5. SIL RIVER AND BASALA RIVER, NEAR MURAT. 
The Oil-springs—The place where the oil is found is at the con- 
fluence of the Sil and Basala, 13 miles east of Murat, which lies at the 
east end of the steep limestone range of the Kairi-Murat ridge. 
The distance from Rawalpindi is about 10 miles. Cart tracks lead 
over the flat country as far as 2 miles east of the oil-place, which 
is reached by a camel track crossing the steep canyon of the river, 
which is about 20 m. deep.
