I have also seen it near Zermatt, especially in the Zmutt-thal, in Dauphine", on the south side of the Dent Parassee* in the Maurienne, about the Arnpezzo Pass, and indeed generally throughout the Dolomite districts. Tschudi states that it occurs sparingly in the mountains about the west of the Diablerets, (where I have also seen it), in the Gentel-thal and Engstelen- 214 THE ALPINE REGIONS. thai, near the Grimsel, and in two or three spots in the Central Oberland. A well-grown arolla is from 5...0 to 80 feet high; the circumference of the trunk a little above the ground being a dozen feet or so. The cone contains some 20 or 30 little nuts with a white kernel, which has a pleasant taste, resembling that of an almond, but slightly resinous. The wood is said to be very durable; in the Grodner-thal it is worked up into toys and ornaments. Among the brushwood may be named a species of dwarf alder (Alnus viridis), which is exceedingly abundant, clothing the mountain sides up to a height of at least 6000 feet, and not restricted to any particular district.
