<abstract>A chronology of typhoons and storms in the Western North Pacific is presented, which includes data about 863 typhoons, storms and depressions over the western Pacific area  between 1901 and 1934. The chronology provides informattion covering a wide area, from Guam to the Gulf of Tonkin and from the Equator to Japan. The resulting typhoon series has been included  in a database, which is freely accessible, and annual typhoon ocurrence and trajectories are also shown. A comparison of the typhoon passage frequency over the Philippine area with a previously available chronology was made to assure the validity of Selgas's observations, the author of the previous work, showing good agreement</abstract>
