And must not this water, in seeking a general

exterior oceans, and hence account for the 
freshness of our northern seas, and for the cir¬

towards the south ? 
31 represents the mouth of Cook’s river- 
this is probably a very large river heading in 
the inner tropical regions; from the heads of 
which there may be a navigable communica¬ 
tion with the sources of other great rivers dis¬ 
charging their waters into Hudson’s or Baffin’s 
Bay, or into the sea beyond Spitsbergen ; and 
there is some probability that the heads of all 
the large rivers of the north concave hemis¬ 
phere offer a navigable communication, at 
times with the seas of the south concave 
hemisphere. 32,32, 32,32, 32, the Fox islands, 
these islands are probably not so cold as the 
rest of the real verge, owing to their being on 
its low side. 33 Bhering’s strait,—34 Kam.

the supposed direction of the magnetic needle and 
course of migrating animals and birds,under the high 
shoulder of the verge,—46, 46, 46, the direction of 
the currents from the northern seas,is shown by these 
three darts; down some of these currents, racent 
tropical seeds and large green trees are found floating, 
apart of which are known to grow only in tropical 
climates;—47, the Black Sea,—48, 48, Chinese Tar¬
