Ph.tr. 1?00. XXII. 725. 



The entrance of ships into the Bristol channel, instead of 

 the English, has been attributed to a current, but was sup- 

 posed to be rather owing to a mistake of the variation.

On the currents at the mouth of the Sliaighls. 

 Ph.tr. 1724. XXXIII. igi. 



The current runs 2 miles an hour where the breadth is 

 5 leagues ; 1 mile, where it is 18 leagues : but at the sides 

 there is a current outwards, especially on the south side. 

 In 1712, Mr. L'aigle sunk a Dutch ship, laden with brandy 

 and oil, in the middle between Taiiffa and Tangier ; a few 

 days afterwards the sunk ship rose 4 leagues to the west- 

 wards : the relater was at Gibraltar at the time, and saw the 

 brandy brought from Tangier, and conversed with the cap- 

 tain and other eye witnesses. The straights aie unfathom- 

 able.

*Blagden on the heat of the water in the 

 gulf stream. Ph. tr. 1781. S34. 



The stream is about 20 leagues broad, and warmer thaa 

 the neighbouring water. Its heat at its commencement in. 

 the gulf of Florida is about 82°, and it loses 2° for every 3° 

 of latitude in going northwards : it continues sensible ofF 

 Nantucket.
