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. +-------------------------------------------------------+ | Course. | July. | August. | Course. | July. | August. | |-------------------------------------------------------| | North. | 17 | 55 | S.

E. trades, with less variable winds than are found in almost any other part of the ocean. +-------------------------------------------------------+ | Course. | July. | August. | Course. |
