Abstract
MAURY, in his “Physical Geography of the Sea,” maintains that the surface trade wind of the northern hemisphere becomes the upper counter current of the south, and vice versà. That the trade winds, in fact, cross each other so—
instead of meeting and turning lack over themselves so—Subsequent writers on physical geography have repeated this statement without apparently reflecting on its extreme improbability.
