frequently terminate in cliffs. The views from them over the 

 river are beautiftil, but unfortunately the distant outline of the

 go frequently in four or five different directions into the country, 

 and steamers go six times a day, calling at every village both up 

 and down the river. 



Opinions .vary so much as to what are varieties in England, 

 that perhajps I have inserted many plants which had better be

 about the identification of which I was sure. I think I could 

 gather very nearly every one of them in the same places in 

 which I found them before.
