GREAT CURRENTS OF THE OCEAN.

movements constitute the great currents of the tropical 

 seas, which are the great currents of the ocean. And this 

 cause it is contended is the Wind, — which, itself produced by 

 condensing vapour heating the atmosphere in particular 

 localities, blows towards those localities, taking the water 

 of the ocean with it, uninfluenced to any appreciable and 

 palpable extent, by the rotatory motion of the surface of the 

 globe, — thus shewing that Wind is the real cause of the great 

 oceanic currents.
