This latter may be said to be entirely through plains, for of the two hills occurring, only one is at all noticeable, and both are traversed in carriages. From Kathmándú to the iron boundary-bridge beyond Táchindó (China frontier) is 665 kós; and thence to Chinchi Shán or Mount Chinchi is 20 kós. Throughout these limits, or 685 kós from Kathmándú, mountains covered with snow occur. In the remaining 565 no snowy mountains occur. Horses are used for the first 894 [query 897], and carriages for the last 356 [query 353]. Total, 1250 kós. * This remark, as well as the prior one in the body of the paper, belongs to the original.
