Nel pomeriggio abbiamo girato per un posto in una foresta, chiamato Ramsam, per visualizzare un Salt Lake, una collinetta di fango, e vari bollente, o piuttosto il gorgogliamento piscine. Il lago era di circa mezzo miglio di circonferenza, di una sporca-cercando acqua bollente fino in tutto il sussurrio dei corpi, ma più in particolare al centro, che appariva come una forte molla; l'acqua era molto freddo, e gustato amaro, sale e aspro, e aveva un offensiva

In the afternoon we rode to a place in a forest, called Ramsam, to view a salt lake, a mud hillock, and various boiling, or rather bubbling pools. The lake was about half a mile in circumference, of a dirty-looking water, boiling up all over in gurgling bodies, but more particularly in the centre, which appeared like a strong spring; the water was quite cold, and tasted bitter, salt, and sour, and had an offensive smell. About 30 yards from the lake stood the mud hillock, which was about 15 feet high from the level of the earth. The diameter of its base was about 25 yards, and its top about eight feet, and in form an exact cone. The top is open, and the interior keeps constantly working and heaving up mud in globular forms, like the Bludugs. Tlie hillock is entirely formed of mud which has flowed out of the top; every rise of the mud was accompanied by a rumbling noise from the bottom of the hillock, which was distinctly heard for some seconds before the bubbles burst. The outside of the hil- lock was quite firm. We stood on the edge of the opening and sounded it, and found it to be 11 fathoms deep. The mud was more liquid than the Bludugs, and no smoke was emitted from the lake, hillock, or pools. Close to the foot of the hillock was a small pool of the same water as the lake, which appeared exactly like a pol of water boiling violently; it was shallow, except in the centre, into which we thrust a stick twelve feet long, but found no bottom. The hole not being perpendicular, we could not sound it with a line. About 200 yards from the lake were several large pools or springs, two of which were eight and ten feet in diameter. They were Jike the small pool, but boiled more violently, and smelt excessively. The ground around them was hot to the feet, and the air which issued from them quit
