. When the clouds pass over the surface of the plain, they have all the effect of a gentle rain. A brook runs through the middle of it, which is broad but shallow, has a sandy bottom, and freezes in the winter….On this elevated plain there are small trees, with a broom, furze, a kind of wild oat, and fern, which grows to the height of a shrub. There are also some curious birds, which never descend to the sea-side, and who are so little accustomed to, or alarmed at, the sight of man, that they suffer themselves to be killed by the stroke of a walking stick. It often rains on the sides of the mountains, while this predominating plain is enlivened with the finest weather.
