NEAR CUCRAHAUTTEE, ON THE RIVER HOOGLY (Hooghly) THIS view is taken from a spot near the Hoogly, embellished by nature with all the exuberance of vesetation peculiar to Bengal. The level face of the country is a defect abundantly compensated by the variety and magnificence of the foliage ; but the eye is perpetually offended by pieces of stagnant water, which generate impure air and myriads of insects, incessant in their persecution of the human species. Of these the most formidable are the musquitoes, which are merely gnats of a gigantic size. colour print from the book ' A Picturesque Voyage
