As regards its aerial currents, the Azorian Atlantic partakes of two differentzones, in the north coming within the European zone of westerly winds, in thesouth within that of the trade winds, that is, the oceanic zone properly so African waters are fui-ther distinguished by a special atmospheric system, theneighbourhood of the mainland reversing the normal disposition in the develop-ment of the local daily breezes and the periodical monsoons. The Azores lie nearlyon the limit between the trade-winds and the opposing currents, which descendingfrom the upper regions, take a normal south-westerly or westerly direction. Thewinds which set towards the coasts of Iberia, France, and the British Isles havetheir origin in this central part of the oceanic basin. M. Braults exhaustive studieson the direction
