3. Simla. 



We have applied the name (already well known to botanists) 

 of Simla to the whole district west of the Tons and east of 

 the Satlej, including Basehir, Sirmur^ and numerous petty 

 states. It is composed principally of ranges given off from 

 the rapidly declining Cis-Satlej branch of the Himalaya chain^ 

 which sweeps to the southward and westward, between the 

 valleys of the Satlej and Tons. The axis of this chain, at the 

 northern boundary of Simla, separates that province from 

 Kunawar, and is crossed by the Burenda and Shatul passes, 

 which being respectively 15,179 and 15,560 feet, indicate an 

 elevation of the axis scarcely lower than in Garhwal. 



The plains at the foot of the Simla hills attain 1000 feet 

 elevation, and the outer ranges are lower than those of Garh- 

 wal and Kumaon. Rupar, close to the Satlej amongst the 

 outer hills, is under 1000 feet ; Sabathu, a little further in, is 

 4200; Kassowlee 6500. 



At Simla, Avliich is situated on the main (Cis-Satlej) chain,
