I m p o r t a n t and interesting as has ever been the History of the Spanish settlements in Ame­ rica, particularly to the inhabitants of the same continent, that importarme and interestis at the present period greatly increased, by the oc- currence of events of such magnitude, as will most probably be attended witli the total sevér- ance of those colonies from Europe, and the estàblishment of a new empire in the west. O f thèse séttlements, Chili is in many respects one of thè Uixiòst important. Blest with a soil fertile beyond description, à climate mild and salubrious in thé highest degree, productive of evèry con- véniencé and most of the luxuries of life, and fich in the precious metáis, Nature appears to haye been delighted in lavishing its bounties upoh this favoured portion of the globe.

Through the politeness of agentlemanof his acquaintance, the translator has also been furnished with an anonymous compendium of the History of Chili, printed in Bologna, in 1776, from which the supplementary notes to this volume are taken. In addition to what is said ab ove, the English Editor has to state, that he has, from documents in his possession, added a few occasional Notes, which are distinguished by the ïetters JB. JE- He has also subjoined, from Falkner’s Descrip- tion of Patagònia, a further elucidation of the language of the Auracanos; andtwo Appendixes, the first containing an Account of the Archi- pelago of Chiloé, from the Descripción Histo­ rial of that Province, by P. F. Pedro González de Agüeros, printed at Madrid, in 17 9 1; and the second, an Account of the Native Tribes who inhabit the Southern Extremity of South Ame­ rica, extracted chiefly from Falkner’s work. PREFACE TO THE NATURAL HISTORY OF.CH1LL T h e attention of Europe is at tliis time more than ever directed to America. W e are desirous of obtaining information of its climate, its natu­ ral productions, and its inhabitants; in short, every thing that is worthy of notice in that part of the world is now a subject of intefest to the most enlightened nations. Chili is acknowledged, by all who have writ- ten upon America, to be one of its provinces meriting the most attention. This country is distinguished, not so much by its extent, as by the mildness of its climate; and it raay be said to enjoy all the advantages of the most fayoured. countries without their inconveniences. In my opinión, it may, with propriety, be compared to ltaly ; as this is called the garden of Europe, that, with more justice, may be styled the garden of South America. The climate of the two countries is nearly the same, b 3 X and they are situated under nearly similar pa<* ralléis of latitude. They likewíse resemble each ollier m tíie circumsíance of íheir being of much. greater extent'in iengih iban in breadth, and that they are boíh divided by a chain of moun- faias. The Cordilleras or fhe Andes are to Chili, what tire Appennhies are to Iíaly, tlie source of almost all the rivera that water the coüntry, and diffuse over it fertility and abundance^ This cbain of mountains has as sensible an infíúence onthe salubxiiy of the air of Chili, as the Apen- nines have upon that of ítaly; and so ñrmly are the iuhabitants couyiuced of this fact, that, whenever they álteospt to account for any chango in the state of the atmosphere, they attribute it to the effeci of these mouniaíns, which they con- síder as power-ful and iufallïble agenta. A coimhy so revnarkabíef boíh for iís natura! productions, and its politi cal staíe, certainly werits to be well fcriown ; jet the accounts that we have of it are merely superficial, and titile is to be fouaá, respeeting its natural productions, su wnters opon natural history. O f the ian- guage and the cusióms of the íohabitants we are equally ignorant, and scarcely any thing is known o f ¿he excrtions.which the Chilians imVe made, oyen in our <lavs, t© deferid íheir libertíésv Á few well-íoforraed travellers, who have been ín the comitry, have publislied some v&Iuable accounts, bul too conscise to fu-rnish a fcòmpetent ideà of it. Father Lotiis Feüiílé, a French Minina friar, has given a scientific de- scription of the plants that he found upon the coast, to which he has.added an account of se- veral animals that hé noticed tliere. This is a Wórk of great mèrit; the désciiptions are pre­ cise., and perfecti y correct; but as it was pub- lished by tíie ordér and at tlie expense of tbe king3 the copies of it have become very scaree, and are in the possession ó f but fevv. A number of Spanish authors have treated of this country. The last century produced severa!, noi to mention those of the present; but few of their writings, however, have been published, for reasons which I sliall liereaffer assiffn,O O f the latter, tlie first in point of merit are those of Don Pedro de Figueroa, and the Abbés Mi- chael de Olivarez and Philip VMaurre. The two former treat of the political history of the country, from the arrival of tbe Spaniards to' the present time. That of tbe Abbé Olivarez merits particular attention, from the great number of interesting facts relative to the long wars be- tween the Spaniards and Araucanians, whicli lié has collected with no less judgment than indus- try.

  • Chapter 1 the California Flora
    CHAPTER 1 THE CALIFORNIA FLORA The Californian Floristic Province California is a large state with a complex topography and a great diversity of climates and habitats,resulting in a very large assemblage of plant species that vary in size and include both the world’s largest trees and some of the smallest and most unique plant species. In order to create manageable units for plant investigations, botanists have divided the continental landform into geographic units called floristic provinces. These units reflect the wide variations in natural landscapes and assist botanists in predicting where a given plant might be found. Within the borders of California, there are three floristic provinces, each extending beyond the state’s political boundaries. The California Floristic Province includes the geographi- cal area that contains assemblages of plant species that are more or less characteristic of California and that are best de- veloped in the state.This province includes southwestern Ore- gon and northern Baja California but excludes certain areas of the southeastern California desert regions, as well as the area of the state that is east of the Sierra Nevada–Cascade Range axis (map 1).The flora of the desert areas and those east of the Sierra Nevada crest are best developed outside the state, and therefore, parts of the state of California are not in the Cali- fornia Floristic Province. The Great Basin Floristic Province includes some of the area east of the Sierra Nevada and some regions in the northeastern part of the state, although some botanists consider the latter area to belong to another distinct floristic province, the Columbia Plateau Floristic Province.

Elias Professor of Food Science Thesis Co-Advisor Michela Centinari Associate Professor of Viticulture Robert F. Roberts Professor of Food Science Head of the Department of Food Science iii ABSTRACT It is often said that high quality grapes must be used in order to create high quality wines. This production begins in the vineyard and is impacted by viticultural and environmental conditions that may or may not be able to be controlled. Weather conditions are among these uncontrollable factors, and the influence of weather conditions on final grape and wine quality has been the subject of investigation in both research and industry for many years. Many studies have determined that factors such as rainfall, sunlight exposure, and temperature play an important role in the development of phenolic and aromatic compounds and their precursors in berries, which ultimately affects wine aroma, taste, and flavor. Examination of weather conditions and climate in wine regions have been the subject of studies not only to understand impacts on wine quality attributes, but also to determine if regional trends exist for particular areas. The concept of regionality, or the particular style of wine that a growing region produces, is a new area of study for the Eastern United States, including Pennsylvania, which is the focus of this study.
