" The vegetation of the tertiary plains and hills is similar to that of 

 the softer and more chalky portions of the limestone. On them the 

 species of Ophrys are most abundant. The plants of the travertine 

 plain of Pamphylia are 'those of the neighbouring limestone. The 

 more recent calcareous formations, both soft and hard, however, do 

 not bear the luxuriant arborescent vegetation which flourishes on the 

 older. The sandy plains near the sea, and those of alluvial origin, 

 are inhabited by many species not found elsewhere ; these we have 

 already noted when describing the succession of plants observed 

 during our journey in spring. 



" The sea- weeds of the Lycian shores are those of the rest of the 

 iEgean. Along the coast line Pardina pavonia and Dictyota dicJio- 

 toma are abundant. Deeper, and usually on muddy ground, to a 

 depth of several fathoms, grow the vivid green and elegant fronds of 

 Caulerpa prolifera, which, when enumerating the fishes, we have 

 shewn to have probably been the sea plant called Prasium by the 

 ancients. The curious sponge-like Codium hursa, the Sargassum 

 salicifoliutn, species of Cystoseira and Sporochnus, Haliseris poly- 

 podioides, and Dictyomenia voluhilis, may be taken along with the 

 Caulerpa. The Dictyomenia, conspicious on account of its stiff cork- 

 screw-like purple fronds, has a great range in depth, since we dredged 

 it even in fifty fathoms of water, associated with Ritiphhea tinctoria 

 and Chrysimenia uvaria. Codium Jlahelliforme ocurred at the en- 

 trance of the gulf of Macri in thirty fathoms, associated with that rare 

 and curious vegetable net, the Microdictyon umhilicatwn. Below 

 fifty fathoms no flexible sea-weeds were observed. The coral-like 

 Millepora polymorpha took their places, and ranged even as deep as 

 one hundred fathoms. Beyond that depth we found no traces of 

 vegetable life, unless some of the minute and microscopic infusorial 

 bodies there living be regarded as plants." — Vol. ii. p. 150. 



In concluding our brief notice of these volumes we must again in- 

 vite attention to the extreme beauty of the engravings which exhibit
