Note. — The ancient names are here, after Ricciolus, adapted 

 to the modern ones ; not that the winds formerly denoted 

 by ihofe were precifely the fame with thefe, (for the ancient 

 number and divifion being different from the modern, the 

 points they refer to will neceflarily be fomewhat different,) 

 but thefe are what come the neareft. Thus, Vitruvius, only 

 reckoning twenty-four winds, difpofes the points they refer 

 to in a different order ; as in the following Table.
