Excerpt from The Navigation of the Pacific Ocean, China Seas, Etc: Translated at the United States Hydrographic Office, From the French § 1. Calm-Belts, Equatorial and Tropical Calms. - In the author's Instructions for the Navigation of the Atlantic, tables were given indicating, for every season, the percentage of calms experienced in each square of 5 degrees. The following tables are prepared in a similar manner: As may be observed, information is wanting for the central portion of the North Pacific, comprised between the meridians 105° W. and 150° E. Directions for the other parts, including the most frequented routes, are, on the contrary, as full as could be desired.
