From the last point I ascended, as from others, there was a large mountain bearing N.E.by N.from me, distant 50 or 60 miles, which I rightly judged to be Mount Lyell.

It was a bold, round hill, without any particular feature, but evidently the loftiest connected with the Barrier Range.

Mount Babbage bore N.by E.and was only just visible above the dark scrubs between me and it.

The teams were keeping rather nearer the hills than Flood had gone, and were moving directly for a line of trees apparently marking the course of a creek.

On my way to overtake the party, I met Mr.Browne and Flood on the plains, with whom I rode back.
