_February 17th_.--Snow has fallen during the night all around, but not
within 1,000 feet of us: this will make the snow line here about 7,300
feet, the village being 6,335 _supra marem_. Mildness of climate would
appear to be indicated by the abundance of rice cultivation round this
place, chiefly, however, about 1,000 feet below. In every direction
ranges of 9 to 12,000 feet are visible: villages are very common,
especially so in a hollow on the western side of the ravine of the
Kooree, in which I counted sixteen or eighteen; one containing between
thirty and forty houses. The space alluded to is one sheet of
cultivation, chiefly rice and wheat. Linge itself is an ordinarily sized
village, containing about twelve houses. The wooded tracts cease for the
most part, about 1,000 feet above this. The face of the country, where
uncultivated, being clothed with harsh Andropogoneous grasses, Salix
pendula, Thuja pendula, Pyrus malus, Erythrina, Quercus, Juncus effusus,
Porana of Churra, Plantago, Barleria, Polygonium rheoides, Stellaria

Smithea occurs also.

_February 18th_.--Our march commenced by a steep descent on the south
face of the hill, the coolies proceeding by a more direct one to the
north, but which was said to be difficult. We continued descending in a
westerly direction, until we came in sight of the Kooree river which
flows along the ravine, and which is a large stream, one-third less than
the Monass. We then turned to the north following the river, the path
running up, about 800 feet above it. We then came to another ravine, and
descended to the torrent, which we crossed by a rude wooden bridge: then
followed again the Kooree, to the bed of which we descen
