the lake, close under the cliff of the mountains, we found
large covered sheds, in which is held the great market or
bazaar; this spot was called Bazaar-cooe. In the burial-
grounds around were many remains of columns, pedestals
and sculptured white marble, but all in a late and not pure
style.
In about an hour we crossed a considerable river, running
toward the north from the range of mountains to the south-
east, and continued our way over a plain of rich soil, entirely
cultivated with corn, which was just springing out of the
ground. About fifteen miles on our way the soil became
lighter, and was filled with stones of igneous rocks. For
the next ten miles we entered quite a different region; bar-
ren hills, which we crossed, protruded into this part of the
valley, while the river wound around their bases. The whole
of these were quite distinct from the high mountains of
limestone rising above them, and had all been deposited at
their feet amidst running waters; the same power is now
again washing them away, although they consist of rolled
fragments of volcanic stones, cemented strongly together
with a deposit of lime. This pudding-stone rock stands out
in most grotesque forms, and often in thin shelves from the
face of the rocks, upon which our road ran. Beyond these
rocks were a series of barren hills, the arid soil not even
producing a tree. A few bushes of the little oak-shrub are
