of summits, which in truth give it the appearance of a saw; so

that there is no one who would not at first sight, especially

viewing it in front, from the ramparts of Milan that face the

north, at once distinguish it in all that extensive range from

other mountains of less name and more ordinary form. The bank,

for a considerable distance, rises with a gentle and continual

ascent, then breaks into hills and hollows, rugged or level land,

according to the formation of the mountain rocks, and the action

of the floods. Its extreme border, intersected by the mountain

torrents, is composed almost entirely of sand and pebbles; the

other parts of fields and vineyards, scattered farms, country

seats, and villages, with here and there a wood which extends up

the mountain side.
