Excerpt from Meteorology and Climatology of the Great Valleys and Foothills of California, for From Fifteen to Thirty-Six Years A brief synopsis of the meteorological features of the following signal service stations in the order named: San Diego, Los Angeles, San Fran cisco, Sacramento, and Red Bluff. A table Of interesting matter, composed of the most prominent places of California, and other portions Of the United States, and health resorts of Europe and Mexico, showing the mean annual temperature, mean temperature for Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter, along with the highest and lowest temperature for many years. This table shows that California compares with other noted health resorts and promi nent places in a highly complimentary manner to this State. The North Winds of California, always an interesting study, have been reproduced, being from the pen of the Rev. J. H. C. Bonte, Secretary of the State University of California. An excellent report on the climate of Palestine, and more particular] Jerusalem, by Mr. Selah Merrill, United States Consul at the latter place. That climate will be found to resemble our own in a great many respects, especially at Colfax, which is nearly the same elevation as Jerusalem. It is an article that will well repay a careful perusal. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
