Log book of meteorological observations at Gap Rock (a small island to the south of Hong Kong Island) in 1921. This is one of the earliest extant manuscripts of a meteorological observation log made by the Hong Kong Observatory. Information from Gap Rock was particularly useful in studying tropical cyclones that passed close to Hong Kong in the early days.
