now very slow; in the westward a range is per- 
ceived, which runs off, in a South-west direction, 
towards the Bay of Talachap. After crossing 
the river near its discharge, ! proceeded nearly 
westward through a tract which is low and 
marshy: several bays end inlets introduce the 
water of the ocean, and it is covered abundantly 
with the common marine plants, viz: Rizopho- 
rae, Nipa, Hernandia, Tacca, 
This tract extends in the same direction to the 
district of Cheribon: several branches of the 
grand central ranges run here towards the shore, 
nearly from North to South, directing the 
course of the Rivers of Juruk-legg', Chi- 
brum, &c. as they arrive in the lower alluvial 
districts they send off many transverse branches, 
which serve as canals to introduce thesea water 
through this whole tract, and give that disposi- 
tion to the soil which is favourable to the pro- 
duction of the marine plants above mentioned. 
The Island called by the natives Nuso-Lram- 
bang, extending from about one mile eastward of 
Talachap to the discharge of the river Chi- 
pakkat, is separated only by a narrow strait from 
the low tract of the opposite Island. This 
strait communicates in the west with an exten- 
sive Bay denominated Segoro-Anakan, and af-: 
fords a discharge to the water accumuloted by 
the Rivers of Juruk-leggi, Chi-brum, &c. . 
Nuso-Brambang rises in this part almost pre- - 
cipitously from the Ocean: its constitution is of 
a mixed nature, bearing great resemblance to 
the hills which compose the central. ranges
