place : it is not found in Sweden •, but we 

 have other juicy plants, fuch as (Salicornia 

 jLuropaa) marfh famphire, or jointed glaff- 

 wort. 



The country hereabouts was already beau- 

 tified with many flowers. Dwarf-mallow {Mai- 

 •va rotandifolia), with large red flowers, grew 

 both about the houfes and out of town, and 

 was greedily eaten by hogs and oxen; but 

 they always palTed by the funfpurge (Euphor- 

 bia heliofcopia), and would rather eat the Car- 

 duns Syriacus, the white fpotted leaves of 

 which, though they ornament the fields, I. 

 think, afford but a poor food. 



The cow-herds go with long flicks, like the 

 Polifh bear-keepers. All the Spanifti fnores 

 are mountainous, except in this place. The 

 foil alfo varies much. On the fea-fhore you 

 find during low water a blue clay, and near it 

 a fine white fand, which covers the country 

 here and there at a little diftance from the fea. 

 It often looks like large hills of fnow, where 

 pine woods or other plants hinder it from fly- 

 ing. Higher up from the fea, you find, a 

 mould mixed with fand and pebbles, fometimes 

 pf a red, and fometimes of another colour.
