still unsettled ; start at 10, a steep and rugged descent in great part to 

 Kotdwara, a chowkee and thana, formerly a stockade with regular gate. 

 The Dunda Mundee stream flows here. Kotdwara is on the very first 

 little rise from the plains, a four hours' march. 



Rocks the whole way, sandstone with the red and green clay found 

 at Nahun. The uniformity of the sandstone types here is unusual. 

 Hurdwar is by far the most fertile place I have seen, and from the 

 Bheem Gora Pass, a very fine suite may be collected. 9 p. m. Baro- 

 meter 28. 66, 66.49, 48. 



During the night rain. They say no road through then ills from 

 here by the Patlee Doon. It breaks off near Dunda Mundee.

 was almost all wet, and we had been marching rather severely, I made
