hand, the scene is over the spurs of Abu, and the vast plains of Marwar, and on the other we have a very fine view (given in the Photograph) across the lake to the north-east, where are seen the large blocks of barracks, and further to the east the Residency, and to the right of it the Office of the Governor-General's Agent; whilst under, and still further to the right, lie scattered the houses of the station.

The Station at Abu.

Photograph VI.

The Photograph, No. VI., is a view of part of the station as seen from the Residency; on the extreme left are the Offices of the Agency, and on the right is seen the roof and part of the west end of the little English church, nearly behind which is the Lawrence School, while between this and the Agency Offices, as also behind and before the School, are several bangalas belonging to officers attached to the Agency. This picture gives a very fair idea of the station, charmingly situated on an undulating plateau surrounded by hills.
