 in delineating the niagnilicent planis of ihose mountains. 

 üuring his residence liiere severat artists were kept 

 constantly at work under Mr. Cathcarl's and Dr. Ilooker's

 also at his own e.xpense,; in conjunction wilh Dr. 

 llooker, a very large seleclion of Ihese, in Ihe form 

 of the üSikkim Rhododendrons", but his lamenled deatli
