COAST OF COCHIN [Kochi] CHINA. THE land in this view, generally seen by navigators in their passage from China to Bengal, is the mountainous region of Cochin China. It is a bold but barren coast, and bears few traces of vegetation, with none of culture. No high forest trees are seen sheltering the rocky summits, which the approaching tempest often overshadows with dark recumbent clouds. No rice plantations are discovered on the shore. The land, like the ocean, wears a rude but sublime aspect of desolation. colour print from the book ' A Picturesque Voyage to India by Way of China ' by Thomas
