If I were to compare <placeName xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0" ref="https://edition-humboldt.de/H0010238 https://www.geonames.org/1256312">Sikkim</placeName> with the <choice xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0"> <abbr>N.W.</abbr> <expan>North West</expan> </choice> <placeName xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0" ref="https://edition-humboldt.de/H0006863 https://www.geonames.org/1252558">Himalayah</placeName>, I should say <lb xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0" />that the Snow Line is lower in <placeName xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0" ref="https://edition-humboldt.de/H0010238 https://www.geonames.org/1256312">Sikkim</placeName>, because a far greater quantity <lb xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0" />falls, & the sky is more cloudy.
