ON THE INFLUENCE OF FOR
ESTS ON RAINFALL.
By ALFRED FRYER.
(From the Sugar Cane.)

The californian Horticuhur1st draws
attention to the condition of San Diego,
California. 1t states that previously to
1863 there was yearly a rainy season
which made the soil n~ourishing and pro-
d%uctive. In 1868 a destructive fire swept
over the greater part of the country des-
troying the forest and blackening the hills.
Since that time there has been no rainy
season at San Diego.
Mr.. Edmund Surge has informed the
writer that in Montserrat he has frequent
~ noticed that showers which have de-
scended copiously upon the forest, have
not reached the open cleared land, and
that on various occasions having been
driven from the woods by the heavy rain,
he has been surprised to find that on
emerging from them, the shower had not
extended beyond their borders. This con-
firms the experience of Bonsssng0uh, Up.
