. 8. The lines of equal dip are arranged in approximate paral- 
Tels, around the two (principal) magnetic poles. 
9. In consequence of this parallelism, they are convex toward 
- the north in the Pacific Ocean, and toward the south in the 
a Atlantic Ocean. 
 . 10. The magnetic parallels also approximate to the isothermal 
: parallels, both in direction and in position, but with some im- 
portant departures. 
. In South America, the magnetic equator is depressed 
nearly 30° south of the isothermal equator ; it is, however, nearly 
equi-distant from the (principal) north and south magnetic poles. 
12. The magnetic parallels near the magnetic poles are more 
convex than the isothermal lines, but they present some inter- 
esting instances of parallelism to the ocean currents, which are 
indisputably gravitation currents. : 
13. This parallelism is specially observable in the regions of 
the equatorial currents, the Gulf Stream, and the North Pacific 
and Japan currents. .
