Extra Weather Telegrams.-The following stations send extra weather telegrams at half-rates during typhoons, on receipt of certain code words from Hongkong :- Amoy, Canton, Macao, Phulien, Sharp Peak, and Taihoku. The Director of the Philippines Weather Bureau also sends extra telegrams, at his discretion, from Aparri or some other station nearer the typhoon centre.
The extra 9 p.m. telegram usually received from Swatow during the typhoon season, was frequently lacking, owing probably to the disturbed condition of the country.
