saghnllen, OF the eastern coast OF
Siberia. presents very curious anom-
ally Of climate. The island Is bathed
by two cold ocean currents and In
winter nothing protects It against tho
icy northwest winds coming from 81
berls. At the sea level the snow falls
continually and stays on the ground
iii the end OF May and the seashore
Is very cold. Further inland, how
ever, especially as we go higher up,
tho climate is modlhed-Just the op-
poslte TO what Is observed elsewhere.
1t has often been observed In Siberia
and In central Europe that in winter
the cold is greater In the plains and
the villages and that the highlands
have a sensibly mllder temperature;
It is rs II the denser cold air accum-
ulated In the lowlands. The cold air
accumulated In the low regions OF the
island and on the coast the higher
regions have more elevated tenn
perature. SO II happens that the low
err parts have an arctic vegetation,
while the intermediate attitudes have
the vegetation OF temperate zone,
sometimes subtroplcal. The birch the
ash. the pine, the ilr abound In the low
regions and form often impenetrable
forests, but toward the center OF the
island appear bamboos, hydrangeas
nzallns and other plants that one Is
greatly surprised TO meet and whose
presence can be explained only b" the
altogether abnormal climatic condi-
