Honolulu is a fair sample of tropical climate on a small 

 island, very equable, but 14 warmer, in its coldest month, 

 than San Francisco is in July. 



72 MontUy Means. The following table gives the mean 

 monthly temperatures for a number of places in California 

 and elsewhere. 



San Francisco has one of the mildest and most equable 

 climates in the world. Many places in the tropics are more 

 equable, but with the equability of intense and enervating 

 heat. Vallejo is nearly thirty miles from the ocean, and has a 

 warmer summer and a colder winter than the immediate coast. 

 Sacramento has the climate of Naples and Jerusalem through- 

 out the year : its summer being the same as that of New York, 

 but its winter fourteen degrees warmer. Fort Reading and 

 Nagasaki have nearly the same figures. Fort Yuma, in the 

 Colorado Desert, in latitude 32 45', is warmer than New 

 Orleans in 29 57'.
