in 130 miles of Hongkong on the morning of the 21st, when it curved to Northward. From the information to hand it was thought that this typhoon had entered the coast near Amoy and filled up on the afternoon of September 20.
These two typhoons emphasize the fact that until weather reports can be obtained promptly from such stations as Pratas, Chelang Point, Swatow, Kwong Chau Wan, and the south point of Hainan, a repetition of the 1906 typhoon disaster may confidently be expected, sooner or later.
IV.-WEATHER FORECASTS AND STORM WARNINGS.
Daily Weather Report and Map.-A weather map of the Far East and the Daily Weather Report, containing meteorological observations, usually at 6 a.m. and 2 p.m., from about 40 stations in China, Indo-China, Japan, and the Philippines, and a daily weather forecast for Hongkong and district, the Formosa Channel, the south coast of China between Hongkong and Hainan, and the south coast of China between Hongkong and Lamocks, were issued as in former years. Copies of the map were exhibited on the notice boards at the Hongkong Ferry Pier, the Blake Pier, and the Harbour Office. One copy was sent daily to the Director of the Meteorological Observatory, Macao. The maps were reproduced from the original by the Roneo Litho duplicator from November 5. Prior to this date they were traced. Forty copies of the Daily Weather Report were distributed to various offices, &c., in the Colony, and a copy was sent daily to the Director of the Meteorological Observatory, Macao. Copies were sent every week to the Hydrographic Office, Tokio, and to Lieut. Commander Pradyat, Royal Siamese Navy; and every 10 days to the Director, Central Meteorological Observatory, Phulien. An exchange of daily weather maps and reports was made with the Royal Maritime Observatory, Trieste, until the outbreak of war.
The Monthly Meteorological Bulletin, which includes the Daily Weather Report, was distributed to the principal observatories and scientific institutions of the world.
Beginning with 1914 January 1, a charge of $10 a year has been made for supplying firms and private individuals with the Daily Weather Report. This has had the desired effect of reducing the distribution list and so accelerating delivery.
Daily Weather Telegrams.-Daily Weather Telegrams from East Coast Ports, Indo-China, the Philippines, and the Japanese Empire have been received with commendable regularity throughout the year. The service from Wladivostock was interrupted from August 5 to October 25:
