Postscript on Him/malayan Attraction. 
1. Since transmitting in September last my Paper “ On the Deflection of the Plumb- 
line in India caused by the Attraction of the Himmalaya Mountains, &c. , I have bad the 
advantage of seeing the pages of a very interesting and valuable work by Major 
E. Strachey, now passing through the press, upon the Physical Geography of the 
Himmalayas ; and being allowed to make use of them, I gladly avail mv self of the im- 
portant information they contain to add a Postscript to my former commumcations. 
2. The new information now obtained gives a view of the regions which lie bevond ^ 
the Himmalayan crest, differing in some respects from that which I gathered from the j 
sources of scanty data which I have hitherto been able to consult. The results of Major 
Strachet’s investigations, combined with those of his brother Captain H. Strachey, are 
represented in the following diagram. A, B, and C (as in my former Papers) are the
