A DELIGHTFUL GARDEN. 363 upon a hill, round which Khor Lunn flows, and it is celebrated for its never-failing good water and its invariably cool temperature, on which account it would form a good sanatorium for the province; it is only about five hours’ march distant from the station of Ganda.

After crossing Khor Lunn again, this time by means of a very good bridge, the country began to rise rapidly. The path, which led over yellow, moist, loamy soil, passed between two rows of mountains, the one on the east being composed of many peaks, eight hundred to fifteen hundred feet from the road, which was often crossed by spurs from its hills in the form of flat rocky ridges or high Mamelons, All the khors were contained in very deep beds, but although they . were troublesome to cross, the march over the broad road, edged by luxuriant vegetation, was, on the whole, very pleasant. Kigelhas and Prosopis laden with fruit, extensive reed-woods, then stretches of high grass with gigantic Hchinops, groves, tall acacias, all the bushes grown over with Crucifera, which exhale a stupefying odour, and the white flowers of which shone like stars from the dark green bushes, the road itself being strewn with the five-pointed flowers of a Keempferia, all combined to form a delightful garden. At ten o’clock in the morning we found ourselves upon a watershed. All the brooks we had as yet crossed were tributaries of the Yei, or at any rate they flowed to the north, whereas now the streams flowed to the east. This fact is indicated upon Junker’s map of the district of the Yei, but the streams do not flow into the Bibia, as in that map, but into the Bahr-el-Jebel between Dufilé and Wadelai. The hills around Janda are richly wooded and encircled by small khors. The character and vegetation of the country are, on the whole, very like those of north Unyéro, except that there are no banana groves. The place of the banana is taken here by Musa ensete, which is conformable with the altitude of the country. Date palms were noticed near Khor Lékebe, and the bright flowers of the Spathodias were blooming amongst the thick acacia wood which covered the hill of Janda. | The station of Janda (Ganda), our most advanced post in the Kakuak country, was only erected last year, and has since
