 .and further declare that no very confiderablc-'.flream appeared to join 

 it from, any other quarter. The road before adverted to, by which the 

 Bifeher men go to Cedar for fait, proceeding behind this- mountain was 

 .;: quoted by the pundit as a proof, that the river ■ did not come from a 

 greater diftance^ and he o-^entioned feveral corroborating accounts 

 given by ^htias^ who bad travelled much in this, .quirtcr. 



To ail this-.may be added, that- the (Iream of tht Blidgir at' fn', though 

 large and rapid, is perhaps not greater than may be accounted for by 

 the large mafs of fnow' that fupplics it, a^led on by rain and fnu, 

 at a time of year v/hen both,.., have greateil efFe6l; and that few 

 llreams of any confequence join it above the '^J'ahnevi ; the Shewri" 

 Gaihs the Midni Gdd'h, tliQ Bougi Gdd'h and the Cedar Gangd') being the 

 only ones from the fputh eaftj while from the north weft side, not • a 

 single ftream larger thsn a mere rills falls into it ; all of which renders 

 it probable, that few if any nullahs unite with the river above GangQ<^ 

 trig and that it really is formed as above defcribed. 



It has been faid, thafe the appearance of the bed of the river and 

 hills doling up our view confirmed the information we received, 

 'About two furlongs beyond Gang§lrii a point on the left from the 

 northward fhuts out the immediate view of the ft ream; beyond thisj 

 probably about one mile, (orlefsof horizontal diftancc) a point from 

 the fouth ward ilretches down behind the former, hiding a larger and 

 higher portion of the bed and, fides; beyond this the courfe is to all 

 appearance ilraight for a confiderable way to the foethward of eail^ 

 and a: very rough craggy ridge fnooting into iharp points forms the 

 eallern bank, and ends in a point, round which the river again appears 

 to t.aro, and which Itretches down from Swsrgdtohinh
