The tide table given below has been obtained by aid of the Tide-presfiet- ing Machine, which includes 40 com- ponents for the better prediction of ides, from the result of the analysis of the tidal observations, taken at the Kowloon tidal observatory under the direction of Dr. Dobusck during the years 1887, 1888 and 1989,
The times and heights are given for Kowloon; but they may be used for the Victoria Naval Yard and Aberdeen, the differences being very smali.
