* By comparing these maps with the county map of the State, the reader 

 can perceive at a glance in what particular thermal or rain belt any town 

 or county is located. 



These maps, it must be remembered, are official. While they may be

 happy to say that they confirm in all respects the claims that this journal 

 has made for Northern California in comparison with the southern portion 

 of the State. They tell at a glance the story of climatic conditions in Cali-
