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
