13. Passing south of the zone we have last been considering, we find that, con. 

 tiguous to it, the winds in the United States and upon the Atlantic Ocean, are, on 

 the whole, easterly, yet quite irregular, and having a very small progressive motion. 

 This is seen by the shortness of the arrows in Louisiana, Texas, Florida, and the 

 southern parts of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi (Plate VIII.), 

 and also at Nos. 27, 29, 30, and 31 on Plate VII. Nos. 25 and 236 are exceptions, 

 and will be spoken of below. 



14. Farther south, we fixll in with the well known north-easterly trade-winds, all 

 characterized by long aiTows, showing a decided prevalence, yet more so between 

 latitude 10° and 25° than nearer the equator.
