(g) Memorandum concerning the CaliPooter [= Kali Putih] or White River. The visit to this river was paid in October 1812. The river is also described in Mackenzie Private 36.Ii, q.v., and there called Songi Pouti [= Sungai Putih]. Its more usual name appears to be Bangu Putih, all these appellations merely describing it by its colour.

A few notes on the difficulties of the ascent, and a brief description of the crater and the view from the Summit.

(i) Further remarks respecting the same mountain. A short note on the beds of lava in this neighbourhood. Mention is made of the fact that in some places they showed the imprints of human feet, cattle tracks, &c.
