The North Side 



land in the centre of the island, and the heads 

 of the great ravines, the weather in winter is 

 often unsuitable. But in summer tent life at 

 this altitude must be very delightful. A de- 

 scription of its charms may be found in the 

 late Mr. Wollaston's volume on the insects of 

 Madeira. Under such agreeable conditions he 

 pursued his investigations. But from what I 

 have observed, there are certain races of insects 

 which may best be studied in the villages.
