The annual exhibit of chrysanthemums by one of the chief Mandarins', resident at Liu Chu, took place on Sunday last when, we hear, over one thousand plants were shewn. Although the present year has not been considered propitious. for the culture of this flower, the ones grown at the former place were considered unusually fine specimens. After the customary feast on this occasion had been done full justice to by the numerous guests invited, the flowers were illuminated by Chinese lanterns, in great variety, being interspersed, which considerably added to the picturesqueness of the scene.

Sir Robert Hart, Inspector General of the Imperial Maritime Customs of China, took steps over ten years ago to start a meteorological ser- vice for China, and it was his intention to co operate with other governments, and to exchange meteorological information. He purchased in London meteorological instruments of the con- struction approved in England, which are suffi cient to equip the necessary number of stations, and it is intended that all superfluous meteoro logical registers should be suppressed.get These instruments remain stored in the Custom houses at Shanghai and Amey. I in- spected those in Shanghai, and at the request of with the instructions contained in your letter 25.-I have had the honour, in accordance the Commissioner of Customs, Amoy, 1(3rd paragraph) of the 23rd August ultimo, to packed, adjusted and verified sixteen complete sets of instruments of good construction and in recommend to the authorities at the Treaty Ports that. tide-gauges resp. river-gauges, be erected good preservation, and these instruments are there and at some of the lighthouses, and that troops in Foochow had, we find, for its origin, six months, will be allowed a discount of 20 per

7.While staying in Amoy, I had the honour to inform the Commissioner of Customs that thermometer screens and stands for radiation thermometers were required. At his request several arch screens and stands were con structed there under my supervision. These ara now submitted to Sir, Robert Hart, and, if approved by him, similar ones will no doubt be made and sent to all the future stations.
-It is the intention of Sir Robert Hart, that the meteorological registers in China shall be kept according to a uniform system, uniformity being an essential condition for the success of so extensive a meteorological servies.

1.The observations should be made daily at to a.m., 4.p.m., and to p.m., in the Treaty Ports. One of the forms which I have ventured to submit is for entering such observations. In the-light-bouses observations are made either every three, or every four hours, according to the number of the staff stationed in the respective Highthouse. In case the observations are made every three hours it would be an advantage, though by no means necessary, to have them taken at i am, 4 am 7 am 10 am, I pm 4 p.m., 7 p.m. and za p.m. The other form submitted is for entering such observations. It will be seen that the registers that apply to the lighthouses are of a more simple form" then those for the harbours. I intend that, at the Hongkong Observatory corresponding observa tions shall be made at to amp and 10 pm, with instruments of English construction,
