A further 50 li west stands Mount Tuó [橐]. Its trees include many trees of heaven and Bèi [𣖾]. Its southern slope has plentiful metals and jade, its northern slope much iron and mugwort. The Tuó [橐] River rises here and flows north into the Hé [河]. In it are many Xiū Pì Yú [脩辟], like Mǐn with white mouths, whose voices resemble owls; eating them cures white ringworm.From the English edition of Mountains & Seas.
