jungle and grass, but Trak should be the halting place, making 

 Kuttajee the next stage. 



Kuttajee Mukam at Kuttajee river, twelve miles and three fur- 

 longs. — The river about six furlongs on right, has good pools of water, 

 which never fail, especially at the base of the hills here, where it 

 passes through the range to the S. W. Forage as above ; the road is 

 in general good, excepting where it crosses some nullahs, and is a little 

 confined between the river and some low hills on left at the eighth 

 and ninth miles, where it is stony, then good, through jungle bushes 

 to Kuttajee. 



Goorban Camp at Goorban River, six miles and four furlongs.

 and a half miles, a rocky ghaut or defile commences, and continues

 rough ; it crosses two stony nullahs, at the bottom ; at four miles 

 some more rising ground is passed from the nullah, when the road is 

 good again along the Kuttajee river to camp, crossing the river at the 

 junction. 



Dumba Camp, ten miles and two furlongs, — is on the Dumba 

 river, which had good pools and a small stream of water running. 

 Forage is procurable by the grass-cutters in considerable quantities 

 about Dumba, but more plentifully a few miles before reaching 

 it; the road is in general good, and passes Peepulwaree river and 

 Mukam at six and a quarter miles, which has water in some small 

 wells at present dug in its bed, and a good deal of short grass and 

 thin jungle. 



Camp Kurrachee to the lines of the Grenadier Regiment by the 

 high road, seventeen miles and one and a half furlong. — This road is that
