Longitude 50° 9 f E.

The surface of the plain hardens.
Small village half a mile to the left;
barometer 29-45" (50') ; temperature 68°.
The poorest of grasses scantly covers the
mud flat; in places it is muddy.
The grass improves in quality, and the
soil is here and there tilled.
Traverses the dry bed of a nnllah or creek
8' deep and. 300' wide ; a little wheat is
here cultivated, and the plain becomes
better covered with grass. On St. John's
