- PLATE III. 
Nothing can be more charming than а morning walk in the immediate neighbourhood of Galle. 
The roads, which are kept in excellent repair, are generally of a reddish hue, and lead across 
paddi-fields of the brightest green, and under dark masses of trees mixed with coco nut and areca 
palms, plantains and bamboo, which gracefully bend their shady branches over the path. 
Numerous small birds and butterflies add brightness to the foliage and large lizards (Monitor), 
from three to four feet in length, enjoy their በ0166 far niente in the morning-sun.
