The path is very rough and merely a succession of steps from one broken

stream, which though not wide is-deep, and impetuous, falling from rock. 
In the less rapid parts pools are formed, where the breadth may be 200 
feet, but generally it appears from 100 to 120 feet wides several rills be-

is subject. Of these Barometers more hereafter.
