THE SHIB RIVER.   315

191 cub. m. per second for the whole Satlej. In this figure, however, the tributaries

on the opposite side are not included, nor small brooks from springs. The volume

is, therefore, greater.

As usual, the ascent begins at once and is very steep. To the right is

seen the narrow gorge by which the joint Shib River goes down between wild rocks

and nearly perpendicular terraces to the Satlej. Our road traverses three terraces,

crosses a tributary bed and ascends a valley. On the platform of the hills, there

are many erosion furrows. Turning N. W. we enter the large valley, Sang serfto,

with hard soil and some scanty vegetation. Here the solid rock consisted of dark-

green serpentine. To the left are ridges and hills and from them a large tributary

valley enters. Finally our direction becomes due north and the valley is somewhat

broader. In its northern part, it again becomes very narrow. Here a spring comes

forth, forming a little brook surrounded by good grass. In the first part of our

march the black range, south of our route, was still visible at a distance of perhaps

2 o km. and with snow here and there.
