As Ihave deviated too much from my subject, I must crave the indulgence of my readers. I will now briefly describe the Peichihkc. 'This Ko, or mansion, is of three storeys. 'The top storey is inaccessible as the staircase, which was destroyed many years' ago, has not yet been rebuilt. The ground storey, is not worth inspection, since thers. is not a single window that gives it light. The only part of the [mansion that is usually visited by, sightseers is the middle storey, on which one can take a clear view of the surrounding scenes. Some well-written Chinese characters and analy badly-composed poems may be found on the gates and adorning the walls of the Peichihko.
