LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS. 



I\t the beginning of the Preface, the Introduction and 

 each of the five Journeys which compose this book, there is 

 a vignette representing some particularly beautiful spot on 

 the Riviera. Thus at the head of the Preface (p. VIIj we have 

 the varied outline of the Esterel range which so charms us 

 from Golfe [ouan. At the beginning of the Introduction 

 (p. XI) the chain of the Maritime Alps is depicted, as seen 

 from the Cap d'Antibes. Then follows, as heading to the 

 First Journey, (p. 1) a view of the old town of Antibes, 

 with its works of defence, and the snow-clad Alps in the 

 background. The vignette in the Second Journey (p. 151) is 

 a coast scene of the purple rocks near Le Trayas ; while that 

 in the Third Journev (p. 215) represents the old town of Cannes 

 on the Mt. Chevalier. At the beginning of the Fourth Journey 

 (p. 265) is the glorious view over Mentone from the Pont 

 St. Louis ; and finallv, as heading to the Fifth Journey 

 (p. 337), we have the promontory of Portofino, with a cloudv 

 sky and a rough sea dashing its waves against the Marine 

 Parade of Nervi. 



With one exception the plants chosen to illustrate this 

 volume are wild. They are nearly all species which blossom 

 in spring, and which attract the attention of even the unbot- 

 anical, either on account of their beauty of form, bright 

 colouringr, strong scent or wide distribution.
