The Anahuac plateau may be described as a temperate region upheaved above the tropical zone. It corresponds to the temperate and cold regions of Abyssinia, which also dominate "hot lands," such as Massawah and the Danakil territory. But however favoured the Abyssinian plateau may be in its climate, it is vastly inferior to Mexico in the advantages of position and means of access. In its latitude, Mexico lies well within the zone of the trade winds, which blow regularlv from north-east to south-west, or from east to west, on the shores
