Ocean-Currents not due alone to the Trade-winds.—An Objection

System of Currents agrees with the System of the
Winds.—Chart showing the Agreement between the System
of Currents and System of Winds.—Cause of the Gibraltar
Current.—North Atlantic an immense Whirlpool.—Theory of Under
Currents.—Difficulty regarding Under Currents obviated.—Work
performed by the Wind in impelling the Water forward.—The
_Challenger’s_ crucial Test of the Wind and Gravitation
Theories.—North Atlantic above the Level of Equator.—Thermal
Condition of the Southern Ocean irreconcilable with the
Gravitation Theory 210
