Abstract
IT is singular that diversity of opinion should still exist as to whether ocean currents are due to the impulse of the winds, or to difference of specific gravity. That ocean currents are not caused by difference of specific gravity between the waters of equatorial and polar regions can be proved, as the amount of force from this cause acting on the ocean to produce a current, can be readily calculated.
