 road now winding north-west descends gently for half a mile, then in 

 forest over a level surface, west one mile ; crosses a couple of small 

 streams flowing to the east, and here leaves the forest ; the ascent 

 again commences winding round on the eastern brow of hills, in a 

 general north-west direction in a deep valley, along a branch of the 

 Kaunday river, close on the right, pouring down in cascades, and 

 after crossing several small streams gains the cultivated slopes, 

 passing the villages of Jackatalla and Jackanery on the left, to the 

 bungalow Urravani on the right, from thence the ascent steep, and

 of laden cattle, being very rugged and rocky, the road from the above 

 place waving over dry grain fields, and some low jungle for one and a 

 half miles to the base of the ridge, which it commences to ascend 

 and pi"oceeds winding westerly on the summit, has a gentle descent 

 to Urracode in a small valley, cultivated with plantain, jack, and 

 other fruit trees, thence it descends to a large stream ascending very 

 steep winds over the southern brow of the Rungasawmy Hill, thence 

 down a valley crossing another steep ridge, ascends a slope 

 winding gently. Daynaad on the left, descends a small rugged pass to 

 a temporary bungalow on the right, again ascends gently to the 

 summit of a ridge, winding round the west brow of a hill, descends 

 northerly into an open valley between low hills for about a mile and 

 a half, descends westerly another small pass to Nedancolum, a fine 

 village on the right, from thence over low plain ridges crossing two 

 large streams in swamp, ascends another ridge and descends by a 

 zigzag rugged pass to a large stream north-west of Cuppanatharay, 

 then up the low brow of a low hill, gently ascends through low 

 jungle, and crossing another small stream rises up to Dimhatty 

 being on the whole a distance of 20 miles 7 furlongs.
