BANGE OF SANDSTONE HILLS. 4S 
feet broad ; but it was quite fordable in the latter end of 
October, when I passed it. 
The village of Kopah leads directly to another range of 
hills, whick^ise out of the general table- land, and form the 
southern side of the basin of Lohargong. They are less 
abrupt than those passed between Punnah and Kukurettee ; 
but their aspect, though not so striking, is much more beau- 
tiful, displaying every variety of shade in the foliage which 
covers them, and affording a rich and romantic diversity of 
prospect that is nowhere exceeded. The sandstone which 
composes them, hke the former, is in general horizontal. 
From Kopah to Bisseenie is 18 miles, from Bisseenie to 
Syennggur 10 or 12, and from this last to Bellaree as 
much more. The whole of the district is hilly, with 
numerous streams passing over it, and presents the same 
general features throughout. Specimens of a red-coloured 
decayed amygdaloid were taken from the hill above Bel- 
laree, where it is very abundant, in the form of large 
rnasses, lying apparently over sandstone. On descending 
this hill, the country again opens before the view, and a 
large plain, with trees dispersed over it, is seen extending 
in every direction. 
From Bellaree, to the next stage of Coreah, I travelled 
by night, and in consequence could not observe the appear- 
ance of the country. At one point, where the road passes 
over a small elevation, the rock projects from the surface 
in vertical ridges, in a singularly abrupt manner ; and, as 
far as could be perceived by the feeble light of a waning 
moon, it partakes of the same general nature as the sand- 
stone so often mentioned. 
In the next march, quartz-rock was observed, and some 
beds of grey-coloured splintery foliated limestone adjoin- 
ing to these, had a pecuhar striped arrangement, and, in 
colour, lustre, and compactness, were not unlike the lime-
