resident there. Diligence to Marseilles, steamer to 

 Genoa, Leghorn, a day at each ; to Civita Vecchia ; a 

 carriage to Kome, along with an English clergyman ; 

 thence back same way to Leghorn, Pisa, Florence. 

 Vetturino to Bologna, Ferrara, Padua (Visiani at the 

 garden), Venice ; then steamer to Trieste ; a day with 

 Biasoletto, including a botanical excursion, and Tom- 

 masini. Fell in there with a young artist of New 

 York, whose name I have forgotten. We took places 

 in the maUe-poste together to Vienna, but went on 

 two days ahead to Adelsberg ; visited the grotto on a 

 fete day when it was all lighted, and all the country 

 people there in gala trim ; that night went on by 

 malle-poste. At Vienna, Endlicher, and his assistant 

 Fenzl, but the latter laid up with lame knee. Never 

 saw him afterward, but we had a long correspondence. 

 Steamer up the Danube to Linz, tramway, etc., to 

 the Gmunden See, and so to Ischl ; climbed the Zei- 

 mitz, all alone, picked my first Alpine flowers; trav- 

 eled over night to Salzburg, then to Munich; fine 

 times with Martins and Zuecarini, joined the celebra-

 From Munich to Lindau on Lake Constance ; thence 

 to Zurich; up the lake to Horgen; walked over to 

 Art ; walked up the Eigi ; descended the Rigi to take 

 the boat up the lake, missed it, got a man to put me 

 across in Canton Unterwalden ; walked to Stanz, slept, 

 walked next morning to Engelberg, and then over the

 Interlaken and the Staubbach, next over the Wengern 

 Alp to Grindelwald, next over the Grand Scheideck 

 to valley of Hassli, up to the Grimsel, passed a Sun- 

 day in the snow ; walked down to the Rhone glacier
