The abbot who had entertained Mr.
Baber ten years before was, for some unexplained rea- son, averse to our stopping with him for the night. We, however, overcame his objections, and took a room on the second floor. I found him an intelligent man, and if possessed of prejudices he was wise enough to conceal them in his conversation.
The temples are commodious. They are filled with costly images, some of which are peculiar in form and adornment. Owing to the great depth of snow which falls upon t...he mountain, the roofs are built uncommonly strong, and are covered in some instances with thick planks half-a-dozen deep ; some have iron convex tiles 232 WESTERN CHINA.

Copper and iron are found in abundance not far away.
