THE proposal to form a local meteorola- gical Society, which has recently been the subjent of a good deal of discussion exong nautical men and others interest- ed in the science of meteorology, is one which deserves the fallest approval and support of the community. The proposal is, in some measure, no doubt, the outcome of the feeling that the colony is somewhat badly off as regards eterological information and weather forecasts. For the supply of such inform ation and prognostications in anything like reasonable or adequate measure the colony, for rather more than a decade, has been looking vainly to the institu Men known as the Hongkong Observa
tory. It has for a long time beca clear, however, that, so far as any practical benefit to the important shipp ing interests of the colony is concerned, Goods per Gerda delivered after this the Observatory is almost a completé

The late Major-General Pal- mer's notions as to the particular kind of work for which the Observatory would be useful may have been perfect- ly connd, from a scientific point of view, but it is evident that the collection of such meteurological data, and the publication ofench deductions therefrom, as would be for the advantage of the colory, occupied quite a subordinate place in the general scheme, Dr Doborck, the Director of the Observa-

It may at once be admitted tuxta mistake was made in sana.loning the establishment of an Observatory on the lines proposed by Major-General Palmer, but that is no reason why the colony should continua to spend annually a large sum of money tor the maintenance of an institution from which it derives hardly any bene fit. The chance of any improvement. in the supply of meteorologicat in. formation and weather forecasts from the Observatory is very elights a long By Dr Doberck is Director, no expecta- tion of improvement cau be hopefully entertained.
