‘from the latitude 6f B44; from what authority, it is difficult to guess, ‘for 
much ‘ds has been*surmised and ‘written respecting the head of the 
Ganges, I cannot find any accounts of that of the Jumaa.—tt was not 
‘known, until the year 1814, that the Jumaa, properly so called, was a 
comparatively small ‘river above its junction with the Tonse in the 
Din, and I believe the existence of the latter river, though fully treble 
the size of the Jumna, was unknown to Europeans. 
Tue junction of the Tonse and Jumna takes place at the N. W. 
end of the Dun valley, in latitude 30 30, where the large river loses its 
name in that of the small one, and the united stream is called the Jumna. 
The course ‘of the Jumna from Jumnotri, which is in latitude 30 59, 
beine generally ‘south 50 west. It is fordable above the confluence, 
but the T'onse is not.—Not having yet visited the sources of the Tonse, I 
_ am not certain whether it rises within the Himdlaya, as the Bhd giratht 
) does, or at its S. W.. or exterior base like the Jwmna; but the latter I be- 
Vieve to be the case. I apprehend, that three considerable streams, which, 
like the Jumma, originate from the south faces of the Himdlaya, in the 
districts of Barasa, Lewlowari, and Deodara Kowarra, join to form the 
Tons2; and it receives a considerable accession of water from the Paber 
river, which I imagine to be equal in size to any of the three above-men= 
tioned feeders. Respecting them, I have at present only native informa- 
tion to guide me, but of the Paber I can speak with more confidence, for, 
when in June 1816, I penetrated within the Himdiaya, by the course 
of the Seélej, I found that the north bases of many of the snowy peaks, 
seen from the plains of Hindustan, were washed -by that river.—lIts
