July 24.— The morning was chill and cloudy, but many of the fnow; 

 fummits appeared, on the oppofite fide of the river, with deep ravines 

 fireaked with fnow, defcending from their bofomSj carrying their 

 flreams to the river. A few fmall villages are [een near the river, on 

 their fkirts—7>rrr itfelf is fmali and poor; the boufes are chiefly cover- 

 ed v^ith grafs ; flate is probably fcarce of a good quality^ and wood h 

 only ufed to cover the temples. 



We left the village at half pafl 7 ; jufl; beyond it the profpe;ft down 

 the river opens, feveral villages with a good deal of cultivation ap«> 

 pearing. A various and irregular road, palling Shnodr-ci Gad'k, and 

 through the wretched village of Cufin led us to Palu^ a village iituate 

 on aprojeding point high above the river, upon which, and in the 

 valley, there is much cuhivation. Two miles and a half of a iimilar- 

 load, inclmdiog another afcent and defcent in croffing G^Jd Gdd'hj 

 carried us to ReiChal^ which is a large villsge and looks more thriving
