Balozai and Metrazai are in the Surkhab ; the latter place being on 
the watershed at the head of the Surkhab and Zhob Valleys. 
Since the above values were determined, Mr. W. C. Price has carried 
a triangulation from the Indus Valley Series across the Sind desert and 
up to Quetta. This connexion will enable the fair maps of Southern 
Afghanistan to be compiled on a base as rigorously accurate as other por- 
tions of the Survey of India.

The Kuram Valley Force, under Major-General Roberts, ¢. B., v. ¢., be- 
ing smaller than the others, the Survey operations have also been on a less 
extensive scale than those with the other two columns and have been con- 
fined almost entirely to the Khost, Kuram and Hariab Valleys. From

Smith, Adjt. of the 3rd Sikhs, was attached to the Survey party in Novem-

circumstances. 
Capt. Woodthorpe accompanied the Force in the rapid advance in 
November 1878 from Thall to the Peiwar, partly along the right bank of 
the Kuram River, vid Kapianga, Ahmed-i-Shamu, Esor, Hazar Pir, the 
Darwadza Pass and Kuram, plane-tabling along the route. He took part 
in the military operations of the 28th November and 2nd and 8rd December, 
and had a very narrow escape during the action on the 2nd. 
He had gone forward with the advance when they reached the stock- 
ades on the Spin Gawai at dawn ; and when all the enemy had been driven 
out he returned with a message from Colonel Brownlow of the 72nd to the
