, Stretching east-ward. Then come thè gigantic masses of thè Platt Kogel and Lang Kofel ; thè first, slieed off, as thè malice of a Titan, at a single hlow ; thè second, an array of splintered spires, ashy-tinted or pale yellow. A con- fusion of cindery peaks and precipices succeed, hearing northward ; a green elevation of thè Seisser itself hides more of them from view, as it has already hidden thè Oertler and bis fellows. But a sudden dip shows a portion . of thè Norie chain, clear, this day, with its

delicate snows. The Lang Kofel nndoubtedly centres in itself thè chief interest of thè view. 4 Murray ’ gives a slight outline of this mountain, as seen edgeways from thè Gröden Thal. There its aspect is more remarkable, but its construction and vast proporfcions are better appredated from thè Seisser Alp. Yet it is vast more as a rock than a mountain. It is a eitadel of thè giants, walled, bastioned, batti e- mented, turreted, all in fit proportion ; conceived in this light, it will not disappoint

It is, therefore, mach to he regretted that Bernardi small inn offers but one tolerable bedroom, and cannot raise either a cutlet or a potatoe for dinner. That remained tke diffi- culty ; fowls and lettuce were

towards thè Marmolata, and I explored thè bases of some extraordinary Dolomites overhanging Campitello, on the north. The Marmolata is best seen from the gorge of the Duron Thal, and by far the most striking effect about Campitello is due to these crags of Dolomites, which are, in fact, por- tions of the Lang Kofel. Their really vast proportions are concealed by an intervening bill, but nothing can be more sìngular tlia.11 their appearance, and in certain lights, such as snnset or moonlight, they look

They say at Corfara that this Colfosco Col is the most dangerous of all the Dolomite passes, and that the wind in winter rages up here with such fury that it drives the snow and sleet in great clouds whieh bury and suffocate men and cattle in their progress. There is also no defined path, and the bog is everywhere treacherous. And now, thè summit reached and passed, the Lang Kofel rises on the left above woods and hill tops—a vast, solitary tower with many

villages. The Sella is gradually left behind. The Lang Kofel becomes more lofty and imposing. The Platt Kofel, like a half-dome,

This Sella Plateau Stands between thè heads of thè Fassa, Groden, and Gader valleys, a wildemess in itself, and, ex- cepting the Guerdenazza, differs from most other Dolo mites, showing neither pinnacles nor towers, but long tenace ridges, amazing bastions, and flattish cones rising np out of its interior. We learnt to regard this mountain with great respect, though thè pretensione of its neighbours —the Schiern, Marmolata, Lang Kofel, and

Even they are reduced to thè minimum of effect, for they now exhibit neither the majesty and loftiness of their aspect from. the Seisser Alp, nor their weird character as seen peeping over at Campifcello. On the left, rocks formed of volcanic ash, clothed in forest, rise up steeply, continuing as far as Pozza, at the entrance to the Monzoni Thal, and eompletely shut out all distant view

Looking back from this higher ground, we get a fine view over the Monte Latemar (8,983 feet) and its far-reaching fir-forests ; while the wild peaks of the Rosengarten and Lang Kofel carne into sight above the lower slopes of Costa lunga. And now, in rieh contrast to the pallid Dolomites soaring high in the distance

But (apart from the view it commands of its three nearest neighbours, the Lang Kofel, Platt Kofel, and Schiern) the great sight of the Seisser Alp is—the Seisser Alp. Imagine an American prairie lifted up bodily upon a plateau from 5,500 to 6,000 feet in height —imagine a waving sea of deep grass taking the broad flood of the summer sunshine and the floating shadows of the clouds—realise how this upper world of pasture feeds from thirteen to fifteen hundred head of horned cattle ; contains
