Abstract
THE law of storms in Hong Kong was investigated by aid of the lithographed paths of the typhoons in 1884 and 1885, published in “Observations and Researches made in 1886” and in those of 1886 and 1887 now in course of publication. Only those within 300 miles of the Observatory were considered in this connection. The angles between the wind and the radius vector, i.e. the line joining the Observatory with the centre of the typhoon, were measured and mean values derived, and the same was done for Victoria Peak (1816 feet above the sea) and for the lower clouds.
