leys between
these, intersected with small water-courses, three species of Juncus, a
curious Umbellifera fistulosa, and Mentha verticillata, occur. Another
Hypericum is likewise found in lately cleared places.

Some cultivation occurs about the place on the slopes of hills, chiefly
of a Digitaria, sown broadcast, and tied up in bundles when nearly ripe;
together with Glycine tuberosa, and Coix Lacryme.

To the eastward the hills become more rocky, affording little vegetation,
the chief plant is an Othonnoidea; another Herminioidea, and a
Habenariod, both out of flower, may be found, the former on hills, the
latter in low places; a tall Campanula was among the new plants, and an
Umbellifera with curious foliage.

The height of this ridge is 5,768 feet, the temperature being 74 degrees,
and water boiling at 201.75 degrees.

Took the elevation of Moflong bungalow. Temperature of the air 65
degrees; water boiled at 202.25 degrees; this gives 5,410 feet.

There are several high rounded hills about this place, (one to the south
of the Boga Panee,) the generality of which are more elevated than those
on the northern side; the most conspicuous is the hill near Moleem, the
north face of which is wooded, and which is at least 1,000 feet above
Moflong.

8 P.M. Temperature 58.5 degrees. 5 P.M. 65 degrees.

_October 9th_.--Rain as usual in the morning. Thermometer at 7 A.M.,
58.5 degrees.

_October 10th_.--A fine bracing cold morning, with the thermometer at
53.5 degrees. 7 A.M. left for Myrung. The march to Syung is
uninteresting, passing over precisely the same country as that about
Moflong, with vegetation much the same. A tall Carduaceous tree with
pink flowers was found in the swampy bottoms of the valleys. About
Syung, a seneciois tree foliis angustissimus. It is about this place
that the sides of the ravines become clothed with forest, and from this
northward, Pines increase in abundance. Anthistiria speculis
villosissimis continues here and there; a good deal of cultivation passed
on the road, especially under Syung to the south, where there is a large
valley. The chief cultivation appears to be Coix, Glycine, and some
rice, but the produce seemed very small. At the foot of Syung on the
north side, large tufts of Juncus occur, and on the first ascent another
species of Valeriana foliis radicalibus reniformi cordatus occurs. Urena
lobale was noticed as high as 5,300 feet. Between Syung and Myrung,
