The exit of this stream is through a narrow gorge, by which it descends to the low country.

During the period of heavy rains a landslip has evidently choked up this passage, and the exit of the water being thus obstructed, the whole area of the valley has become a lake.

The accumulated water has suddenly burst through the obstruction and swept everything before it.

The elk are very fond of lying under the precipices in the strips of jungle already mentioned.

When found, they are accordingly forced to take to the open country and come down to the basin below, as they cannot possibly ascend the mountain except by one or two remote deer-runs.
