few more Putars, in which limes continue abundant.  On these I find no less than three species of Rubus; in those parts on which rice has been cultivated a pretty fringed Hypericum likewise occurs, and these are the most interesting plants that have presented themselves.  Our course improved much yesterday; it extended E. by S., and was rather less than seven miles.  Halted at Kha-thung-kyoun, where the Meewoon had halted, and where the Dupha Gam had remained some time previous.  The same vegetation occurs, Engelhardtia, Gleichenia major longe scandens, Equisetum both species, Euphorbiacea nereifolia, Dicksonia rare, Scleria vaginis alatis, Plantago media, Zizania ciliaris, Melastoma malabathrica, Lycium arenarum, Duchesnia indica, Mazus rugosus, the Suddiya Viburnum, Millingtonia pinnata, Pentaptera, Erythrina; an arboreous Eugenia fol. magnis, abovatis, is however new, and Polypodium Wallichianum which occurred to-day growing on clay-slate.  But considering the elevation at which we still remain to be tolerably high, the products both of the vegetable and animal kingdom are comparatively uninteresting.  There are more epiphytical Orchideae on the south sides of these hills, than the north.  Musci and Hepaticae are common, but do not embrace a great amount of species.  Machantia asamica is common.  Another new tree I found is probably a Careya or Barringtonia; the young inflorescence is nearly globular, and clothed with imbricated scales.  Sedgewickia has disappeared.  No tea was seen.  There is but little doubt that on hills, the ranges of which rise gradually, the acclimatization of low plants may take place to such a degree, that such plants may be found at high elevations; can they however so far become acclimated, as to preponderate?  I expected of course to find the same plants on both sides of the hills, but I did not expect to find Rottlerae, Fici, tree-ferns, etc., at an elevation of 4000 feet and upwards.

The fish of the streams continue the same, as well as the birds.  The Ouzel, white and black, long-tailed Jay, white-headed Redstart, red-rumped ditto, all continue.  Water Wagtails were seen to-day.  This bird is uncommon in hill water-courses; one snipe was seen yesterday.  Ooloocks (Hylobates agilis), continue as in Assam.  With regard to fish, both species of Barbel occur; {68} the most killing bait for the large one, or Bookhar of the Assamese, is the green fucus, which is common, adhering to all the stones in these hill-streams:  it is difficult to fix it on the hook.  The line should be a running one, and not leaded, and the bait may be thrown as a fly.  To it the largest fish rise most greedily; plenty of time must be allowed them to swallow before one strikes, otherwise no fish will be caught.  All the same Palms continue except Calami, Areca, and Wallichiana.

Balsamineae are uncommon.  There is one however, although rare, probably the same as the bright crimson-flowered one of the Meerep Panee.  Urticeae have diminished; the Suddiya Viola occurred yesterday, the Asplenium, fronde lanceolat. continues common.
