Northwards o( the Line, and alovigthe Coaft of Cam.oia \ 
and Ch 'ma^ th^ Mo^foom blow Nort,^ mdSo/ah, that is to 
fay, the N. E. Winds are much Northerly, and the S. W. 
much ^oiitheHy: This Confticution reaches to ihe £;t/- 
mrds of the Pmlippme-lihs, and as far Northerly di'^ J pxn. 
The Northern Monfoon fetting in, in thcte S^as, in Ocloher 
or November , and the Southern in Mt^ , biovvin^ all the 
Summer Months : Here it is to be noted, Tiiat tue Points 
of the Compafs, from whence the Wmd comes in thefe 
Parts of the World, are not fj fixt as in thofe lately de- 
icribed ; for the Southerly will frequently pals a Point or 
two to the Eafimrds of the Soi^thy an J the Nort jerly 
much to the Weftwards of the North, whic* '^^ems occa- 
fioned by the great quantity of Land which is u-.^rfperlcd 
in thele Seas.

of the Equator^ being that Ti act ly ing between vSW^.t^r/f 
and Java to the JVefi, and Neiv Guiriea to tlie Eafl^ the 
lame Northerly and Southerly Mor^foons are obferv'ed, but 
with this ditference, that the inclination of the Norther- 
ly is towards the N. W. and of tlie Southerly towards the 
S. E. but the flaga venti are not more conftant here than 
in the former, viz, variable 5 or 6 Points ; Befidesthe 
times of the Change of thefe Winds, are not the fame as 
in the Chmefe Seas, but about a Month orfix V/eeks 
later. 
7. That thefe contrary Winds do not Oiift all at once, 
but in fbme places the time of the change is attended 
with Calms, in others with variable Wuids ; and it is 
particularly remarkable, that the End of the IVeJlerly 
Monfoon on the Coaft of Corormndel^ and the two laft 
Months of tilt Southerly M^^^foor/ in the S ^as of C^/>^, are 
very fubjeQ: to be tempefruoas : The violence of thefe 
ftorms is fuch, that they feem to be of the nature of the
