1848.] through Afghanistan and India. 15 



Thence at 500 li (83 miles) to the S. W. 



No. 15 — Ho-li-si-mi-kia or Ho-tsiu. (Perhaps Alasadda Marvi, 

 or Alexandria Margiane, the modern Mei*v.) 



From So-mo-kian, at 300 li (50 miles) to the S. W. 



No. 16 — Ko-shwang-na (Kesh, as already noticed in No. 11.) At 

 300 li (50 miles) to the S. E. was the Iron Gate. (This is the well 

 known Derbend-i-Ahina, commonly called Kolugha ; a proof of the cor- 

 rectness of the identification of Kesh.) 



No. 17 — Tu-ho-lo, (Tochari of Ptolemy, — Landresse.) To the north 

 of the Oxus and to the south of the Iron Gate. (It therefore corre- 

 sponds exactly with the Tokhdrestan of the Musalman Geographers.) 



Below Tu-ho-lo lies 



No. 18 — Tan-mi, on the north of the Fu-sse-su. {Termed to the 

 north of the Wa/csh-su, or Oxus river.) 



Thence to the E. 



No. 19 — Chhi-ao-yan-na. (Chagdnidn.) 



Thence to the E. 



No. 20 — Hu-lu-mo. (Perhaps the Hamurdn, {y1jj+*, of Edrisi, 30 

 miles to the eastward of Saganian.) 



Thence to the E. 



No. 21 — Iu-man, which stretches to the Oxus on the S. W. (This 

 must be the Shumdn or Nomdn of Ibn Haukal, the Shumdn of Abul- 

 feda, and the Sumdn of Edrisi, which was 93 miles to the eastward of 

 Hamuran.) 



Thence to 



No. 22 — Kiu-ho-yan-na. (Perhaps the Andidn of Edrisi and the 

 Alubdn of Ibn Haukal.) 

 Thence to the E. 



No. 23 — Hu-sha. (The district of Waksh of the Mahomedan Geo- 

 graphers.) 



Thence to 



No. 24 — Ko-tu-lo. (The well known district of Khutldn on the 

 northern bank of the Upper Oxus.) 



Thence to. 



No. 25 — Kiu-mi-tho, the mountains of Tsung-ling, and to the 

 S. W. the river Fa-tsu. (These are clearly the Vallis Komedormn, and 

 the Komedce Monies of Ptolemy, with the river Oxus to the S. W.)
