His work on the Cretaceous Cephalopoda of Southern India was steadily progressing in 
the early part of this year, 1865, and some of the general results which he had arrived at 
were communicated to the geological public in Europe, through the agency of the Geological 
Society of London, the Philosophical Magazine, and the Verhandlungen of the Vienna 
Geological Reichsanstalt. 
Having completed the MSS. of his memoir upon the Himalayas, from which the above 
extract has been quoted, and an elaborate paper, entitled “ A Revision of the Gasteropoda 
“ i n the Eastern Alps,” which was dated Calcutta, April 20th, 1865, and published in the 
“ Sitzungsberiehte ” of the Vienna Academy for the same year, he again started for the 
North-west, leaving Calcutta early in 1865. As companions on this journey he took with 
him an artist friend and a dog, a dog so remarkable that he is deserving of some notice 
in this Memoir. It was not until the following year that the writer made the personal 
acquaintance of the master, an acquaintance which soon ripened into warm friendship and 
regard as circumstances brought us into close association both in office and in the field. The 
acquaintanceship with the dog was of a very limited character indeed, in fact we were never 
even on speaking terms, for a more unapproachable irreconcilable canine savage it was 
never my lot to meet. He had served Stoliczka as a guard in his tent on the wild Himalayan 
slopes so efficiently that stories Avere told of how the artist friend, when he returned to 
camp, was often kept for hours sitting disconsolate outside the tent, till Stoliczka’ s arrival after 
his day’s work afforded the necessary escort for a practicable entree. Stoliczka and the native 
who fed the dog were alone recognised as masters, and the method by which he was first 
subjugated by his master was of the most stringent and severe character. At the hotel in 
Calcutta where Ave stayed the dog’s critical inspection, as though with a view to future 
operations, of the calves of everyone he met on the stairs, and still more his fancy for consti- 
tuting himself the guardian and sole occupant every morning of a whole range of bath rooms, 
led to such complaints on the part of the residents that before long his master had to part 
with him and he disappeared from the scene. 
In March 1866 Stoliczka had completed the account of this second trip, and it was soon 
afterwards published, appearing together with the previous one in the same volume of the 
Memoirs of the Geological Survey of India. 
He described the route followed on this journey in the following words : — * 
“ Starting from Simla on the 1st of May 1865, I proceeded through Suket, Mandi, the 
“ Kulu valley, and then, crossing the Rotang pass, to Kyelang in Lahul. Here I was 
“ detained for nearly a week, waiting until I could hear whether the Baralatse pass 
“ was passable or not. After having received favorable reports, I managed to cross the 
“ pass on the 22nd June, and after two short marches reached the Chumig-giarsa, a spring 
“ remarkable for its large supply of cold water, a little north of the junction of the Lingti 
“ and Yunam rivers, and at the place where the Tsarap river unites with both. Up to this 
“ the course of my journey was more or less, but mainly, due north from Simla. 
“ Erom Chumig-giarsa I turned towards the east, proceeding south along the Tsarap valley, 
“ up its course ; crossed the Pangpo-la into the Phirse valley, then the Lanyer-laf into the 
“ Gya valley, and after a few minor passes (of about 18,000 feet in elevation) reached 
“ Korzog on the 2nd July.
