Warkee river, near its junction with Chorla river. — The Warkee 

 river is small, and joins the Chorla river about

the banks of the of water, at the foot of a rock, which terminates 

 Loond hill, and which lasts all the year. Warkee 

 camp appears to be the usual halting place, and had more grass about 

 it than where the dragoons encamped ; there are two roads which se- 

 parate at the place where the Dheeng river is crossed about four miles 

 from Roree, one running on each side of Loond hill and meeting 

 again one mile in front of Warkee; the road running to the right 

 of Loond hill, along the Chorla river, is longer, but reported better. 

 The halting place by it is called Chorla Mukam, near some ancient 

 tombs, where there were also fine pools of water in the river. The 

 other road is more stony, as it crosses the Dheeng river two or 

 three times. Camp at the Mulleeree river, ten miles. Some good 

 pools of water stated to last all the year. Forage scarce, but pro- 

 curable by grasscutters about the river and on the hills on the right ; 

 the ranges of hills on each side approach much closer, and at four 

 miles the road enters the defile of the Joorung river, and continues 

 along its bed and banks for about three miles very rough and heavy, 

 and some rocky nullahs afterwards are crossed before reaching the 

 camp, on Pokrun river, twelve miles and three and a half fur- 

 longs. Extensive pieces of deep water, and a small stream running. 

 There is no village seen since leaving Roree, though some of the shep- 

 herds of the country brought in some goats here ; there is a good deal of 

 thinly scattered jungle amongst which the shepherds' huts are located. 

 The road continues to ascend slightly until the fifth mile, crossing 

 four or five rocky nullahs running into Mulleeree river; it is then 

 better with a slight descent, and crosses some nullahs running south- 

 ward into the Pokrun river. Forage more plentiful, but procured in 

 the same manner by the grass-cutters, about the river banks. 



Kajoor camp on the Kajoor river, nine miles and four and a half 

 furlongs. — Good pools of water. This is the same river with the Pokrun, 

 but the forage not so plentiful ; the road is pretty good in general, 

 crossing the river at the sixth mile ; at the eighth mile it is confined 

 between the hills and the river for a short distance, where it is rocky, 

 and crosses the river again, to camp ; roads run off here, and about
