possibility^ which the further examination on which I now enter may prove either to be probable^ or to be inconsistent with observed fact. It is in this restricted sense alone that I have here enunciated it^ and that I shall allude to it throughout this chapter. A westerly wind in the North Atlantic, when it ap-i preaches the shores of the old continent^ the general lay of which — irrespective of comparatively small irregularities — is from north to south, meets with a barrier at right angles, ...or nearly at right angles, to its course. This barrier is not only the coast line ; the land frequently hilly, often mountainous; it is also the air which rests on the land, air which is always of a nature very different from that which rests on the sea. Is it necessary to prove this difference ? It is a difference of temperature, of humidity, of salts held in subtle solution '; a difference of smell, and of taste, familiar even to those whose acquaintance with the sea has been limited to occasional visits to the shore in a summer holiday.
