136 A SURVEY oF THE 
houses pleasantly situated, and sheltered from the northern blasts, . This 
district of Banaul is about seven milesin length; the N. W. endis closed 
by a high rocky mountain, where the stream arises, which waters the 
bottom of the glen.—Several villages are seen placed in advantageous 
situations on the sides of the mountains, the soil of which is fertile; 
wood, water, and grain are abundant. 
As I learnt that much snow yet remained on my route forward, I 
halted here some days, to give it time to melt, and to refresh my people, 
who were harassed by the journey from Caist, for 1t had rained every 
day, and they had been sparingly and ill fed, and also to take the ratcs 
of my chronometers.—I took two immersions of Jupiter’s satellites, as 
follows:
