GRI) LL, a mountain of Switzerland, being one of 
the Alps which ‘feparate the Vallais from the country of 
Berne. The afcent of this mountain prefents the feveral 
fhades of vegetation: in the valley and lower parts of the 
mountain, corr and rich meadows: then forefts of larch and 
pine ; next fhort grafs, together with feveral fpecies of herbs, 
that afford exquilite pafture to the cattle: to thefe fucceed 
the various tribes of mofles and lichens; then bare rocks 
. Inthe midi of this mountain, about two miles 
from the top, is a {mall plain or hollow, ¢ontaining one foli- 
tary hovel, furnifhing accommodations for ‘travellers, and 
kept by a landlord who is placed here by the canton of Berne, 
and relides in it about nine months, from the firft of March 
to the beginning of December. When he returns he leaves 
provifions for any unfortunate wanderer who may chance to 
pals this way in winter; and on both fides of the track lon 
poles are fixed for direétion to travellers after the fnow has 
allen. In the fummer months numerous herds of goats are 
kept upon thefe mountains. e fources of the Aar are 
hree lakes near the hovel juft mentioned ; one of thefe lakes 
is of a dark appearance, and its name is as melancholy as its 
afpect: it is called the “lake of the dead,’ becaufe the 
“bodies of thofe who perifh in travelling thefe inhofpi-
