i ) 4 Turner p. 21. At the foot of the Bootan mountains,
a plain extends for about thirty miles in
breath, chocked rather, than clothed with the
most luxuriant vegetation, The exha ations necessarily
arising fro pi the multitude of springs, which
the vicinity of mountains produces, are collected
and confined by these almost impervious woods,
and generate an atmosphere, through which no
traveller ever passed with impunity. Its effects
were fatal to Capt. Jones, and to a great part of
the troops, that served under him, in 1772; and
Colonel Sir John Cuming, one of the few, that escaped
with life, stik feels its injourious consequences.
