rally called " Buchachaee Shaabadeen," 

 the sons of Shaabadeen. They reside at 

 Kelat-i-Ghiljee and in the forts of this 

 district, between the territories of the 

 Ameer and the Sirdars, and are uncon- 

 trolled by either, although nominally their 

 country is under the rule of the latter. 



A small fort. Our route from the river 

 lay amongst low hills — road stony, but 

 passable for wheel carriages. 



Black mail was levied of us at this 

 place by Shaabadeen's men, who had 

 heard of our being in the vicinity. 



Small garden and khareez in the dis- 

 trict of Koorrum. Passed several forts 

 and hhails with slips of cultivation. At 

 the 14th mile Deewalik, a ruined fort, 

 which is said to have been once a con- 

 siderable place. As far as Deewalik the 

 country is inhabited by the Hotukee 

 branch of the tribe of Ghiljees — the district 

 of Koorrum is inhabited by Takhees. The 

 river Turnuk two and three miles distant 

 behind some low hills to the westward. 



Several forts ; the road from Koorum 

 over undulating ground, passable for wheel 

 carriages. Khails and forts on either 

 hand, but at some distance from the road. 

 At the 8th mile, Gloondee, said to be a 

 large village. We passed it in the dark, 

 the residence of one of the sons of Shaaba- 

 deen. 



At the Kulla-i-Jaafferee, we again en- 

 tered the valley of the Turnuk. Forts 

 and khails are seen in every direction — 

 rich fertile tract of country on the banks 

 of the stream. 



Crossed the Turnuk, water reaching to 

 horses' knees. 



The first fort of the district of Mookoor, 

 which forms a part of the government of 

 Cabool.
