steep snowy mountains of Jummautré. 
The stream was 3 feet wide, and a few 
inches deep, formed by the melting 
“of the: mass of snow, which overlaid 
the bed, by the steam of the-extensive 
and powerful hot springs, which are 
here. The bed of snow, concealing the - 
stream, was 40 feet 04 inch in thicke 
ness. E-descended to the bed of the 
stream, by a hole in the snow bed, 
made by the hot steam. Various 
domes and excavations in the snow, 
over-arch the Jumna ;—they are cau- 
sed by the hot steam. The bed of the 
stream, for the last 1% miles, is wholly 
concealed by deep snow; it is bound- 
ed by high mural precipices, at the 
distance of 50 to 100 yards asunder.
