s present a curious appearance of ridges, sometimes
looking like walls. The country continues the same.

Halted opposite Yowa.

_June 1st_.--A low range of hillocks here occurs on the left bank, and
as in other places, consisting of sandstone with stunted and scanty
vegetation.

Tselow is a large place on the left bank, the river is here much spread
out, with large sand banks. The hills on the right bank present the same
features; passed Pukangnai, a large village on the left bank. Passed
Pukkoko, Pagam, Tselow, etc., the hills about this last place abound with
Prionites. Strong wind prevails.

_June 2nd_.--Yeanangeown 10 A.M. The country continues exactly similar
to that already observed--hillocks intersected by ravines, loose
sandstone, very barren in appearance. Vegetation is the same, but more
stunted; fossil wood is common, especially in the bottom of ravines.
{147} Of fossils very few were seen, but more are to be procured by
digging. The most common trees are Zizyphus, Acacia, and a Capparis: the
most common grass Aristida. Arrived at Yeanangeown, a busy place judging
from the number of boats.

Wind less strong. At 2 P.M. stopped at Wengma-thoat, where Zizyphus is
extremely common. Euphorbia seems rather disappearing.

The plants met with at the halting place six miles above Yeanang, were
Euphorbia, Olax, Zizyphus, Mimosa, Carissa, Ximenia, Prionites,
Calotropis, Gymnema, Capparis pandurata et altera species arborea,
Murraya rare, Gossypium frutex 6-8-petal, Xanthophyllum blue, petiolis
alatis of Tagoung, Sidae sp. On the right bank flat churs continue
covered with a small Saccharum. Vegetation more abundant and greener
than before. Ficus again occurs and Stravadium occasionally.

Passed 5 P.M. Memboo at a large village on right bank, containing perhaps
200 houses. The river below this runs between two ranges of low hills,
similar in every respect to those already passed. A Kukkeen woman was
observed, who appeared to have a blue face, looking perfectly frightful.

_June 3rd_.--Maguay. Reached this place at 8 P.M. It is on the left
bank. It is a place of some importance. Many boats lying in the stream.
The country, is of the same dry, arid description: the banks of the river
are however lower than previously observed.

Passed Esthaiya, a small village on the right bank, at 6 A.M. Adelia
nereifolia continues common in some places.

Dhebalar, Meemgoon, two villages nearly opposite, ne
