[G] Eagles are not uncommon in the Pyrenees. The writer noticed a large
bird in the Pass of Velate which he took to be an eagle, but owing to
the failing light it was impossible to be certain.
[H] Joanne gives the date 1765, but it is incorrect.
[I] The people in the neighbourhood of Albi were known as the
Albigenses. They were of superior intelligence and education, and
denounced the vices of the priesthood, the sacrifice of the Mass,
Purgatory, and image-worship, and were therefore regarded as heretics.
[J] This is mentioned by Hare and Baedeker, but the writer has not seen
it.
[K] The author would refer the reader to his volume ‘Along the Rivieras
of France and Italy’ (Dent).
[L] 20 fr. Motor Union, 25 fr. Royal Automobile Club.
