The last is said by Griffith to be the Chuckra of natives, used in 

 making paper; this is surely a mistake. The bark of the roots is 

 used for matches, but nowhere is paper made from it, as far as we 

 could learn, and we made many inquiries. Acacia dumosa is very 

 abundant and dwarfish. 



In this Doab the Prosopis spicigera disappears, and its place is 

 taken by the white-thorned Mimosa and the Celastrus spinosus. 

 The Phulahi (Acacia dumosa) is common, but dwarfish. The 

 Orthauthera viminea, which is also common at the foot of the hills 

 in the Deyrah Dhoon, and whose fibres are well adapted for making 

 ropes, is also very common, particularly amongst the deep rocky 

 ravines. In this Doab we first meet with the Astragalus (Caragana) 

 spinosissimus, a plant abundant in Cashmere. The Cowzeitun, 

 or wild Olive, is, too, first met with after leaving Piawulpindee,

 low trees, and covers the surrounding hills, and associated with it 

 a Dodonsea, a species quite distinct from the Dodonaea Burmanniana 

 of southern India. Proceeding to the northwards towards Hazara, 

 we pass over a dry clayey country, intersected in all directions 

 with ravines, but which, as we approach Kurreepore, becomes more
