dar grows to a large size, although naturally its range does not ex- 

 tend so low as this slope. Passed a beautiful temple, surrounded 

 with fine Deodars. 



Ferns occur in more abundance, thence downwards Woodwardia, 

 Dicksonia ? Cyatheoides, and Adiantum. Mosses also occur on the 

 dripping rocks. 



An Alnus also occurs. 



No fish were visible in the streamlet. Peristrophe occurs through- 

 out from Roopur to Simla. 



Epiphytous or at least Epirupous Scitaminia. Hedychium is found 

 on rocks on this slope, which would give an elevation of about 5,500 

 feet. 



On the sunny sides of hills about Simla, Dicerma is found, this is 

 one of the most tropical forms. 



No Epiphytous Orchidea are seen. And of birds Enicurus, the 

 redstart of torrents, and Myophonus were observed.
