to be of service to precise Geography, and I am exceedingly obliged to 

 you for the information it contains." He then very clearly and fully 

 argued the whole question, and concluded by saying that the well-timed 

 publication of the Phari Itinerary had enabled him to substantiate that 

 the Peak seen from Sinchal is Chumalari, at the same time he satisfied 

 himself that the "Chola" of that Itinerary is the " Chumanko" of his 

 Survey. On these two points I am alike satisfied, and am very glad 

 indeed that in communicating the dissent of my hill people from the 

 conclusions of Colonel Waugh, I was the means of so soon shewing the 

 triumphs of accurate science over the obstinacy of local ignorance. 

 This is the history of the Chart now forwarded : and I doubt not that 

 the Society will be glad to possess so correct a delineation of these 

 exquisitively accurate observations, pending Colonel Waugh' s own publi- 

 cation of the results of his important operations in this quarter. I have 

 arranged the results of the Survey which most interest me under three 

 heads.
