Excursions.

 annual hunting party a foon as the

 the beginning of December ; and he flays 

 out till the heats, about the beginning of 

 March, force him back again. During this 

 time, he generally makes a circuit of coun- 

 try from four to fix hundred miles, always 

 bending his courfe towards the fkirts of the 

 Northern Mountains, where the country^ 

 being wild and uncultivated, is the moft 

 proper for game. 



When he marches, he takes with him, 

 not only his houfehold and Zenana *, but all 

 his Court, and a great part of the inhabi-
