3. That to the Northward of three Degrees South Latitude, over the whole _Arabian_ or _Indian-Sea_ and Gulph of _Bengall_, from _Sumatra_ to the Coast of _Africa_, there is another _Monsoon_, blowing from _October_ to _April_ upon the North East Points; but in the other half Year, from _April_ to _October_, upon the opposite Points of S. W. and W. S. W. and that with rather more force than the other, accompanied with dark rainy Weather, whereas the N. E. blows clear; 'tis likewise to be noted, that the Winds are not so constant, either in strength or point in the Gulph of _Bengall_, as they are in the _Indian-Sea_, where a certain and steady Gale scarce ever fails. 'Tis also remarkable, that the S. W. Winds in these Seas are generally more Southerly on the _African_ side, more Westerly on the _Indian_. 4. That as an _Appendix_ to the last describ'd _Monsoon_, there is a Tract of Sea to the Southwards of the Æquator, subject to the same Changes of the Winds, _viz._ near the _African_ Coast, between it and the Island _Madagascar_ or St. _Lawrence_, and from thence Northwards as far as the Line; wherein from _April_ to _October_ there is found a constant fresh S. S. W. Wind, which, as you go more Northerly, becomes still more and more Westerly, so as to fall in with the W. S. W. Winds, mention'd before, in those Months of the Year to be certain to the Northward of the Æquator: What Winds blow in these Seas, for the other half Year, from _October_ to _April_, I have not yet been able to obtain to my full satisfaction, for that our Navigators always return from _India_ without _Madagascar_, and so are little acquainted in this Matter; the Account that has been given me is only this, that the Winds are much Easterly hereabouts, and as often to the North of the true East as to the Southwards thereof. 5. That to the Eastward of _Sumatra_ and _Malacca_, to the Northwards of the Line, and along the Coast of _Cambodia_ and _China_, the _Monsoons_ blow North and South, that is to say, the N. E. Winds are much Northerly, and the S. W. much Southerly: This Constitution reaches to the Eastwards of the _Philippine_ Isles, and as far Northerly as _Japan_. The Northern _Monsoon_ setting in, in these Seas, in _October_ or _November_, and the Southern in _May_, blowing all the Summer Months: Here it is to be noted, That the Points of the Compass, from whence the Wind comes in these Parts of the World, are not so fixt as in those lately describ'd; for the Southerly will frequently pass a Point or two to the Eastwards of the South, and the Northerly as much to the Westwards of the North, which seems occasion'd by the great quantity of Land, which is interspers'd in these Seas.
