The Palace here is quite ruined; the Pagodas onely remain in good repair.
[The Province of Ouvah.] This City stands in the Kingdom or Province of Ouvah, which is a Countrey well watered, the Land not smooth, neither the Hills very high, wood very scarce, but what they plant about their Houses.

But great plenty of Cattle, their Land void of wood being the more apt for grazing.

If these Cattle be carried to any other Parts in this Island they will commonly dye, the reason whereof no man can tell, onely they conjecture it is occasioned by a kind of small Tree or Shrub, that grows in all Countreys but in Ouvah, the Touch or Scent of which may be Poyson to the Ouvah Cattel; though it is not so to other.

The Tree hath a pretty Physical smell like an Apothecaries Shop, but no sort of Cattle will eat it.

In this Cuontry grows the best Tobacco that is on this Land.
