Description: A diagram to show the currents of the North Atlantic. In order to illustrate the currents clearly it has seemed necessary to make them as if they were sharply bounded, like a river in its channel. However, the boundaries of these great currents and drifts are so indefinite that one would not be able to detect the boundaries.
