west coast of the new continent, exact thermometric obser-
vations are still almost entirely wanting; but the mildness
of the winters in New California shews that the west coasts
of America and Europe, under the same parallels of latitude,
probably differ little from each other in mean annual tempe-
rature. The subjoined table shows what are the correspond-
ing mean annual temperatures, in the same geographical
latitudes, of the west coast of Europe and the east coast of
the New Continent.
