Rivers, Gances and JuMNA, 135 
Tae Camaulda is the largest river which the Jumna receives above 
ot 
the confluence of the Tonse; its course is from N. 10 west, down the 
Rema Serat district, which is a small valley, and is reported to be insome 
places a mile wide, but it is now overrun with jungles, full of wild 
beasts.—The Camaulda, now swollen by the rain, is about 70 feet wide, 
and 23 feet deep, and very rapid. Immediately on crossing it, the coun< 
try up the Jumna assumes a more pleasing appearance; the mountains 
which bound it, though very lofty, do not rise so abruptly, and several 
small villages are seen on their lower slopes. On the right bank of the 
river, there is a slip of level ground 3 to 500 yards wide—The summits 
of the mountains are covered by cedars and other pines, and the snow 
yet lies on them. Proceed by the river side to Paunti, a village of 20 
houses, pleasantly situated about 400 feet above the Jumna.—The march 
was long and fatiguing, as it rained the whole ways the loaded people 
did not arrive ull after dark.—At this village, I got supplies of grain.—- 
The country I have passed through from Calsi is nearly deserted, on ac- 
. count of famine, caused by the crops of last year having been destroyed 
P by the hail, in October.—Aware of this circumstance, I have, brought 
grain with me from Calsi, and subsisted my followers with it.
