Excerpt from Geological Reconnoissance of Porto Rico
The Island of Porto Rico is situated in the Torrid Zone between lati tude 17° 54 and 18° 30 north and longitude 65° 13 and 67° 15 west. It is the easternmost and southernmost of the Greater Antilles. It lies Within the trade-wind belt, and the constancy of these Winds gives the island a remarkably mild and uniform climate. There is an abundance of rainfall on the windward side, Which in this case is the east end and the north side as far west as Camuy. The effect of the mountains across Which these Winds blow is to make the south side of the island and most of the western portion comparatively arid; Some districts are said to have no rainfall for a whole year at a stretch.
