1840.] Kurrachee, Tatta, and Sehwan, Scinde* 911 



half furlongs south of Kotree ; for one mile from its junction with the 

 great river it contains a good deal of water. It is laid down on the 

 route from Kurrachee to Hyderabad direct. 



The streams are frequently called after the tribes that are in the 

 habit of residing on their banks, and indeed the villages or camps also 

 derive their names from the same source ; " Hoja Jamote," " Hoja," the 

 chief of that party, and " Jamote/' the name of the tribe, " Shah tra Gote," 

 ^'Muhumud Khan ke Tando," are of this derivation. 



Hills are numerous in the northern and north-east portion of this 



Hills, tract, and it will be easy to trace them by reference to the map. 



The ranges are — 



1 . The nearest to Kurrachee, ending in Cape Monge. 



2. The Pubb range, of which that mountain is the highest point. 



3. The Sahkan Hill ; the Morethe ; and Har More Pubb. 



4. Jutteel Lukki, Karra, and a number of other detached hills, which 

 bear the names given them in the map. It will be seen that the Lu- 

 kki mountains do not hold the place assigned them in most of the maps. 

 They run from the Jutteel range nearly south-west towards JHydera- 

 bad, and from the Lukki pass (the town of Lukki near the pass pro- 

 bably, gives it the name of Lukki) by projecting into the Indus. This 

 pass is now nearly destroyed by the force of the current of the river, 

 and probably next year will not exist. In these hills hot springs 

 are found, also alum and sulphur. The fort of Runnei, which I shall 

 have occasion to describe hereafter, is situated hereabouts. 



The Jutteel run nearly south-west from Sehwan, are very lofty and 

 Jutteel. steep ; they extend to Dooba, or Domba, sixty-six miles, 

 and the road direct from Kurrachee to Sehwan runs between them 

 and another range, equally high. 



It may be said that the tract of country from Soameanee to Sehwan, 

 and from thence to Kurrachee, contains scarcely any thing but hills 

 and mountain streams. Lead, antimony, alum, sulphur, and copper, are 

 found in these hills. 



The forts are Munoora, Runnie, near the Indus ; Bamboor, near 

 Forts. Gharra, Killa Kote, near Tatta ; the old castle called Kaffer 

 Killa, near Sehwan. 



Munoora will be found described in the report by Captain Harris 

 Munoora. and myself on Kurrachee.
