After this variable Weather , for about , 

 four or fix Weeks, there will be fettled con- 

 tinued Rains of feveral Days and Nights, 

 without Thunder and Lightning, but ex- 

 ceeding vehement, c6nfidering the length 

 of them^ Yet at certain Intervals between 

 thefe; even in the wetteft of the Seafon, 

 there will be feveral fair Days intermixed, 

 with only Tornado's or Thunder-Showers 3 

 and that fometimes for a Week together. 

 Thefe Thunder-Showers caufe ufually a fen- 

 fible Wind, by the Clouds preffing the At- 

 mofphere, which is very tefrefhing, and 

 moderates the Heat : But then this Wind 

 Shaking the Trees of this continued Foreft, 

 their dropping is as troubiefome as the Rairi 

 it felf. When the Shower is over, you 

 ihall hear a great way together the Croaking 

 of Frogs and Toads, the humming of Mos- 

 kitos or Gnats, and the hiding or fhriek- 

 ings of Snakes and other Infe&s, loud and 

 ■unpleafarit • fome like the quacking of Ducks.

 or Mangrove Lands, near the Rivers or Seas: 

 But however, this Country is not fo pefter'd 

 with that uneafie Vermin, as many other of 

 the warm Countries are- When the Rains

 or ratling found : But the Floods caus'd by 

 them often bear down the Trees 5 as I o&j
