Siree, 14 miles through an uninhabited road, a desolate fort, a fine 

 stream ; the Pass commences 4 miles out of Sakhee Sarwar by a 

 steep descent ; it then runs through a ravine, whose bed is covered 

 with large stones. It is commanded by the steep faces of the hill. 

 The mountains have been deserted on account of the frequent attacks 

 of these mountaineers; viz Jeta Omalanee and Bidda Amadanee ; both 

 however under the command of Jal& Kh&n Logharee. 



Ascent of the Sulliman range (Kalee Koh,) at a place called Ootpa- 

 lana, or camel saddle : some say from the shape of the hill : some say 

 from the steepness which causes even a saddle to fall off in the ascent. 



This is a zig-zag road for horses and camels, the face of the moun- 

 tain covered with loose stones that each shower brings down. There 

 is an easier road to the south that goes to Racknee, but not for a mo- 

 ment to be reckoned a gun road.
