Having arrived at the eastern edge of the mountain, we rested 
a while to contemplate the extensive prospect below and around us. 
On our left, the Devil's Mountain obstructed the view eastward ; but 
commencing from that point, the eye surveys in succession, the Sand 
Flats or isthmus curiously marked by the roads leading towards Hot- 
tentot Holland, which have the appearance of irregular lines of a 
lighter color ; Rondebosch, Wi/nberg, Witteboom and Const antia, Zeekoe 
Valley and False Bay. Beyond these, are seen the important pass 
of Hottentot Holland Kloof, and False Cape or Cape Hanglip. * 
Southward are seen the pass and mountain of Muisenberg (Mouse- 
mountain) and Simon s Bay ; the whole length of the Cape Peninsula, 
as far as the Cape of Good Hope Proper, with Hout Bay (Wood Bay), 
and Steenbergen (Stone Mountains), present themselves surrounded 
by the boundless ocean.

The numbers in my catalogue, previous to this excursion, amounted to 516; all ob- 
tained in the vicinity of Cape Town : notwithstanding which, this single day's collection 
added no less than li8 species, 51 of which were found in the ascent, and 97 on the sum- 
mit. The number of individual specimens selected and preserved this day, was 1 133. 
* Corrupted most probably from Hangklip, a hanging rock.
