Kiu mi tho. — Kundoz I suspect. 



Chikhini ; Cherkez, Circassia. From Kundoz the natural step is 

 to Indurab and Ghoor. I have no doubt that a leaf has here taken its 

 wrong place — for all the Chinese books, or perhaps Tibet and Mon- 

 gholian, are written on separate single leaves — rather boards. Itis 

 most probable the misplaced portion commences at "au sud**" and 

 ends with " du retour." 



An attempt is made at the end to identify these places. 



Houo- — Ghoor. Of all the countries and places known to Europeans 

 by this name, I believe, the Ghoor to lie west of Bulkh, east of 

 Meroo — and north of Kunduhur and Herat — but we find a Ghoree w r ell 

 defined on our maps east of Kholum — visited by Izzutallah, who calls 

 it a well known town depending on Kundoz. Houo si to, Ghooristan, 

 will be its district. 



* An tha lo fo — Indurab. We have mention of this place in al- 

 most all the histories of any movements between Tooran and Hindoos- 

 tan ; it is given as a halting place of Temoor ; stands recorded in the 

 Ayeen Akbaree as east of Talkan ; Izzutallah places Indurab one 

 journey S. E. from Naruen. Sadek Esfuhanee mentions it as a town of 

 Budukhshan, rather Tokharistan. 

 Au sud-ouest on vient a 



26. Fo Ma lang. u% 



Fo kia lan — Buklan — placed by Izzutallah at two journies from 

 Ghooree. A halting-place of Temoor before he marched to the attack 

 of the Siyuh Posh Kafirs.
