Ascending to the region of 10 deg. to 15 deg. north latitude, and 15 deg. to 45 deg. west
longitude, we find the winds exceedingly variable, and the monsoons
diminished remarkably. If Professor Coffin's theory was correct, they
should increase as they approach the desert; but they in fact, diminish,
and the N. E. trades are found at the north portion.

Ascending to the region between 15 deg. and 20 deg. north latitude, and 15 deg. to 45 deg.
west longitude, we get north of the belt of rains _and lose the monsoons
entirely although still below the desert_; and find the regular N. E.
trades, with less variable winds than are found in almost any other part
of the ocean.
