596 Addendum to Capt. MadderCs Notes. 



3. The string of his expanded how, charged with arrows and drawn 

 to the extremity of the shoulder, hursteth the circle's centre. Of 

 spacious brow, propitious distinction, and surpassing beauty, he is the 

 image of the moon with an undiminished countenance. Ananta 

 Verma to the end! Of form like Smara* in existence, he is seen with 

 the constant and aifectionate, standing with their tender and fascinated 

 eyes constantly fixed upon him. 



4. From the machine his bow, reproacher of the crying /woraraf 

 bent to the extreme he is endued with force ; from his expanded virtue 

 he is a provoker ; by his good conduct his renown reacheth to afar ; 

 he is a hero by whose unerring steeds the elephant is disturbed, and a 

 youth who is the seat of sorrow to the women of his foes. He is the 

 director, and his name is Ananta, J 



Addendum to Capt. E. Madden' s Notes of an excursion to the Pind?'ee 



Glacier. 



The subjoined note which came to hand some time after Capt. 

 Madden' s interesting article had been printed, should have appeared at 

 foot of page 246. Speaking of the Thakil palm, Chamcerops Martiana, 

 Capt. Madden adds, — 



" This Palm reaches the height of 30 feet, and is very abundant on the 

 N. W. side of the Thakil mountain, where it flourishes from 6000 to about 

 7800 feet, along with Oaks, Maples, Rhododendrons, Yew, and Primula denti- 

 culata. I have also been informed that there are two tall specimens on the 

 top of a mountain between Sutralee and Bagesur, to the right of the road, 

 about three miles from the former place. Trewia nudiflora (" Toomree,") 

 is found in the Turrai as far to the N. W. as Jounlasal, half way between 

 Bhumouree and Burmdeo : to which point also reaches a semi-scandent 

 Dalbergia, with pinnate leaves, apparently unknown further north, but very 

 common towards Burmdeo. In the passes near this place, we find Tlmnbergia 

 coccinea, " Kuljoka," in abundance ; and Hardwickia binata, " Kuchlora" — 

 attaining the size of a large timber tree. The Clematis Nepalensis of 

 De Candolle (with an involucre) is abundant on the S. side of the Gaugur 

 Pass, at the head of the stream called Jurra-panee, and apparently does not 

 extend much further north : it grows at about 6500 feet elevation, and blos- 

 soms in December and January." 



Capt. Madden further adds, that the kind of shark found in the 

 Surjoo, called gonsh, is well know in the Ganges at Hurdwar.
