But, on descending to Clermont, we found our- selves suddenly in a warm southern climate, sur- rounded by vineyards ; such is the effect of ele- vation on the temperature. Thus, at Perpignan, harvest ended in July : at Mont Louis, forty miles south west, barley was green, without the least appearance of ripening, on the 26th of August! Sept. 9. Clermont is a well built and pleasant town, containing 30, 000 inhabitants. If is situ- ated in one of the most fertile districts of France, a deep haze...l mold on a basis of soft limestone. It is cropped every year, mostly with wheat ; yet it appears to be clean and in high condition, and the stubbles denote excellent crops. On this rich land, I was informed that turnips are often sown after wheat, and that they grow large enough to draw for cattle. As August had passed this year without a shower, I imagine they had entirely failed ; nothing like a turnip field was to be seen through the whole country, nor in any part of France from our landing to this place.
