Between 3» or 4 degrees Nothern Latitude the Seuth-Eafl- 
Wind begins to take place between the it/£quatorttiiihtTr8^ 
fickoi Capriecme. But the nearer you are to the co3 ft of j/ri- 
ca it is To much more Southerly 5 and as you approach to the 
coaft of Brafile 5 it inclines more and more Eafierly. And there

credibly inform'd ) is moftly South 1 and inclines as much to the
