20th June, 1883. The country round Ichang is a grand resort for sportsmen, geologists and florists. About twenty- one miles below it is the walled city of Itu situated on a river of the same aame, which flows into the Yangisze, and is a fine clear stream about a hundred yards in width. This river is navigable for 400 miles. For the first forty miles navigation is quite easy but in the upper part many fapids occur.
