on the left, but the well is small. Amree nullah, at present containing 

 pools of water from the late rain, is passed at ten miles ; at thirteen 

 miles the road runs through some rocky ridges and uneven hard 

 ground, passing a pool of salt water at thirteen and a half miles on the 

 left, and is then good to camp. Kurrachee town two miles. Total 146 

 miles and one furlong.

Reconnaissance of the Route from Tatta to Kurrachee, January, 1839. 



The distances stated were those given by the perambulator. The 

 sketches as far as Gorah were taken in the direction of that place, laid 

 down in the protracted route of Lieut. Maxfield, but were afterwards 

 filled in from the distances by perambulator, and by a few bearings 

 taken in the general directions, and to remarkable objects on the right 

 or left of the road. No detailed survey was attempted, and these are 

 merely intended to give an idea of the character and direction of each 

 day's march. 



From the Hill above the Camp to Googah. 



One mile — A dry nulla with deep sides, which would require to be 

 cut down. The road to this descends the hill by a very easy slope 

 covered with milk bush. The road is stony, and winds a good deal 

 among the bushes. Several baubul trees grow about the nulla or 

 canal, and it is bordered by a few bushes. The country, after crossing 

 the canal, opens out into a plain, over which the road is very good. 



Two miles and two furlongs — Enter a tamarisk jungle ; a very 

 indifferent field of wheat on the right ; a flock of sheep seen grazing. 



Two miles and six furlongs. — Cross a dry canal. A well of good 

 water with a wheel worked by bullocks, the water is not very plenti- 

 ful, but it produces a little cultivation ; steps are made to descend into 

 the well, and considerable care appears to have been bestowed upon it. 

 Some bundles of jowaree seen near the road. The country with low 

 jungle, but presenting no obstructions.
