In a tour, which La Rochefort made in the summer of among the most delightful scenes, of which this island can boast, niany were the ideal resemblances, he fancied. This river reminded him of the Arno, or the Brenta this mountain appeared to exhibit all the beauties of the Pyrenees, or the Apennines; that wood recalled to his memory the groves, which decorate the classic shores of the Po and the Mincio this hamlet resembled that, of which Pliny gives so beautiful a description; and that villa Scipio's seat on the banks of the Tiber.

Is formed like a machine to catch food. When an insect, therefore, settles upon its glands, the tender parts become irritated; the 'two labs rise 'up, grasp the insect, and crush it to death. The sensitive plant shrinks back and folds its leaves upon being touched, afier the manner of a snail; and a species of the hedysarum of Bengal has its leaves during the day in continual motion; on the approach of night these leaves sink from their erect posture and seem to repose. Nor is this motion confined to the time of being in full perfection; for if a' branch is cut of and placed in water, the leaves will, for the space of an entire day, continue the same motion.
