The country beyond it, to the eastward, over which our former route passed, appeared like high table-land in Bluey distance; but neither of the mountains Bindango or Bindyego were visible from the country traversed by the party this day.

I could only imagine one Bluey tint in a long line of ravines, to be over the bed of the Maran, which seemed thus to pass through the line of cones, and to come from high ranges about the 25th parallel.

The sprinkling of mountains of peculiar forms here and there, and the open country, which showed a Bluey distance, were new features in the scenery, and most pleasing to us, so long accustomed to travel through a level woody country.
