' In computing these deflecting forces, the mean annual direction of the wind in the same latitude in mid ocean was 

 taken as the standard of comparison, on account of the influence of the Great Desert, which aff'ects the annual results 

 all along the African coast in these latitudes, as may be readily seen by inspecting the length and position of the arrows 

 on Plate XIII. 



' These results are obtained from observations taken at five different islands for a joint period of 205 days, and on 

 board ships in the vicinity for 376 days. 



' These results are obtained from observations tfiken at Gibraltar for 76 days, and on board ships in the vicinity of 

 the straits for 510 days.
