The table serves for typhoons, depressions and anticyclones: also for the doubtful case typhoon or depression.
The figures in the last two columns will not be displayed on the storm signal masts. They are for the "general inference" following a synoptic message. The display of the figures in column 3 is optional.
(a) The word "typhoon" has been retained as it is in general use throughout the Far East. The word "cyclone" is in this case preferable.
