CALIFORNIA, an extensive country in the western portion of N. America, divided into Lower and Upper California.

LOWER CALIFORNIA, (Sp. California Vieja, kal-e-fox'ne-a ve-а нă, i. e. "Old Califor

nia") a peninsula of above 700 m. in length and 170 m. in its greatest breadth, separated from the main land by the Gulf of Călifornia. The aspect of the greater portion of this country is in the highest degree forbidding; indeed the whole of this region may be regarded as one continuous mass of high, bare and steep rocks, intersected by numerous ravines. With the exception of two or three places, it scarcely contains any level ground which can be called a valley. There is hardly any land susceptible of cultivation, except on the east declivity towards the Galf of California. The climate is exceedingly dry and hot. In some parts it does not rain every year, but only at intervals of five or six years; in other parts it is said that rain never falls. The vegetation, as might be expected, is very scanty. Figs, olives, dates, and vines are, however, cultivated in the less sterile portions to some extent.

UPPER OF NEW CALIFORNIA, (Sp. Alta or Nueva-nwa'vă — California) comprehends the country which lies w of the Anahuac (ana-wack') Mountains, extending from about 32 to 425 N lat.: bounded on the N by Oregon, E by the great mountain chain of N. America, s by Chihuahua, Sonora, and Lower Califor nia, and w by the Pacific. It is about 700 m. in extent from N to s, and from 600 to 800 from E to w. Respecting a large part of this country little or nothing is known. The recent explorations of Captain Fremont (of the U. S. Topographical Engineers) have given us far more definite and exact infor mation concerning the interior than we had before possessed.

On passing inland from the sea, the first chain of mountains met with is the Coast Range, which is a continuation of the rocky highlands which form so large a portion of Lower California; further inland is the Sier ra Nevada (se-er'ră na-vah'da) or "Snowclad range." Both of these mountain chains run nearly in the direction of the sea-shore; the former at a distance, varying from 40 to 60 miles, the latter at a distance from 100 to 200 miles from the Pacific. The valley between them is considered to be the finest part of California. The whole country between the Sierra Nevada and the Pacific is said to be well calculated for settlement, and is probably destined at no distant period to contain a large population.

East of the Sierra Nevada, and between this chain and the Wahsatch Mountains, is situated the Great Basin of California, bounded on erery side by hills or mountains, and extending 700 miles from N to s, and perhaps 400 from x to w. Though only a small part of it has been explored, it is known to contain rivers and lakes, of which none of the waters ever reach the ocean, being probably taken up by evaporation, or lost in the sand of the more arid districts. The whole of this region ap pears to be more or less sterile, and a large portion of it is known to be an uninhabitable desert. On the NE margin of the Great Basin at an elevation of above 4000 feet, is the Great Salt Lake, the waters of which are salter than those of the sea. (See GREAT SALT LAKE.)

Among the wild animals of California may be named the bison, the Rocky Mountaʼn gout

and sheep, the wolf, the panther or American tiger, the wild horse, the antelope, and deer. Beavers abound on many of the streams, particularly the upper tributaries of the Colorado. The birds of this country are generally similar to those of the United States.

In some of the fertile portions of California, wheat of an excellent quality is produced in abundance. Indian corn, potatoes, beans, peas, &c., grow well. The climate and soil appear also to be exceedingly well adapted to the cultivation of grapes.

The white inhabitants of this country, with the exception of the American immigrants, resemble those of the other parts of Mexico, being indolent, and fond of outward show; they are said to be much addicted to gambling. They abound in horses, and are generally fearless and expert riders; in this respect the women are said to be nearly equal to the men. The chief American settlement in California is NUEVA HELVETIA, in the valley of the Sacramento river. The principal towns are MONTEREY, SAN DIEGO, PUEBLO DE LOS ANGELES, SAN FRANCISCO, and SANTA BARBARA. These will be noticed under their respective heads.
