52 From Garrah to Peepree River. [No. 133. 



on that side being itself a little raised above the plain. Its appearance 

 is somewhat of this description ; road good, but a little stony ; water 

 is said to be procurable at Bumbhora. 



Three miles, and five furlongs.. — Milk bush ends here. 



Four miles and one furlong. — Pass some low hills and a little 

 tamerisk jungle, open sandy plain on the left, road excellent; two 

 ruins on the plain to the left. 



Five miles and four furlongs — Road over a firm sandy desert, 

 jungle on the right, dry bed of a river in which water is said to be 

 procurable by digging. 



Five miles and five furlongs.— Pools of salt water on the right, 

 road along the edge of undulating ground covered with milk bush. 



Six miles. — Road passes over some undulating ground scattered with 

 milk bush and tamarisk, but is hard and good ; saltwater pools to 

 the right. 



Six miles and four furlongs. — Low undulating hills upon right of 

 road, and a long narrow patch of swampy looking ground on the left 

 covered with long grass; road good, low jungle on the left. 



Nine miles and four furlongs. — Wattanjee Landhee. — The road up 

 to this runs along what has the appearance of having been a sea beach ; 

 the country to the left being an open plain as far as the eye can reach, 

 covered in some places by low jungle, and on the right, low hills 

 which sink down abruptly to the plain ; the road is in general excel-

 mouths of rivers; of these there are four or five, from 100 to 250 

 yards across. Wattanjee Landhee is situated in an opening of this 

 kind. The caravanserai is in good repair, and there is a well of good 

 water, ten feet deep and nine in diameter, with two feet of water. It 

 is drawn by a wheel, and there is a small garden. On leaving 

 Landhee, the road crosses some heavy sandy ground, but is afterwards 

 very good. 



Twelve miles and one furlong. — Garrah creek on left of the road about 

 eighty yards across, with apparently deep water, is very winding in its 

 course. The road up to this runs across two bays, the hills receding 

 a little, about a quarter of a mile, in the centre of each, in the last they
