westward through the fertile Pratigau to join the Ehine between 

 Chur and Ragaz. Near the village of Klosters, where the narrower 

 valley of its mountain course widens into the ampler trough of the 

 Pratigau, it receives two tributaries. From the north flows into it 

 the Schlappina, rising behind the rugged mass of the Eastern 

 Ehatikon ; on the south opens a side valley, which, when followed 

 up, is found to lead to the saddle that now closes the northern end 

 of the famous ' valley ' of Davos. The stream which apparently 



aecart£//ia ^ Pea/, //ci/n^ 



descends from this saddle proves to be formed by the union of two, 

 one fronii the east and one from the west,^ but there is none flowing 

 directly from the broad pine-clad divide between Wolfgang and the 

 Drusatch Alp. On the south side of this curious ' Kulm ' lies the 

 deep Davoser See, and into the long, almost level alluvial area 

 which succeeds it flow three rivers — the Fluela, the Dischma, and 

 the Sertig. The Fluela and the Dischma enter near together below 

 the south end of the lake, and form, with the insignificant outflow 



^ The streams are the Monchalpbach and the Stiitzbach ; the result of their 

 confluence I hare called the Lareterbach, but find that on some maps it is called the 

 Stiitzbach down to Klosters.
