I GEOGRAPHICAL POSITION AND EXTENT. US, ^ « JqjTQ,^ I The western portion of British North America, known as British Columbia, extends from the shores of the Pacific (|ceau on the west to the Rocky Mountains on the east. Its / -^y.jiDuthern boundary is the 49th parallel and its northern the 9)th degree of north latitude. Included within its limits are the large island of Vancou- j^T, over 200 miles in length, and with an average breadth of %) miles, the Queen Charlotte group, and some tliousands of 4 lands adjacent thereto, a great number of which are well lapted for settlement. The area of British Columbia, as estimated by the Dominion itinister of the Interior, is 390,344 square miles, containing i^arly 250 millions of acres. British Columbia is three times as large as Great Britain d Ireland; is greater than California, Oregon and Wash- ton Temtory, combined, or than the provinces of Ontario, w Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and (anitoba collectively. I CLIMATE. \ 'I ^M British Columbia is favored with a climate superior to that any other portion of the Dominion of Canada. Indeed, it no superior on the continent of America. As might turally be expected, over so vast a country the climate varies atly. On Vancouver, Queen Charlotte and adjacent islands i on the coast of the mainland, the mean winter tempera- e is about 42 degrees, and that of summer a little over 60 ?rees Fahrenheit. observations taken by the Dominion Government at Fort pson, in latitude 54, show a summer temperature approxi- ting closely to that of San Francisco, California, and a ter temperature higher than that of portions of OregoDu u 41 Jpace w] The remarkable milduesa of climate, over 350 miles uortli^ ^^j,|..^j of the city of Victoria, the capital of Briti.sl Columbia, iJjj^ ^^^'.^j attributed to the warm Japanese current which strikes tlit | Queeu Charlotte Islands and Hows southerly along theshore^ qij^^ ^^ of Vancouver Island. ^^^^. .^^ ^ rennirl m ' ' The annual rainfall of the islands and of the coast of tb aiulaiid varies from 45 to (iO indues, according to locality. |ij^p ^,^^^^ The southern interior, like that of California and OregoDj ^j^^ ^^^^^ is dryer, and has gi'eater extrones of temperature than tlij ^^^^^ -, coast and islands, which are subject to ocean intluence^ ^^^.^.^ ^^^ The mean heat of summer is about 75 degi-ees and that (j ,ijjj^,|„ winter 2(] degrees.
