largest recorded being 128.36 and smallest 53.82 inches.
The very great variation from year to year is somewhat
enhanced by the year being made to finish at a date fixed
to correspond but which does not always correspond with
the end of the dry season instead of in the middle of that
season.

On the lat. May, 1889, there were
two impounding reservoirs one at Pokfulam with a capacity
of 66,000,000 gallons which was completed in 1871, and had
a direct drainage area of 416 acres and the other at
Tytam with a capacity of 312,330,000 gallons, which was
completed in 1889, and had a direct drainage area of 690
acres,
the two together having thus a capacity of
378,330,000 gallons and direct drainage area of 1,106
acres.
From the column of remarks attach-
-ed to the abstraet it will be seen that the reservoir
capacity for the City Waterworks has been increased during
the period under review by 159,365,000 gallons or 42 per
centum to 537,695,000 gallons and the catchment area by
2,096 acres or 189 per centum to 3,202 acres or 5 Square
Miles.
