e, Funaria and Weissia Templetonia
common, Sphaeropterus! Quercus ilecifolia, Abies pendula, Rhododendron
arboreum, majus! Dalibarda, Rubus, Ilex dipyrena! Rhododendron undulatum!

At 8,400 feet, the road running along, and above a ravine, rocky ground
to the right, Eurya acuminata! Composita penduliflora. Thibaudia
rotundifolia, and in a swampy sward a small dwarfed very narrow-leaved
bamboo, Primula Stuartii, Gnaphalium densiflorum, Swertia
monocotyledonea, Prunella in the woods, Salix lanata, and Panax
rhododendrifolia.

Just above this, 8,500 feet, the first Abies cedroides appeared, soon
becoming very common, and extending up to 9,500 feet, its habit is like
that of a cedar, and it is a tall handsome tree, Rubia* cordifolia!
Geranium scandens, Baptisioides.

Crossing a nullah, we commenced a steep ascent, Thibaudacae rotundifolia,
Abies cedroides, Lomaria of Khegumpa, Crawfurdia speciosa, Andropogon,
Gaultheria nummulacifol. Ilex, Epibolium Vaccinium cyaneum! Here a
sward commenced with vegetation as before, the summit of this ascent was
9,050 feet. Here Ilex, Daphne papyracae, Rhododendron, Scleria, Lomaria
of Khegumpa! Primula pulcherrima! Spiraea bella, Gnaphalium trivenium,
Rubus moluccanus, Thibaudia, Ericinea orbiculens, Spiraea decomposita,
Gaultheria, nummulariod., Scutellaria prunella, Gaultheria flexuosa,
Scandent composita, Cerastium bacciferum. The trees covered with mosses,
Neckerae, Dicranum, Daltoniae, Abies pendula ceased, its limits visible
below. Hence the ascent was gradual at first: snow became heavy at 9,100
feet. Hemiphragma, Rhododendron abundant.

At 9,500 feet, much the same vegetation, Abies densa commenced, cedroides
ceased. Woods entirely of A. densa, with a small baccate-like deciduous
leaved tree. Hydrangea! Spiraeacea! Urticeae?! Pedicularis elatior.

At 10,000 feet, some trees all covered with frost; snow very heavy, quite
crisp, Juncus niveus, Cerastium inflatum! bamboos, other plants of 9,500
feet, continue. Old Cretins!

At 11,270 feet, thermometer 39 degrees, the same trees, scarcely any
thing but Abies, Arenoid, Dicranum macrocarpus, Orthotrichum, Lichen
pendulum atratum.

Thence we descended a little, soon to re-ascend.

At the same elevation Parnassia, Epilobium monus, Gnaphalium densiflor.,
Vaccinium pumilum, Gentiana, Polygonum(?)

At 11,000 feet, icicles were common, and snow, very heavy. Woods of some
Abies, a species of rose very abundant, a shrub of
