A further 300 li north stands Mount Běixiāo [北嚻], without ordinary stone. Its southern slope has much blue-green jade, its northern slope much jade. There is a beast like a Hǔ, with a white body, dog head, horse tail, and pig bristles, called Dú Yù [獨𤞞]. There is a bird like a crow, with a human face, called Pán Mào [𪄀𪃑]. It flies by night and hides by day; eating it cures illness from summer heat. The Cén [涔] River rises here and flows east into Qióng [邛] Marsh.From the English edition of Mountains & Seas.
