I am indebted to the Principal Civil Medical Officer of Singapore 

 for the following statement showing the average monthly Rainfall, 

 Temperature, and Humidity at Singapore, Penang, and Malacca : — 



Java. 



The climate in Java varies like that in Ceylon according to the 

 locality, but we have definite information regarding the climatic 

 factors at Buitenzorg and East Java. 



The climate at Buitenzorg differs from that at Peradeniya, Ceylon, 

 in many ways. At Buitenzorg the rain during 1901 to ] 904. inclusive, 

 fell on an average of 263 days in each year. The humidity of the 

 air in 1904 ranged from 75 in August to 85 in December, and the 

 average for the years 1901 to 1904, inclusive, was 79. The average 

 monthly temperature ranged in 1904 from 23*6 to 25-3°C. The 

 climate in Buitenzorg is more equal than that at Peradeniya, but 

 a definite periodicity does exist, the rainfall and humidity through- 

 out the year approximating to those at Badulla in the Uva Province 

 of Ceylon. 



In East Java the climate is more exacting and a comparison of the 

 two places is given below. 



I am indebted to Dr. Treub for the information in the following 

 synopsis of the monthly rainfall, humidity, and temperature at 

 Pasoercean in East Java and Buitenzonr.
