representing the positions of the views and investing rocks has been 

 given for illustrating their present features. 



Doing the tour in the agricultural sections of the State, the modifica 

 tions of the soils in different sections has been noted, and the natural 

 productions arising as resultants, where they seemed of a general charac 

 ter, and extending over any considerable area. The " Saline lands " 

 have been observed, and the opportunities that were offered for their re 

 clamation, whed at any time demanded. The extent of cropping and re 

 sultant crops in some parts of the State, are of peculiar interest, and the 

 facts developed in this particular will prove of much value to our agri 

 cultural interests, being an exhibition of the capabilities of some our 

 soils for the production of the necessaries of life, unexcelled in the his 

 tory of the world. 



The temperature of the mountainous and valley sections of both branches 

 of the coast mountains, was noted as far as the nature of attending cir 

 cumstances would permit, for the purpose of ascertaining as far as pos 

 sible the peculiar adaptation of the different sections to the culture of 

 exotic fruits and trees, and where no opportunity of personal examina 

 tion offered, a careful inquiry of persons long resident in different sec 

 tions, was made, by which many interesting facts have been obtained, 

 relating to this subject. 



This report will embrace the examination of a district of countrv, in 

 cluded within 120 16' and 122 32' west longitude, and from the thirty- 

 fifth parallel to the thirty-ninth degree of north latitude, inclusive of the 

 coast mountains and mineral districts. 



The coast mountains are watered by thirty-two streams, the most of 

 which are small, their names and the counties in which they are located 

 will be found below.
