We find norecord of continuous observation for even a single year in Ne-vada or Arizona; and in no State does the mean temperatureindicate the extreme range of the thermometer, which often risesin summer many degrees above the mean, and in winter fallsmany degrees below the mean range. This is more especiallythe case in the central basin and in the prairie States of theNorth-west.
