1849.] Kohistan of the Jullundhur, 3/3 



short distance from the town are the ruins of a palace built on the right 

 bank of the canal, over which a bridge has been thrown to connect the 

 opposite portions of the domain. The buildings are rapidly falling into 

 ruins, but the dense groves of mango trees still remain, and afford evi- 

 dent signs of former magnificence. Distant about 8 miles is an extensive 

 swamp (jeel) which abounds with waterfowl and fish. It belongs to 

 one of the numberless Sings of Lahore. Adinahnuggur was built or 

 named by Adinah Beg towards the end of the last century. He was 

 the Fojdar or Military Commandant of Jalandhar.* 



21. Twelve miles E. S. E. of Adinanuggur is Andoorah, the former 

 place being south-west of Noorpoor. It is a large village built on a 

 hillock composed of compact sand, of which kind there are several in 

 the neighbourhood. It is situated within the British territory — a 

 small stream, which flows into the Beas below Hajeepoor making the 

 boundary. I saw nothing worthy of notice at this place. 



22. To Juck-o-burr is a march of 15 miles. It is situated just 

 within the hills. In this neighbourhood the general appearance of the 

 low sandstone hills as one approaches them is cheerless and inhospi- 

 table. No verdure clothes their naked flanks, and the long coarse grass 

 which covers their slopes looks scorched and dead. The adjoining 

 plain country is also any thing but pretty, the soil being sandy and 

 almost destitute of trees. The road however is tolerably good, and 

 passes through several villages. I travelled along it towards the close of 

 November last. Juck-o-burr is a small village situated in the mouth 

 of a ravine and half a mile from the right bank of the Beas at Bae-ke- 

 puttun. The river between this and Rae on the left bank is divided 

 into two parts by an island. At the abovementioned ghat the force 

 sent against Kangra in May 1846 crossed the river. On the range 

 (Hooshearpoor) behind Rae is a dense bamboo jungle filled with wild 

 boars. 



23. A winding ravine, about five miles in length, brings you on to 

 a small piece of table-land on which stands the hamlet of Koonhur, a 

 sweet pretty spot, whence is seen a confused mass of hills and glens 

 bounded to the eastward by the snowy range. Another narrow and 

 tortuous ravine nearly three miles in length, leads on to a similar piece 

 of upland, over which the road passes and descends at Dhumata into
