the chief of Nohskue a district most near to the position indicated. A 

 stream called Meet Manduh in the Peeshing valley is not far from the 

 required position. 



Scind river. — This limits this designation to the portion of the 

 Cheenab between the junction of the Rawee and the junction of the 

 Indus — from Tolumba to Mittun. 



Interest may attend a review of the opinions entertained by the 

 natives of Scinde on the history of their own cities. Deewal, 

 Buhnoor, Nugar and Teeruh were the names of towns succeeding each 

 other on the ruins of the predecessor. They were all located in the 

 Sagure Gharuh or Sagwurruh* 



At last the district appears to have obtained the name of Tutuh ; 

 under which title the Jam Nuzamoldeen, known as the Jam Hindoo, 

 formed the modern city in the year 905 of the Hejuree : — the original 

 town by him enlarged into Tatuh was called Zublak. 



Nueroon Koot was a celebrated fort situated near the modern 

 Hyderabad. It capitulated to Mohummud Kasem the early conqueror 

 of Scinde, by degrees the place was neglected and the fort became a 

 heap of ruins until Mean Gholam Shah Koolee Khan from them raised 

 the modern fort of Hyderabad. 



Sheowestan, Seewan Sehwan, is one of the most noted places of 

 antiquity on the country. Sometimes independent sometimes subject 

 to either Tuttuh or Alore. 



Alore constituted the capital of the earliest known Rajahs of Upper 

 Scinde and was captured by Mohummud Kasem. Subsequently its 

 canals and wells having dried up it was deserted for towns nearer to 

 the river as Bhukur, Sukhur, and Loohuree now called Rooree. So 

 that Alore is now considered a village of Bhukur.
