June 26 and August 21 and in the coastal region between the parallels lat. 10-14° S- There are no records in the exact neighbourhood for 19 days from July 17 to August 4, and it may be that records made in harbour bear little relation to winds out to sea. The means of all these wind records, however, fit the temperature changes, although perhaps not quite so well as might have been expected from the results obtained off Antofagasta and the Guaiiape Islands.

An alternative interpretation is discussed on pp. 209 10. The line of stations repeated off Callao on August 20-21 differed little in general plan from that of July 1-3, although the water was generally cooler. The water of 18° and 19° C. had disappeared or cooled down (Fig. 52), but the warm-water wedge was still to be identified as a trough of water of about 17° C, and the temperature of the open ocean at 155 miles from shore was also 17° C.
