ACCORDING to the Extract of Meteorological Observations made at the Observatory during the month of February, the mean temperature was 54.8", the maximum being 66.2" on the

The total sunshine re- corded amounted to 95.6 hours, the sun being totally obscured on ten days, while the greatest amount of sunshine registered on any one day was 10.4 hours on the 5th.

It is seldom that more than a dozen seagulls or terns are seen together in Hongkong; these bids apparently only coming into the harbour in very cold or heavy weather.

The lock must have numbered some three or four having seen so many together in the neigh hundred birds and we do not remember ever bourhood of the Colony.

As H.E, the Governor said, in asking the opinion of the Sanitary Board on the subject, doing with all privacy of the residents. It seems away with partitions would naturally do away

It is satisfactory to note that Mr. Ormsby did not agree with his assist ant's view of this valuable information. The general opinion of the Sanitary Board seemed to be the very sensible-one that partitions afforded the means of sitting in the vendab ensured a certain degree of privacy, that they without being disturbed in the evening, and that much could be said in favour and little against them. The only dissentient seems to have been Dr Bell. He didn't care what the custom was, he was "agin" it. He had his opinions and he'd tell the Government. How erer, an amendment was proposed and carried that the Government be asked not to move in the matter, at all. Plague is on the increase now, and it may be hoped that the Sanitary Board will turn their attention to preventive measures, instead of frittering away their time in what is admittedly a trivial matter, even by those who bring it forward. Nothing is to be expected in the shape of help and advice to his fellow-servants in the Board, when the Vice- President says, practically, that he does'nt know what the custom in the matter sub judice may be, whether it is right or wrong, or expedient or otherwise, he is against it, and will hold thai,
