The lower boundary of this region lies, on the south-east, 
at an altitude of 870 m; but on the due south side, it climbs 
as high as 1400 m., and on some parts it comes up even to 
altitudes of 1600 m.-1700 m. On the due south where this 
formation attains its most luxuriant growth, we see the gigantic 
forest principally formed of Fagus, Zelkowa and Quercus, with 
thick under-growth, the ground being sufficiently capable of 
holding Water. The tall Fagus with climbing Rhus and Euony-
