanked for the very complete observations he made during last summer while this vessel was stationed on the south coast of Hainan. His observ- ations have been of great value for the determination of some of the typhoon tracks of last year,

Those to which* is prefixed have been communicated directly by their respective Captains, and the remainder have been copied on board the several vessels. The majority are steam-ships and the others are distinguished as follows:-b, barque; s, ship; sch., schooner; bqt., barquentine :--
