1843.] General Report. 57 



Ghor-ka-Landhee to the Peepree River. 



Two miles and six furlongs. — Open plain on both sides, of consider- 

 able extent. 



Five miles, and four furlongs. — Hadjee Oomur-ka-Landhee. A well 

 about sixty feet deep, cut through sandstone, with a sloping descent, 

 and steps into it, eight feet in diameter, and one foot and a half of green 

 looking water. 



Seven miles.— Enter the other road. The road is in general good, but 

 in some few places, sandy and heavy. The country is level, scatter- 

 ed with milk bush, quite desert, and no appearance of cultivation. 



Thirteen miles and five furlongs. — Peepree river, and ruins of 

 Landhee. 



General Report. 



The general direction of Karrachee from Tatta, is about W. \ N., 

 and the distance fifty-eight and half miles, nearly, by the perambu- 

 lator, from the top of the hill above camp to the Fuqueer's tank, 

 at the former place. The road itself presents no obstructions which 

 could not be easily removed, except being in several places deep and 

 heavy from sand. 



The country, with the exception of that about Googah, and in the 

 vicinity of the Mulleer river, is at present little better than a perfect 

 desert ; at these places there is the appearance of a little cultivation. 



The scarcity of water is so great at present, that this route is im- 

 passable for troops, except in small detachments of from 100 to 200 

 men. There is a good supply at the Mulleer river, and at Googah, 

 35^ miles distant from each other; but at the Peepree river and 

 Garah, it is both very scarce and bad. Kurrachee itself is by no 

 means particularly well supplied, and additional wells would be re- 

 quired, were any force to be stationed there. 



Grain is procurable, but in no great quantity, at Garah, and of 

 course at Kurrachee ; but it would be unsafe to depend upon that place, 

 even for any in considerable supply. 



Dry forage is procurable in small quantity at Garah and Kur- 

 rachee ; but not equal to the consumption of even a small body of 

 cavalry ; what may be procured from villages near the road is altoge-
