No. 4. MouRASTELL — black. This variety differs very 

 little from the Mataro, but the grapes are rather 

 smaller. 



— 5. St. Antoine — black ; the grape very large. It 



is a very good eating grape, although the skin is 

 rather strong. The wine made from this grape 

 by itself has a very agreeable flavour, but it yields 

 very little. 



— 6. BLANauETTE — white, thin-skinned, of a very good 



flavour, yielding a headi^ white wine, which is em- 

 ployed in giving strength to the light white wines 

 of Languedoc. 



— 7. Muscat, a strongly flavoured white grape — ex- 



cellent for eating — yields little, and arrives early 

 at maturity. 



— 8. PiauE-PouLLE, a pink-coloured grape — very fine 



skinned, and excellent for eating. It yields a 

 light coloured wine [clairet) of agreeable flavour. 

 Cavoleau says, that the wine of this grape is dis- 

 tinguished for its agreeable bouquet. 



— 9. Hermitage. This variety was brought to Rou- 



sillon some years ago by M. Durand, from the 

 celebrated vineyards of Hermitage, on the banks 

 of the Rhone. It yields little, but the flavour of 

 its produce is excellent. The wine made from 

 this grape in Rousillon, has less "^wme," but 

 more strength than in its original soil.

lioure, about 30 miles south-east of Perpignan,

 viz. — Panse, 10 cuttings ; Pampanelle, 6 cut- 

 tings; Pique poulle Noir, 5 cuttings; Gre- 

 nache Blanche, 3 cuttings. But these descrip-
