FEBRUARY, 28 Days.
Chinese Ist Year, Ist Moon.
During the month the thermometer continues low; but the dry bracing cold of the three preceding months is changed for a damp and chilly atmos- phere; the number of fine fair days is much diminished, and cloudy and foggy ones are more frequent in February and March than in any other months. The fog is sometimes so dense as to render objects invisible at a few yards' distance. The prevailing winds are from the northeast and east, and are rather trying to foreigners from the quantity of moisture with which they are charged; the thermometer does not give a just index of their chilliness.
