With the exception of these, the vegetation is much the same as that about Churra:  but the Balsams of that place disappear almost towards Surureem, as well as the Tradescantia 7-clavata.  Plants which are not in flower about Churra, are found towards Surureem in perfection.

After the first considerable ascent is surmounted, and which is probably 4,750 feet, the country becomes more barren, the grass more scanty and less luxuriant.  Spathoglottis, and Anthogonium disappear; Xyris continues in abundance, likewise Eriocaulons, especially the middling-sized one; Bucklandia becomes more common and more developed; a frutescent Salix commences at 4,800 feet, as well as a Gramen Avenaceum vel Bromoideum.

Surureem is a small village, 100 feet above the rude bungalow, provided for the few travellers who pass this way; close to it is to be found Zanthoxylum and Hemiphragma, which last commences at Moosmai.  The simple leaved Rubus of Churra, petalis minutis carneis, has ceased; a trifoliate one foliis cordato-rotundatis, existing instead.  Most of the grasses continue, but all are comparatively of small stature.  Two new Andropogonoids make their appearance:  of Compositae, a Tussilaginoid and a stout Senecionidea, the former not uncommon about Churra, but out of flower.  Salomonia ceased.

The height of Surureem I calculate at 4,978 feet; temperature 65 degrees Fahr.; of centigrade 19 degrees; water boiled at 95.5 degrees of centigrade; 203 degrees Fahr., wooden scale; 203.5 degrees large metal; small ditto 195.5 degrees!  Temperature of the air at 6 P.M., 63 degrees.

October 6th.—­Temperature 6 A.M., 63.5 degrees.  Left for Moflong.  There is a considerable rise at first, then the country is tolerably level until one reaches the Kala Panee, the descent to this is about 7 or 800 feet, thence the rise is great, with a corresponding descent to the Boga Panee, which I estimate at 4,457 feet, and which is certainly 1,000 feet below the highest ground passed on this side of the Kala Panee.  After crossing this torrent, by means of a miserably unsteady wooden bridge, the ascent is very steep for about 1,200 feet, thence there is a small descent to Moflong, which I find to be 5,485 feet.  Most of the plants continue.  Tradescantia and Commelina become much less common towards the Kala Panee, as well as the Impatiens of Churra, but their place is supplied by others.  Along 100 yards of the Kala Panee, upwards of four species may be met with.  Polygonum (Bistorta) becomes more common on the higher ground between Surureem and Kala Panee, thence diminishing in size and frequency.  Polygonum Rheoides becomes abundant towards a height of 5,200 feet, when Pyrus, an apple-like species, and Spiraeas make their appearance at 5,300 feet.  On the Kala Panee, Bucklandia re-appears, but thence would seem to cease:  on the brow of the ascent from this, Pedicularis appears in abundance among grasses, with it Sphacele?  At the same height,
