56 .Dr. do-bson*s Account of the Lllrmattan, 
Three lines, drawn according to the direction of Mr. 'norris, 
towards the points of the compafs from which the Harmattan 
blows on Cape Verd, the Cold Coaff, and Cape Lopez, con- 
verge I find to a part of Africa about the 15th degree of N. 
latitude, and the 25th degree of E. longitude, which 1 alfo 
find to be that part of Africa where, according to ptglemy, 
the mountains of Caphas are fituated. From thefe mountains, 
according to the fame authority, the river Daradus arofe, fup- 
pofed by fome to be now the river Senegal. 
It may be conjectured, that the difagreeable Levant wind of 
the Mediterranean proceeds from the fame part of the Conti- 
nent of Africa ; for it prevails during the fame feafon of the 
year, and may derive its qualities from the furface over which 
it pafies. 
The laft article of information with which I have been 
favoured by Mr. norris, is an account of the manner in which 
the Fan tee nation divide their year.

February, about 10 weeks.
