The motion of the waters of the ocean from east to west was long ago verified by observation, and it is certain that the tides are the most effectual of the causes to which this great westerly current is to ...be referred. Besides the tidal wave, the lower air-currents moving in the same direction, the trade-winds of the tropics especially, may be assigned as causes of this general movement of the waters. The westerly direction of the latter, however, is not confined to the region of easterly winds ; it is met with in the region of perpetual calms, where it possesses a velocity of several miles a day ; it is observed far away from the tropics both north and south, in regions where westerly winds pre- 296 CELESTIAL DYNAMICS.
