Stran 390 - This anomalous distribution of heat is explained by the fact that during the day the lower strata of air in the valley becomes heated and gradually rises up en masse, its place being supplied by the cold air flowing in from the north, near the surface of the ground, that has been cooled by radiation during the long winter nights. Orange trees planted in these thermal belts, at an elevation of more than 2,000 feet, suffer little from the ravages of frost. The rainy season lasts from October to April....

Mount Shasta is a part of the Coast Range, and is between the two ranges, in the southern part of the county. The mount is 14,450 feet high, being perpetually hooded with snow. The valleys here are from 2,000 to 4,000 feet above the sea-level, the mountains all being among the highest in the United States. The Coast...
Stran 454 - River, of which mention has been made, traverses the entire length of the county from northeast to southwest.
