November t*ieir &°m weeds. The ground is, indeed, by this- U v V means, in both cafes, ftripped quite bare; but merely in order that it may fhortly afterwards appear in a much more: beautiful drefs, being, in this cafe; decked.with many kinds > o f annual graffes, herbs, and fuperb lilies; which, had. been choaked up before by llirubs and perennial plants. Thefe laft, moreover, which, throughout the whole of the preceding year, were hard, dry, withered, and half dead, of a pale yellow colour, harfh, and unfit for fodder, have now an opportunity of fpringing up again, fo as: to produce with their young fhoots and leaves, paftures adorned with a delightful verdure for the ufeof the cattle arid game. The weather in this month was warmer than in any of the preceding, efpecially towards the conclufion of it, when we quitted Lange-kloof, and Krotnme-rivier, and came to the plains ¡by the fea-iide. The thermometer generally rofe at about eight o’clock in the morning from 65 to 70 in the ihade, and in the ihade at noon it was fometimes as high as 80. The rainy days were the n t h , 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, and- 26th; fometimes with a fouth-eaft, and at other times with a fouth-wefterly wind. On the remaining days, which were fine and free from rain, the north-weft and weft winds almoft always prevailed. E n d o f t h e F i r s t V o l u m e , S. W om a n s /w a d O rn a m en t. 1.
