of St. Paul’s which we see before us in the low lying ground, and affords a superb view over the whole Ueberetsch, the large basin-valley of Botzen-Gries and 36 castles, which are visible from High-Eppan. The train crosses the high road, which leads from Sigmundskron to Girlan, and runs through a long tunnel, after which by looking back, we enjoy a beautiful view of Sigmundskron Castle, the valley of the Adige and the Meran Mountains which appear to end the valley in the North-West. Then the

chapel, is to be seen in a westerly direction, and St. Valentine’s, a plain building of modern times, stands on the mount further to the left. Eppan-Girlan is the next Station, for the village of St. Michael in the Parish of Eppan on the right, and the village of Girlan on the left, a little farther to the South-East. Opposite the station, we lind the High Eppan Grand Hotel. The village of St. Michael contains the following Inns: Eppaner Hof; Sonne; Rossi; Tranbe Englar and Gandegg Castles, both

owned by the Count of Khuen, are beautifully situated to the right on the mountains. The Mendel High Road, which appears like a long line, extends on the upper part ol the slope. High Eppan Castle.

In a westerly direction, we notice below the gigantic Gantkofel the lofty ruins of High-Eppan Castle (2067 ft.), situated on a spur in the centre of the mountain-range. The castle dates from the Longobard Epoch, at which time it was called “Cas tellum Appianum". Later on, it was owned by a col lateral line of the Guelph House.

to be founded. By the end of the tenth century three of these ruling families began to take root in Tyrol. They were the Counts of Eppan, Tyrol, and Andechs. These with the three church-lords of the Sees of Trent, Brixen, and Chur (Coire) divided the whole country between them. Of the origin of these three dynasties very little indeed is known. The Eppans were, it is believed, descendants of Ethico, a natural son of the Guelph Duke of Bavaria, who had been subjugated by the emperor Conrad and divested

of certain lands with which the Brixen See had been aggrandised. For centuries this was a cause for strife and bloodshed between the Bppans and the Bishops of Brixen. It -.The counts of Eppan called themselves when they first appear in the history of the country, Counts of Piano, and indeed welcome across them as such as late as 1078-— more than half a century before the first occurrence of the name " Tyrol "—though we know” that^ Ethico

Brixen and Trient received from the family of Stauffen, the right of coinage from the mines, with the exception of those belonging to the territories of the Counts

of Eppan and Tyrol. Ancient coins are still extant of both these ecclesiastical cities, as well as of thè standard coinage of the Vintschgau, and of the celebrated mint of Meran, thè money of which formed thè source of much usurious trafile on the part of the Florentines and Siennese. In later times the amount of coinage not proving sufficient for the mereased demands, a mint of more importance was established at Hall, which attaiiied so much celebrity, that the Philips of Spain obtained from thence
