Britton, of Columbia School of 3lines, aaya: ''AlthoughCape May has neter been liolaulcally explored to the extent that discoveries ^already made should warrant, yet it ha* already yielded a numapcclea of more southern distribution, and *o far i* la known ia the northern limit of a number of aoethern

*- ietiea ol pilots.' ”

The climate nq-ort continues: “It la interesting here to obeervr that the isothermal line of SC3, the mean temperature (of Cape 31ay) runs, according to the cbariaof the Smithsonian Icstiiutc, throngh West Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Eastern Tennessee and Bontheru Missouri, near the parallels of 36 and 87 3 nJrtfa latitude. The effect of so high a temperature In Ibe spring Is to produce crops of vegetables and small fruHa quite aa early as Ports-

mouth aod Norfolk.”

Thongb warmer iu winter it I* cooler in sarnmer than plaocs in the Interior of the country.

aa followa:

“In the win!- r months the proximity of B>e Gulf Stieam to the Atlantic teaboard hit the effect of elevating the temperature In the vicinity of the ocean from 40 to 100, while in the summer the effect la ravened because of a cold current rannlng southward, between the coast and the Gnlf Stream.”
