my route from Kyra Gully to the spot I was on that I think 
would have interested him. For instance, first day’s march 
of only 8 miles : — Leave Kyra Gully 8400 feet ; descend 
1500 feet ; ascend to Murree camping-ground, 7600 feet. 
Shale nearly the whole way, but limestone cropping out 
here and there. At Murree we got on to sandstone. Next 
day to Trete, 4000 feet, where the road and ground in 
section N. and S., goes thus 
making a little basin : on the outer edges are built a few 
huts and houses : the whole basin very fertile. We were 
caught there by heavy rain. I, my men, my horses and 
mules, spent a miserable night there ; every step in the soft 
red undtuous mud sunk deep ; my tents bore its stains after 
repeated scrubbings, and the rough canvass cover of a valued 
folding-chair to this day bears witness to the tenacity of the 
clay with which that rock basin at Trete is filled, and which 
is unmistakably different to, and more tenacious than, any 
of the many fine specimens of mud and dirt passed on our 
way down. 
Third day’s march to Barakow, 1200 feet, and the plains 
of the Punjab are entered. The rapid change most op- 
pressive for men and animals. The ground is strewn with 
great sandstone boulders. The stream that from Kyra 
Gully has run far below us on our right we cross, and find 
it swelling into a river, and at Barakow there are deep 
pools large enough to bathe with comfort in. Good shooting 
round Barakow, but country all sandstone boulders and 
scrub. 
Fourth day, 17 miles to Rawul Pindi, 1700 feet. A long, 
level, monotonous tramp, stiflingly hot to us just fresh from 
higher levels, but delightfully cool to those who rode out to 
meet us and had spent their summer on the plains. Half- 
way we halted, where a bend of the river neared the road 
and a low ridge of sandstone rock ran from east to west, 
and on the northern side had been scooped out into a deep 
rock-pool, where lie plenty of fish, which, with the northerly 
aspedf of the sloping rock, make this a favourite picnic spot 
from Pindi. The range of low sandstone hills run from E. 
to W., across the rapidly widening mouth of the valley we
