streaming around it; the left hand holds a trisula with a long 
handle In addition there are three figures of Durga of 
which Raffles gives several representations. All three are 
standing on the recumbent buffalo, the tail of which is held 
in the lower right hand, whilst the corresponding left grasps 
the hair of an imp which stands on the head of the buffalo, and 
in one instance is seen to hold up a hand in a deprecating 
manner. The numerous other arms of Durga hold various 
insignia. 
As the sun got up the mist cleared off and allowed us to 
get a view of the country. The district of Antang is an up¬ 
land vale, surrounded by mountains, which are clothed with 
dense forest, the lower borders are planted with coffee, whilst 
the undulating vale itself is occupied by numerous woody 
village steads surrounded by Sawahs, from which the crop 
of paddy had lately been taken. The Pasangrahan is situa¬ 
ted in a recess at the North Eastern corner of the vale and 
commands a fine view. It is close to the range which comes 
down from the Arjuno, and here terminates in what the 
people of Antang call Gunung Indoro Wati bearing East40 Q 
North. West from the Pasangrahan the vale is bounded by 
a steep ridge called Gunung Loksono, over the top of whicii 
is the shortest route to Kediri, but the usual and made road 
is down a steep valley or gorge between it and the Indoro 
Wati, being a distance of 37 pauls, with an intermediate sta¬ 
tion called Parie, already 20 pauls from Antang; so that our 
route via Blitar was nearly double of the direct one. At the 
South Western foot of the Loksono and between it and the 
spurs of the Klut, the Kali Konto escapes from the vale, 
taking with it the whole of its drainage. This river is said 
to divide itself into several courses in the lowlands of Modjo 
Rijo and . gung, as no one corresponding large stream is 
there crossed. Bearing from the Pasangrahan South 30°. 
West rise the numerous and shattered tops of the Gunung 
Klut. Proceeding Southward, round the circumference of 
the vale, is the ridge which connects this mountain with the 
Kawi, which we had crossed the day before at Pagar Sari, 
and over which, from some positions, is seen towering the 
steep tower rock of Gunung Kerisie. The Kawi is higher 
than the Klut, and has a more regularly formed cone; it 
bears from the 1 asangrahan South 20° East, and with its 
subordinate parts shuts in the East of the vale of Antang. 
Here we come round upon the deep gulley of the Kali Kon¬ 
to, which rising to the Eastward of the Indoro Wati hills, 
here passes between them and the Kawi, and along the course
