LIST or PLATES. 



Plate I. — Costume of Madeira. The figure on the left, is one of the Fran- 

 ciscan friars, going to beg provision for his convent. The peasant nearest to him 

 bears a full wine-skin on his shoulders, and the other, in front, is coming with his fowls 

 and basket of fruit to the market. The woman who is advancing, is carrying flour 

 and bananas, and the one who is returning, carries dried fish, and a bundle of flax for 

 spinning. The garden in the back-ground shews the method of training ^the vines, 

 and contains an American Aloe, a small Dragon-tree, and Banana-trees. 



' Plate II. — The Aqueduct of Lisbon, with the hills on each side of it, and the 

 orange gardens beneath. 



Plate III. — Geological sections. A, the first section, is to the westward of the 

 Pontinha, or Loo bridge, and the strata lie as follows, beginning at the top : columnar 

 basalt, red tufa, scoriae, yellow tufa, scoriae, and yellow tufa intersected by two bands 

 of pumice. The figure in this, as in all the other plates, bears an exact proportion to 

 the sketch. B is also to the west of the Pontinha, and shews the basaltic caverns 

 near the sea. C is to the east of the Pontinha, and only differs by having a layer 

 of hackly basalt, between the two columnar strata. D is a distant view of Plate 

 VI., where the slip beneath the sea is more plainly seen, than in the nearer represen- 

 tation.
