Ata meeting of the California Academy of Sciences, held Monday evening: a discussion was had as to the cause of the frequent land ‘slidés in the Coast Range of mountains, while there are few slides in the Sierra Nevada. The only reasous given, according to the re port in the Chronicle, was the difference in soil, climate, and slope of the two ranges Of mountaiis ; but these do not account for the difference. ‘Tie soil of the Sierra Nevada is a8 loose.as that of the Coast Range, some of theslopes are steeper and louger, While the rainfall is ‘mach greater; so that for all ‘the reasons assigned, slides ‘should be much ‘moré’ frequent” in” the’ Sierra Nevada. We takeit that the reason of the few land slides in the Sierras:is on account of the. heavy’ growth of vegetation. The roots and rootlets of the trees. and other form a regular network toa considerable depth, which holds of the Sierras.
