Japan occupies a striking position in these currents which flow northward from the Indian ocean and the Malay peninsula. That branch of the great Pacific equatorial current called the Kuro Shiwo, or dark tide or current, on account of its color, flows in a westerly direction past Formosa and the Liu Kiu islands, strikinig a branch up the Sea of Japan. With great velocity it scours the east coast of Kiushiu and the south of Shikoku; these with diminished rapidity it envelopes the group of island south the Bay of Yeddo; and flows northeast towards the shores of America, ultimately giving to our own Pacific coast states a far milder climate than the corresponding latitudes on the Atlantic coast.
