To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
According to my own view the winds of the arid coast regions of western North America cross the cool waters of the Californian current, and thus acquire their drying quality on striking a sea-border more highly heated than the winds them- selves. On the tropical west coast of South America the winds also become drying winds by passing over the cold waters of tin- Peruvian or Humboldt current, where mists are in consequence of frequent occurrence; and on striking the more highly heated land- sur...face at the sea-border the moving air does not part with any more moisture until an altitude of some thousands of feet above 492 A NATURALIST IN THE PACIFIC chap. The sea is reached, when the cloud-belt forms. On the moun- tains bordering the coast of the Antofagasta province, in January, the clouds gathered at an elevation of 4, 000 to 5, 000 feet. Perhaps the best way to contrast the east and west coasts of tropical South America in this respect would be to say that whilst the wind blows landward in both regions, the land is the condenser on the east side, and the sea, owing to the interposition of the cold Humboldt current, is the condenser on the west side.
