1844.] 1838 and 1 839, by Hajee Abdun Nubee, of Kabul. 823 



3d October.— Proceeded 8 kos over a level road, sometimes in a rivu- 

 let well watered, in a North and N.N.W. direction to Keehan on the 

 Purallee river. 



4th October. — Proceeded over an ascent 10 kos over a tolerable road 



except for the * where there is a defile or tank water on the 



road which depends on the rain. The general direction of the road 

 is North some of the stages. Lulor, a place not inhabited. 



5th October. — Proceeded 10 kos over a level road, then hilly, and 

 Jamak. partly in the Kanojee rivulet, and over the Meeran Kush 

 hill and Kanojee to Jamak, with no habitations except in the neigh- 

 bouring hills, where there are Mongul shepherds. The neighbourhood 

 of this place is generally the scene of the Mongul's depredations, and 

 of the Beezanjoos under Futteh Ally. At this stage there is water 

 and several kenhon trees. 



6th October Proceeded 10 kos to Toorkabar, over a level road for 



Toorkabar. % k 0S) where there are 2 roads ; the left one very hilly, the 

 right a better one over the Baran lake, on which there is no water, 

 whereas there is some on the left. 



Baran was the name of the man who made the road. This road in 

 the present state is not a gun one. The greatest difficulty extends for 

 120 paces. Two kos before arriving at the stage, is a place called Koh-i- 

 Bahar Khan, where a halt is sometimes made. On passing the Baran 

 lake the climate sensibly changes, and the heat of Mukran and Beloo 

 is at an end. 



Toorkabar means the cliff of the Turk ; and report says, that a Turkish 

 courier passing this cliff in the night, was by a false step, precipitated 

 into the rivulet below. 



Jth October. — Proceeded 11 kos to Wad, the first 2 over a stony, 

 * thence 3 kos dry land, called Dara-kala, where the ter- 

 ritories of the Monguls and Beezanjoo separate. Beyond Docaliata to 

 the West, a rivulet on part of the road, where there are some zaitoon 

 trees. Thence the road over a stony descent for 5 kos to Sar-i-Aph, 

 an excellent place for a military station ; one kos further is Wad. 



Wad has to the East the chappar (range) and to the West, Mashhai. 

 Wad. There are two villages; that on the West of the rivulet 

 belongs to Hindoos, and that on the East to Mussulmans.
