On the 21st, having been rejoined by Dr. S., we ascended 

 Mont Lize" together, and made a most excellent herbonza- 

 tion. This mountain is scarcely known to the visitors at 

 Cauteret, where indeed it is not visible, being entirely hidden 

 by the less -lofty Pic des Bains. It is true that tourists are 

 in the habit of traversing the Col de Lize between Cauteret 

 and Luz, but it is the mountain on the right of the pa sS 

 which we found so rich, especially in flowering plants. 

 Leaving the regular track, we mounted by a precipitous 

 stream, which descends from the Pic des Bains, and gathered 

 on its banks Marchantia androgyna, Catoscopium nigritunh 

 Meesia uliginosa, Hypnum polymorphum, and Halleri, with 

 some other mosses and several Phanerogamic. Our best 

 plants, however, were gathered on a ridge of schistose rock, 

 near the top of the mountain; we should probably have 

 passed it without examination, had not my companions 

 pocket-telescope shown that it was partially covered with a 

 small and peculiar looking shrub, which we found, on a nearer 

 inspection, to be the beautiful and scarce Ononis rotundifob*'
