The following complete tables of the rainfall at San Francisco and 

 Sacramento since the American settlement of the State, being repre- 

 sentative points of the coast and interior valley climates, are worthy of 

 close study and attention. There appears to be one fact of much value 

 established thereby, viz: that there is a general correspondence between 

 the amount of rain falling before the first of January of each season, 

 and the amount which falls afterwards. Thus, if the rainfall is below 

 the average, as for instance in eighteen hundred and sixty-three and 

 eighteen hundred and sixty-four, before the first of January, it will 

 prove deficient afterwards; and on the other hand, if excessive before 

 the first of January, as in eighteen hundred and sixty-seven and eighteen 

 hundred and sixty-eight, it will maintain the same proportion subse- 

 quently. Easing our calculations on this standard, we may then expect, 

 according to the above data, at least six inches more of rain during the 

 balance of the present season, which will bring up the total to twenty- 

 four and a half or twenty-five inches. Our agricultural friends will 

 make a note of this, and regulate their operations accordingly.
