Guiana, Venezuela, and the other countries of the north and north-eastern coasts, are no doubt steamy and unhealthy, but the greater part of Brazil seems to possess a climate by no means prohibitive of European energy, though doubtless the deltas of the great rivers, like similar situations elsewhere, are best avoided from the point of view of health. Tables of the rainfall of a few places in each of the regions included in the preceding table will be found below:-- RAINFALL IN PLACES ON N. AND N.E.
