The deflection of the isothermal lines caused by the currents of air and water in the North Atlantic is the mosi remarkable phenomenon of the kind on the whole surface of the globe. In many places the importance of the latitudes for the local climate seems to be completely neutralised, the mean temperature rising not from north to south, but from south to north. This is due to the southern waters bringing with them the tropical heat, and discharging it in the regions of Northern Europe. A climate conveyed northwards by the current thus overlaps
