with this article; between Brossot and Kadi- 
langu several hills descend towards the South, 
but the principal central ridges preserve a dis- 
tance, varying from 10 to 15 miles, from the 
shore. The soil which covers this low tract is 
a mixcure of clay and sand in various proportions; 
near the central range it consists chiefly of the 
former, and along the shoie ofthe latter. Through 
the whole extent the shore is bounded by one or 
moreranges of low sand hills. From the river 
Bogo-wonto to the peninsula of Karang-bollong, 
this tract is annually inundated during the rainy 
season, by the waters brought down from the 
central ranges by the various branches of the ri- 
vers above mentioned, in the Geographical des- 
cription. Theintercourse between the different 
villages is now carried on chiefly by means of 
canoes or small boats; in the vicinity of shore 
the traveller passes conveniently over the more- 
culture of rice is commenced, and most parts 
afford buta single annualcrop. I have attempt- 
ed to shew on the Map, the points at which 
the projections from the central ranges descend 
most towards the shore, and those which afford 
the broadest plain for cultivation. Only in few 
situations solitary fragments of Basaltes are 
observed, with rounded angles; the places where 
I passed the rivers of Progo and Bogowonto 
were at a considerable distance from the cen- 
tral ranges, but the beds were filled with vol- 
canic stones carried down by the streamst. 
Some peculiarities ofthe hills which compose 
the peninsula of Karang-bollong have already 
been mentioned in the journal: their direction is
