About This Book

The narrative records a scientific travel account across Morocco and the High Atlas, blending descriptive travelogue with detailed botanical and geological observation. It follows progress through coastal towns, mountain valleys and cultivated gardens, noting climate, vegetation zones, species collected, and changes in landscape while describing encounters with local authorities, nomadic groups and urban communities. Recurrent practical difficulties of travel, including negotiation, camping and ascent into snow, are recounted alongside notes on human geography. An appendix and supplemental essays compile geological sketches and botanical lists derived from the expedition’s collections.
