Text Appearing Before Image:
ween Menaggio and Varenna it is nearly21/2 M. broad; and its greatest depth is 1340. At Bellagio (p. 472)the lake divides into two arms, the Lake of Como (W.) and that ofLecco (E.). The Adda falls into the lake at the N. end, and emergesfrom it again at Lecco. Numerous towns and villages, and many gay villas, of the Milanesearistocracy, with luxuriant gardens and vineyards, are scattered along thebanks of the lake, and above these are groves of chestnuts and walnutsof brilliant green, contrasting strongly with the dull-gray tint of the olive.The variegated and fragrant oleanders add a great charm to summer. Thelaurel grows wild. We also note beautiful saxifrages and orchids, therare Ceterach Maranthse, the maiden hair (Adianthum Capillus Veneris),and other ferns. The mountains rise to 7400. The scenery resembles thatof a vast river, the banks on both sides being near. The lake is wellstocked with fish, such as the palatable little ^Agoni, and trout CTrote),which run as high as 20 lbs.
