mountains one day S. of fort of Anushoog, and runs N. by Peeloo fort 

 through the Ashahoon pass, and the districts of Mangaun, to Asa. The 

 united river, now rims N. W. through the Ame district along S. of 

 Tagni Dhawan range to Yagne, where it meets the Dowlutsooeh 

 river, which itself has four branches. 



1. The most easterly of these is the Ashoohun, which rises "West 

 of the Ashoohun pass ; thence through Dowlutsooeh ; meets the 

 (2) Hautehkoot, which rises mainly from Lake Toong, a day's march 

 N. W. of Hautehkoot S. W. to Tamor ; then turns E. and S. E. to 

 Manlook, then to 1ST. and N. E. to Yahoog, where it meets the Ashoo- 

 hun, two and half days, N. E. of Hautehkoot ; thence N. and N, E. by 

 Polum two days N. N. E. of Yagne, where they meet the Selekute, 



3. Selekute rises at Jam one day N. of Poosht-e-Kaus, thence by 

 Selekute, and thence E. to Lake Zal, where the Dhan meets it from 

 the S. also, rising one day N. of Pooshtukar. Erom Lake Zal E. S. E. 

 to Polum, it meets the Dowlutam, which thence continues E. one 

 and a half day to Maloo, where it meets the (4) Aushak, which rises 

 W. of Kashauk at base of Yagni Dhawan, thence through great 

 barren plains to Malor. Thence the Dowlutsud runs E. through 

 the Mangan range, and joins Yarkund at Yagni. 



The Yarkund thence runs N. W. three days to Aneuchan where 

 it receives the Chimb, which rises one and a half days more W, 

 thence. Then the river forms an angle and runs JST. E. by Ashelook 

 to Yarkund. 



Note on the Ranges and rivers N. W. of Indus and Gilgit. 



The 1st or most northerly is the valley of Pinghit or Ustikhan 

 or Zairauneh, where the E. branch of the Kanka rises. 



2. The Spung valley, an easterly continuation of the last ; in it 

 is the Spung lake and source of Ankahoo. 



3. The large Peeloo valley. 



. 4. The Ashnoog, S. E., and divided from the East by the Anaus- 

 hoog mountains. 



To the south of these valleys lies the Peeloo range, whose name 

 however varies in different parts of its length. Most north-wester- 

 ly it is called Pingut, then Spung or Makoo, then Peeloo, and the 

 easterly portion Meiil Ho or Anaushoog S. E. of that Hunzye, and 

 further on Khangram or Bulti, sinking away into the Oskardo hills.
