There were plenty of both kinds in the

But in addition to the popular impression that
climate is changing, an impression which has now
been to be without support the esults of
instrumental records, good deal other evidence
has been adduced at time another which
has been believed to prove climatic change Yet
most of the facts thus brought forward may easily
be explained without the need of calling upon
changes of climate.
For example it has been asserted that because
grapes olives other fruit and cereals
are now no longer grown in parts OF Europe where
their cultivation important occupa-
ton, therefore must conclude that the climate
Such conclusion is by no means inevitable;
for it easily be shown that the changes in the
districts of cultivation of various crops often result
from the fact that the grapes the the
olives in time found to be proitably grown
easily prepared for market in another local
ity The climate of the districts first used has not
changed.
In France, Angot has made careful compilation
of the dates of the vintage from the fourteenth
century down to the present time, and finds
support for the view commonly held there that
the climate has changed for the The dates
of the vintage do however, indicate some oScla-
ton of the climatic elements. In the period 1878
1873 the average date of the grape harvest at
Aubonne about ten days earlier than during
the preceding century, but three days later than
during the second century preceding. At the
present time the average date of the grape harvest
at Aubonne is exactly the same as at the close of
the sixteenth century.
Wheat was formerly more generally cultivated
farther north in the British Isles than it is at pres
ent, because it paid. Later, after a readjustment
of the taxes breadstuffs, it was longer so
profitable to grow cereals in that region and the
area thus cultivated diminished. Changes in the
facility or in the cost of importation of certain
