77 beheld at Caracas almost under the same an-, gles of elevation as the Peak of Teneriffe at the port of Orotava. The first half of the mountain is covered with short grass ; then succeeds the zone of ever-green trees, which reflects a purple light at the season when the befaria, the alpine rose tree of equinoctial America, is in blossom. The rocky masses rise above this zone in the form of woody domes. Destitute of vegetation, they increase by the nakedness of their surface the apparent heigh...t of a mountain, which in temperate Europe would scarcely enter on the limit of perpetual snows. The cultivated region of the valley, and the gay fields of Chacao, Petare, and La Vega, form an agreeable contrast to the impos- ing aspect of the Silla, and the great heavings- of the ground on the north of the town. The climate of Caracas has often been called a perpetual spring. This is found every-where half-way up the Cordilleras of equinoctial Ame- rica between four hundred and nine hundred toises of elevation, unless the great breadth of the valley, joined to an arid soil, causes an ex- traordinary intensity* of radiant caloric.
