been obferved, that when Hurricanes have been in Mar' 
timcOy which is within Two Degrees of Latitude, and 
Two Degrees of Longitude, according to the Miles of 
that Circle , yet no Hurricane hath been in Barhadoes i 
Nor could I ever call any of the former Storms at 5^r- 
^^(j^^j Hurricanes, rill that laft Year in 1675-. igain 
it hath been noted, that Hurricanes have dons the 
like to the Northwards : 
For when the Hurricane hath been in Antegoa and 
St. ChriftopherSy thofe Ships Lhat were but io fhe Lati» 
tude of Twenty Degrees had no Hurricane, but conftant 
Weflerly Winds» reafonable fair, and then there were no 
Hurricanes in^^mi^^(?i laod when the Hurricanes were at 
Bermudoes, the Leeward or Carihee Ijlands had no Hur- 
ricane ; nor had thofe Iflands the Hurricane wh^;n Bar- 
hadees had it. 
Now it will be objeded. Why the Hurricane was ne- 
ver known to go farther to the Weft ward than Porto 
Rko, which lies in or near the Latitude of thofe Iflands 
of St. Chriflopher's ? 
To this I afifwer, That from Porto Rico, Downwards, 
both that Ifland as well as Hifpaniola^ and other Iflands 
there adjacent, are of vaft Greatnefs and very high 
Lands, that of themfelves doth moft commonly give 
Reverfai or Wefterly Winds at Night, through the Year | 
For there, for the Rcafbns aforefaid, the Eafterly Wind, 
towards Night doth calm, and thofe Lands afford a Laod- 
Wind, which the other Iflands cannot do, by reafon of 
the Smallnefsof thofe Carihee- Ijlands; but very near the 
Shoar, the Trade- Wind having his full Power till this 
general Whirl- Wind comes, for the Reafons aforefaid. 
I do imagine fo hkewife to the Southwards of Barha- 
does, where the Tornadoes come frequently, there is no 
Hurricanes ; neither was there at Barhadoes^ when thtfi 
Tornadoes did commonly come there, which made fome
