THE FLORA OF WARWICKSHIRE. 
shaped direct for Cape Tennez, Algiers, and Cape Bon ; and 
after passing the former point until we reached the Bight of 
Tunis, I obtained an almost uninterrupted view of the North 
African shore. I was charmed beyond measure with the 
wild, rugged grandeur of this coast line. East from Algiers 
the picture is unique and of one type. In front are the 
placid waters of the blue Mediterranean, dotted here and 
there with rude Arab boats, whose latteen sails bend grace¬ 
fully to the balmy breeze. Then come shelving hills and 
undulations reaching up from the coast line, and clad with a 
scrubby vegetation, while volumes of smoke from charcoal 
fires may be seen wreathing slowly upwards here and there. 
Surveying this vista from the distant background towers a 
noble stretch of weird and grotesque mountain heights, with 
peaklets, knolls, and tops in almost every conceivable variety 
of shape and form, indicating a theatre of vast physical 
changes. A greenish haze hung on this occasion as a filmy 
veil about the lower parts of the range, while fleecy cloudlets 
of cumulus floated over the knolls as I had lately beheld 
them at Ben Nevis. Here again had weathering agencies 
carved a mountain chain unlike anything I had seen before, 
and I gazed at its rugged pinnacles with deep fascination.
