(Translated from the Bulletin Mensuel.)
In a former article we have seen that the summer monsoon does not become thoroughly established on the China coast until the month of June. We have also remarked that, even at that period, both in the Formosa Channel and to the' south of it, the monsoon has not the regularity of that of the winter. We will now proceed to ascertain at what period this second monsoon becomes established.
'Tables showing the frequency of the various along' the coast, will be sufficient for the October 108 purpose. These tables are the result of November 74 five years' observations at stations of the Imperial Maritime Customs, and, as in the preceding article, the figures are arranged sontenber 18 on the basis of 1,000 observations.
We will begin with the figures at Sicawei October a for the three months September-November, November 21
