lights at the head of the page, to warn the
reader when he is coming near the rocks.
In the drawings and sections from which
the engravings and cuts were made, it was
my principal aim to preserve a faithful
outline of the objects represented : the
views of Château Duing and the evaporat-
ing-liouse, near Moutiers, were taken by
Mrs. B. ; the section of the strata near
Bex, is copied from one by Monsieur Charpentier.
