 (With a map.) 



O'iME of the phenomena of tropical regions have been 

 explained in the foregoing parts of this efsay, but 

 Others of a very interesting nature remain to be ac- 

 counted for. 



In no respect do tropical regions differ more from 

 those that approach nearer to the pole, than in what 

 regards winds, those powerful currents of air, so be- 

 neficial, so hurtful, so refrefliing, so noxious, so pleasing, 

 so destructive to man in different circumstances. Iri 

 tropical regions, the course of the winds are, in general, 

 regular and certain, whereas, in high latitudes, they 

 are so variable and uncertain, that no dependance can 

 be liad upon their continuance for any stated time, in 

 any determined point of the compafs, nor can any 

 judgment be formed of ' the degree of violence with 

 which they will blow at any given period.
