Black South Cone 5 times, the Black Ball 1 time, Two Lanterns vertically 3 times, and horizontally 1 time. The Gun was fired one round once in 1895. Printed expresses were circulated twice.

7. During 1895, in addition to meteorological registers kept at about 30 stations on shore, 1,977 ship-logs have been received, 1,708 were forwarded by Captains, and 269 were copied on board ship in the harbour. The ship-logs collected in 1895 were thus distributed :-for 1893, 1 log; for 1894, 59 logs; for 1895, 1,917 logs. The total number of ships, whose log-books have been made use of, was 296.

The total number of days' observations was 16,835. These data are collected, reduced, tabulated and made available for the study of typhoons and other meteorological features by Miss DOBERCK.

8. The entry of observations made at sea in degree squares for the area between 9° south and 45° north latitude, and between the longitude of Singapore and 180° East of Greenwich for the construction of trustworthy pilot charts has been continued, and 94,322 observations in all have now been entered.

9. As stated in the "Instructions for making Meteorological Observations etc.," meteorological instruments forwarded by observers who regularly send their registers to the Observatory are verified here free of cost. During the past year 4 barometers, 2 aneroids and 76 thermometers were verified. In addition several hundred barometers and aneroids on board ship were compared with our standard.
