Ditto ditto. 



A walled village with considerable culti- 

 vation around, water from cutcha wells, 

 outside; at this time scarce and insufficient 

 for a small force. The road good, over a 

 level desert plain, crossing a large canal at 

 six miles, twenty yards broad and fifteen 

 feet deep, with steep banks ; cultivation 

 commences at one mile from Oodauna. 

 Forage abundant, supplies few. 



A large walled town, water in canals but 

 indifferent, much cultivation and several 

 other villages around, at a distance of from 

 one to three miles. Road over a level 

 country, but more bushy, passing one village 

 on the right at three miles and the ruins of 

 old Oodauna, with some cutcha wells, and 

 two or three large villages on left, at seven 

 miles. Supplies plentiful at Kunda. 



Two walled villages, with considerable 

 cultivation around, on the edge of the 

 Runn desert ; water from small cutcha 

 wells, road good all the way, and for the 

 first two and a half miles through cultiva- 

 tion, then a desert plain until within one 

 and a quarter mile of Burshooree. Forage 

 abundant, but few supplies. 



Two walled villages on the eastern side 

 of the Runn, or desert, with a little culti- 

 vation, and one good pucka well. The 

 road over the Runn is very good. Parties 

 with laden cattle should march just so late 

 in the evening, as to arrive across it by 

 day-light Forage abundant, few supplies. 



A large square fort and a village, the 

 I village at present in ruins, having been 

 I destroyed some time ago, by a plundering
