Remarks. 



At five miles three furlongs pass the village 

 of Roree, where the guns were halted, and from 

 whence desert of twenty- six miles is crossed ; 

 road good on a plain all the way. Rojan is a 

 poor village, with few huts, water bad, and in 

 three wells built of burnt brick, no supplies of 

 forage for camels and kirby for horses ; en- 

 camping ground South-east of the village. 



Road good from the last march. Janeeder- 

 rah is a small ghurry, in which Commissariat 

 supplies are stored and guarded by a party of 

 infantry from Shikarpoor. This village is de- 

 serted ; water in five wells, two of which are 

 now dry ; sufficient forage for camels and 

 kirby for horses, supplies very limited ; en- 

 camping ground on the East of the village. 



In this march pass four dry nullas, road 

 good. Jagghan is a small village with 60 houses 

 and few shops, water from five kutcha wells, 

 forage for camels in abundance, and kirby 

 for horses, supplies very limited ; encamping 

 ground on the South-east of the village. 



Road good, through thick jungle ; having 

 no nullas to cross in this march. Shikarpoor 

 is a large town, with considerable supplies and 

 population ; encamping ground on the South- 

 east of the town, where there are several wells. 



In this march cross eight dry nullas, 

 road good through jungle. Kheahyee is a 

 small village with about 100 houses and 8 

 shops, supplies few, water from two pucka and 

 ten cutcha wells ; plenty of forage for camels 

 and kirby for horses ; encamping ground on 

 the South-east of the village. 



Cross 17 nullas in this march, road good, 

 but through thin jungle. At seven miles on 

 the left of it, the river Indus is met, and on 

 the right bank of which Sukkur is situated. 

 It is the Head Quarters of the Brigade in 

 Upper Scinde.
