to be of a benevolent disposition. At noon we arrived 
at Condoalla, majestically situated in a lofty wood, and 
surrounded by plantations of Pisang. The ..... tree 
foltis terminal. pennat. grew here in abundance. Its fruit 
was not yet ripe. I observed flower-buds of the shrub 
Echinophora, which we saw in the district of Kullu. In 
returning, | ascended the top of the high Madungo Mongo. 
The rock in the valley consists chiefly of mica-slate, 
stretching as usual towards N. KE. and inclining under an 
angle of forty-five degrees towards N. W. Undermost in the 
valley, the slate is thickly mixed with a granular feldspar 
and hornblende. The top part consists of a very loose 
mica. The mountain here inclined gently in a long-ex-

valley, which from my station appeared very flat. The 
river was seen behind in its whole course, forming several 
larger islands in the line of Inga and my station. The 
country behind rises into a platform of uniform elevation 
with the plain on which Inga is situated. ‘The summits of 
the hills are somewhat higher in the back-ground. Farther 
sull, at the extremity of the view, the river runs round an 
eminence, but afterwards probably turns somewhat more 
to the northward, where the country is considerably 
lower. No eminence appeared more elevated than the 
summits of the hills bounded by the horizon. The general 
direction of the valleys and the plains is nearly N. and S.

had previously brought down with my musket. I shot
