under our protectorate.
Besides these political results, there were also scientific
results of no mean value. Captain Ryder's survey opera-
tions have already been referred to. Mr. Hayden made
valuable geological collections, which are on view in the
Museum at Calcutta, and which are described by him in

considered that a difficulty was presented by the amount
of the indemnity, especially when the provision for its pay-
ment was read in conjunction with Clause VII. of the
Treaty, the effect being that our occupation of Chumbi
might have to continue for seventy-five years. This was, the
Secretary of State said, inconsistent with the instructions
conveyed in his telegram of July 26, and with the declara-
