Abstract
THE Typhoon in China of the 2nd September last, detailed accounts of which reached England by the last mail, and which included in its area of most active violence the island and vicinity of Hong Kong, affords to those interested in such natural phenomena an opportunity of observing their varied characteristics, that may possibly never occur again. The great centre of its efforts having been in a situation where elaborate observations could be taken regarding it both at sea and land, a vast amount of information has been collected on the subject, which throws more light upon these singular “freaks of nature” than has ever before been arrived at.
