עמוד 7 - Whatever has been done here", wrote Mr. WB Jackson, an Inspecting Officer in 1852, "has been done by Dr. Campbell alone.

עמוד iv - Thibet, to Lassa, with appended Routes from Darjeeling to Phari. — By A. CAMPBELL, MD Superintendent of Darjeeling. One more contribution to conjectural Geography in the form of an unpretending Itinerary, will not, I hope, incense the votaries of real Geography, and may less or more interest the members of the Society, as an attempt to familiarise them with a neighbouring country which is so little known to us, yet of such importance to be acquainted with. Phari or Pharidzong, is a frontier mart...
עמוד 5 - Pankhabaree and Kurseong, where a plantation of both tea and coffee has been established by Mr. Martin, and the plants are now in a highlythriving condition. In this tract of country, between the Morung and Darjeeling, every variety of elevation and aspect is to be found, and there seems to be little or no doubt that tea cultivation in that tract would answer. The elevation of Mr. Martin's plantation is about 4,000 feet at Paukhabaree, and fresh land is obtainable to any extent in that neighbourhood...
