Catanzaro spoke with contempt of Cotrone.

Happily I made no medical acquaintance in the hill town; but I should have liked to discuss with one of these gentlemen the view of their climate held by Dr.Sculco.
In the ages that followed upon the fall of Rome, perpetual danger drove the sea-coast population of Calabria inland and to the heights.

Our own day beholds a counter movement; the shore line of railway will create new towns on the old deserted sites.

Such a settlement is the Marina of Catanzaro, a little port at the mouth of a wide valley, along which runs a line to Catanzaro itself, or rather to the foot of the great hill on which the town is situated.

The sun was setting when I alighted at the Marina, and as I waited for the branch train my eyes feasted upon a glory of colour which made me forget aching weariness.
