Map No. 1 — Mean Annual Rainfall. 



Note. — Localities frequently referred to in these tables are designated by numbers in 

 circles, as follows: 1, Redding; 2, Red Bluff; 3, Chico (Oroville is situated southeast of 

 Chico, in the same county); 4, Sacramento; 5, Fresno; 6, San Jose; 7, Los Angeles; 8, 

 . Riverside ; 9, San Diego. 



Mean Annual Temperature. 



Map No. 2 shows the distribution of lines of mean annual temperature. 

 It will be remarked that the whole interior basin of California, from lati- 

 tude 35° to 41°, or from Tehachapi to Redding, is embraced in an elongated 

 loop, to indicate equal heat. The whole area within this loop is given, by 

 printed figures on the map, an average annual temperature of 60° to 65°. 

 Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, and San Diego are included in a separate 

 division of the map, but the mean annual temperature marked for their 

 division is 60° to 65°, the same as for the Sacramento and San Joaquin 

 Valleys. Riverside is in the grade below Sacramento — 55° to 60°. It may 

 be said, in passing, that the mean annual temperature at Sacramento, as 

 shown by Signal Service records, is 60.2° F.; almost the same as that of 

 Rome, which is 60.7°.
