TERAI 



Chap. XVII. 



From Khersiong to Dorjiling, gneiss is the only rock, 

 and is often decomposed into clay -beds, 20 feet deep, in 

 which the narrow, often zigzag folia of qnartz remain quite 

 entire and undisturbed, whilst every trace of the foliation 

 of the softer mineral is lost. 



At Pacheem, Dorjiling weather, with fog and drizzle, 

 commenced, and continued for two days : we reached 

 Dorjiling on the 24th of March, and found that the hail 

 which had fallen on the 20th was still lying in great masses 

 of crumbling ice in sheltered spots. The fall had done 

 great damage to the gardens, and Dr. Campbell's tea-plants 

 were cut to pieces.
