I shall have to mention several other instances of the wonderful quickness and accuracy with which Brown as well as Charley were able to recognize localities which they had previously seen.

The impressions on their retina seem to be naturally more intense than on that of the European; and their recollections are remarkably exact, even to the most minute details.

Trees peculiarly formed or grouped, broken branches, slight clevations of the ground--in fact, a hundred things, which we should remark only when paying great attention to a place--seem to form a kind of Daguerreotype impression on their minds, every part of which is readily recollected.
I rejoined my party at the creek which comes from Mount Stewart.

The natives had approached Mr.Gilbert when out shooting, with a singular, but apparently friendly, noise: "Ach! Ach! Ach!" They had heard the cooce of my blackfellow Charley, and thought Mr.Gilbert wanted them; but, as he was alone, he thought it prudent to retire to the camp.
The thunder-storm, which we experienced on the night of the 19th, had completely changed the aspect of the country round Mount Stewart.

All the melon-holes of the scrub, all the ponds along the creeks, all the water-holes in the beds of the creeks, were full of water; the creek at which we encamped, was running; the grass looked fresh and green; the ground, previously rotten, was now boggy, and rendered travelling rather difficult; but we were always at home, for we found water and grass everywhere.
The days from the 17th to the 23rd were exceedingly hot, but, during the early morning and the evening, the air was delightfully cool.
