AVERAGE TEMPERATURE AND FALL OF RAIN. 



TABLE, showing the average temperature of the four Sea- 

 sons at points on the Pacific and Atlantic coasts, and 

 the interior of this continent. 



From this table it will be perceived that Astoria, on the 

 Pacific coast, and Fort Ripley in the interior, are in about 

 the same latitude. Astoria, though 650 ' miles north of 

 Monterey, is only 3 degrees colder. Fort Ripley is fifteen 

 degrees colder than St. Louis, although it is only about 

 500 miles further north. 



San Francisco, St. Louis, and Fort Monroe, are in about 

 the same latitude. The difference between the mean sum- 

 mer and winter temperature of San Francisco is less than 

 seven degrees; of St. Louis, nearly forty-four degrees; 

 and of Fort Monroe, thirty-six degrees. Eastport is two 

 degrees south of Astoria, but is nine degrees colder.
