The annual isothermal line for 10° C. (50 F.) curvesbelow the 40th parallel where it passes through Japan in the latitude ofnorthern Hondo; and the annual isotherm for 15° C. (60 F.) curves belowthe 35th parallel, or below tlie latitude of Tokio, the capital, so that theaverage temperature of the Cryptonieria region ranges from 10° to 15° C.(50° to 60° F.). In Tokio the registered annual rainfall is about 70 incheswith a grathial decrease northwaixls towards Yeso ; southwards of Tokioit seldom sinks below 50 inches. These data sliow tliat
