Chinese XXVIIIth Year, VIIIth and IXth Moons.
In the month of September, the monsoon is entirely broken up, and north- erly winds begin to blow, but with very little alleviation of the heat. This is the period most exposed to the description of hurricanes called tyfoons, the range of which extends southwards over about one half of the Chinese sea. and northward to the coast of Japan. They have appeared with the greatest severity in the gulf of Tonquin.
