Coast and Geodetic Survey, called attention to the abrupt change in the direction of the coast line at this point as having an important effect upon the climate in that vicinity. When the trade winds are blowing down the line of the coast (which they do for the greater part of the year) they pass Point Conception and continue on the line of the island? lying south of the point. Their action in this respect influences largely the direction and temperature of the sur- face currents, that flow on ...to, and are diverted by the islands, the effect being to produce on the Santa Barbara coast a warm area in which fogs rarely prevail close in shore. But this same warm reflex current evaporates a large amount ot moisture that, meeting, a short distance out from the land, the cool air moving in from the sea, produces fog which prevails for long periods of time. During thirteen consecutive weeks, Mr. Forney adds, while at work in the vicinity of Piedras Blaucas and Point Sal, he did not see the shore line once, the fog hanging 23 over it to a height of 1300 or 1400 feet.
