DECEMBER, 1848,-XXXI Days.
Chinese XXVIIIth Year, XIth and XIIth Moons
The months of December and January are remarkably free from rain, the average fall in each month being under one inch, and the average number of rainy days being only three and a half. On the whole, the climate of Canton (and more especially that of Macao) may be cɔnsidered very superior to that of most other places situated between the tropics.
