The most extensive district with winter rain, that of the Mcditcrraiican 

 countries, occurs in the northern hemisphere. It is true that in its northern 

 parts late autumn and early spring are for the most part humid, but this is de- 

 void of oecological significance on account of the low temperature at the time. 



The rainfall is very unequal. It lies mostly between 60 and 90 cm., but still, 

 here and there, it rises above 100 cm., whilst in the eastern part of the African 

 littoral district it sinks so low that deserts extend down to the seashore.
