page 54 note 1 The ‘modern’ compass-card of 32 points is of medieval origin; it came first into use in the Mediterranean, where its history is involved with that of the compass itself. This subject has a copious literature of its own. Cf. (e.g.) D'Avezac, Aperçus historiques sur la Boussole, Bull. Soc. Géogr. Paris, (4) xix. 1860; Ap. histor. sur la Rose des Vents, Bollet. Soc.

page 55 note 1 There is some confusion here, with which we cannot stop to deal. Caecias is out of place; and Pliny has no wind from sunrise at the summer solstice, where Caecias ought to be.
