239 * the cnrioeity of our readers by any further account of it.* CHOLULA. Cholula, though a little out of the main road to Mexico, was visited both by Mr Bullock and the American Traveller. The road from Puebla hes over a fertile plain, partly cultivated with wheat, rye, barley, the potato, and the agave, partly laid out as meadow land. To the north of the rgad are seen the rugged and barren rocks of the Cordillera of the Si&rre Malinche^ and in the south, the volcanic nevados of Puebla tower ...above a chain of dark moun- tains which stretch along their base. Near these mountains^ stands Cholula; and to the east of the city, on the road from Puebla, is the femous pyramid or teocalli, which is larger, and is said to have been deemed more holy, than any other temple in Mexico. At a distance, the appearance which it now assumes, is that of a natural conical hill, wooded, and crowned with a small church; but, as the traveller approaches it, its pyramidal form becomes distinguishable, together with the four stories into which it is shaped, although covered with vegetation^ the prickly pear, the nopal, and the cypress.
