along, are moderately steep, and are clothed with noble cedars, and various 
sorts of large pines, of which the Cshtr and Rhai or Rher are the largest s 
Cshir isa name indiseriminately given to several of the large leaved pines, 
but the tree:so called here, is-the true Deals it grows to a great height, 
aud bears'a resemblance to. the common Cshiv. or turpentine fir, which 
abounds in the lower hills, but which is never seen in company with the 
cedar, (Deoddi). I took some specimens of this Beal, it is light and has a 
fine grain: the Rhay isa lofty pine, it has a. graceful appearance, the 
leaves are pendent. The. weod.of it is not esteemed for building, being 
heavy and knotty: the cedar is always preferred for that purpose. From 
the Sangha to Deral, the Ganges flows in an expanded bed with a 
swift current. ever stones, Yesterday it was a succession of falls from 
reek to rock, and bounded hy frightful precipices. To-day the scenery 
was very interesting, the river being bounded immediately to the north 
by the cedar. forests; above which, towered the-sharp snowy peaks, and 
many torrents and cascades fell from them. I never made a more delightful 
march; the climate is pleasant and the weather bright to-day. “he village 
of Derdli is situated in a rocky recess and commands a fine view of the 
river, and of the north sides of the snowy peaks behind Jamnauiri. There 
are three small temples of stone by the river side, they are of good work~ 
manship. Derali was plundered'last year by banditti from the westward.
