In China, Indo-China, Japan, the Philippines, and Borneo, and daily weather forecasts for Hongkong to Gap Rock, the Formosa Channel, the south coast of China between Hongkong and Lam-mocks, and between Hongkong and Hainan, were issued as in former years. Copies of the map were exhibited on 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. Forty copies of the Daily Weather Report were distributed to various offices, etc., in the Colony, and a copy was sent daily to the Director of the Meteorological Observatory, Macao. Copies were sent every week to Lieutenant-Commander Pradiyat, Royal Siamese Navy.
A charge of $10 a year is made for supplying private firms and individuals with the Daily Weather Report, and $36 for the Weather Map. No map was published on July 14 and 15, August 4, 12, 13, and 14, and December 16, owing to the late arrival of the weather telegrams.
The weather forecast is telegraphed daily to the Cape d'Aguilar Wireless Station in time for distribution at 1 p.m.
Monthly Meteorological Bulletin.-The Monthly Meteorological Bulletin, which includes the Daily Weather Report, was published as usual, but distribution to the United Kingdom, Europe, and India was discontinued in October owing to the war.
Miscellaneous Returns.-A monthly abstract of observations made at the Observatory is published in the Government Gazette, and daily, monthly, and yearly results are published in the Blue Book in the form suggested by the London Meteorological Office for the British Colonies.
The monthly departure from normal of the barometric pressure at four China Coast Ports were communicated to the Commonwealth Meteorologist, Melbourne, in connection with long-range weather forecasts. Monthly meteorological returns are forwarded to Symons's Meteorological Magazine, and annual returns to the Stock Exchange Year Book and the Colonial Office List.
V.-WEATHER TELEGRAMS, FORECASTS, AND STORM WARNINGS.
Daily Weather Telegrams.-Owing to the war, and the disturbed state of China, the service of daily weather telegrams from the various reporting stations was erratic; particularly in the case of Central and Southern China, Indo-China, Japan, and Vladivostock.
Thanks to the Director of the Philippines Weather Bureau, who kindly made the necessary arrangements with the Philippines Naval Authorities, the 6 a.m. observations from Guam, in the Ladrone Islands, have been received regularly since May 16.
