340 Ancient Glacier Action in the Punjab. [May, 
have descended, and repeat and lose themselves in the plain, 
7 or 8 miles more of which bring us to Rawul Pindi, situated, 
you will remark, on ground that, rising imperceptibly, is 
still 500 feet above Barakow, and on whose northern side 
are extensive and dangerous bogs. 
Fifth day’s march. Pindi to Dargool. Still going due 
south and ground steadily rising ; all hard baked clay, but 
within a mile of Pindi the ground dips again over another 
series of low undulating hill, this time not bare rock, but 
covered with rounded stones of every size from that of an 
ostrich’s egg to a nutmeg. The occasional cuttings for the 
road show that many feet from the surface these ground and 
striated egg-shaped stones, cemented firmly by tough clay 
form the face of the country we are travelling over — -officers 
dismount and walk by common consent, drivers take their 
beasts short by the head, and every one abuses India, the 
Punjab, and that particular bit between Pindi and Dargool 
heartily. But after a few miles the stones get smaller and 
smaller, the great cracks in the dry clay get deeper, the clay 
banks get higher and look more and more like fortifications, 
and then we almost suddenly descend into the valley of the 
stream that has followed us so long and see a level fertile 
plain in front of us, and the stream now swollen into a 
river, able to make itself respected, sweeps round under 
great jagged perpendicular claj' walls, between 200 and 
300 feet high on its left bank, and of unmistakably the 
same mixture as stained our tents so badly at Trete ; while 
the right bank is for miles, level smiling young corn fields, 
among which stand our tents in bright relief near the river’s 
edge. 
Reading in that camp Mr. M. Williams’s article, and 
recalling the charadter of the ground passed over in my 
recent marches down from the hills immediately north of 
me, I confess myself a complete convert of his views, and 
here record fadts that seem to me to confirm them.
