JANUARY, 31 Days.
Chinese XXVIII-XXIXth Year, XIIth and Ist Moons.
The weather, during this month, is dry, cold, and bracing-differing but little, if at all, from that of November and December. The wind blows ge- nerally from the north, occasionally inclining to the NE. or NW. A change to the south-which may be expected at intervals of 10 or 15 days, during the winter-causes considerable variation in the temperature of the atmos- phere.
