Notes and Reflections during a Tour : — 



On this are three clothed figures, larger than life, represent- 

 ing three of the disciples worshipping a figure of Jesus 



Christ, which is placed on the summit of the rock. In this 

 burial-ground, as in most others in Catholic countries, is a 

 large and conspicuous crucifix in stone, the sculpture of 

 which is considered to be remarkably well executed. There 

 is a plain chapel for the usual purposes, and a number of 

 trees and bushes are sprinkled among the tombs ; but no 

 flowers, the situation being low, and the soil clayey and 

 moist. Here the children are buried in a place by them- 

 selves, to economise space, as at Kinzigthal. Their little 

 graves are distinguished by crosses and crowns of white 

 satin, ornamented with everlastings of different colours, and 

 with artificial roses, wallflowers, &c., made of paper. 



The Bota?iic Garden at Carlsruhe has been noticed at 

 length in our third volume (p. 205.), when giving a review 

 of M. Hartweg's Catalogue. This excellent man died in 

 18S0, and the garden is now under the management of 

 M. Zeiher. We visited the Carlsruhe garden in Novem- 

 ber, 1828, and found it exceedingly well stocked and well 

 kept. Among the fine specimens which it contained were, 

 Wistarm Consequa7?«, covering the end of a house, and 

 ripening annually a great number of seeds; Andromeda 

 arb5rea, twelve feet high, also ripening seeds ; MagncM/a 

 itiaerophylla, ten feet high, flowering freely. In the stove, 

 Chamae^rops hvlmilis, with fruit, from which, as at Berlin, 

 young plants had been raised ; Curtis/a^ginea, very large ; 

 Passifl5ra waliformis, ripening abundance of fruit every year ;
