farther east than its present place of junction with the Ghag-ghar, ancl 
its old bed can be distinctly traced. At the period in question it did 
not unite with the Ghag-ghar at all, but passing Tihwanah about six 
miles and a half on the east, ran away towards the south-south-west, 
and united with the Chitang a little west of Bhadara ; and the two 
rivers then lost their name, and the united channels were known as the 
Hakra or Wahindah, as already stated. 436 
“ In going from Kaithal towards Muug Ala by Sher Garb and 
Gula-har, the Ghag-ghar passes the latter place close under its walls. 
Five Jcuroh farther down is Mandohi, and the river passes north of it,” 
but now, it is close to it on the west ; and beyond Makodar, some four 
miles lower down, and about three miles and a half south-east of Mung 
Ala, the Suweti or Chhu-hey unites with the Ghag-ghar, which then 
separates into two branches as before mentioned. 
In going from Mung A'la to Fath-abad, at the same period, in the 
direction of south-west, you first went “ two kuroh and a half south- 
south-west to Handhah, 48 ? on the bank of the Ghag-ghar, and in the 
Jamal-pur jparganah; and, after that, four kuroh farther in the same 
direction to Haidar-Walah on the other side of the river ; and half-way 
between those two places the Ghag-ghar had to be crossed. From 
thence you had to go five kuroh to Shukr-pur, 4S3 which was also on the 
banks of the Ghag-ghar, which ran close by it on the right hand 
(north).” Row, you have to cross one channel of that river from 
Mung Ala to reach Handball ; and both it and Haidar-Walah are 
close to the west bank of another channel, and Shukr-pur is at 
present some two miles from the banks of the Ghag-ghar. Moreover, 
in 1821, when Captain John Colvin of the Honourable Company’s 
Engineers surveyed these rivers, the present southern-most of the two 
without mentioning it. On this occasion the Badshah’s son, Humayun, was des¬ 
patched from the right wing of his army to Hisar Firuzah, some ninety miles 
S. S. W., against the Afghan troops there, but from Mr. Dowson’s version it would 
appear that Humayun was with his father all the time. Hisar Firuzah, the revenue 
of which was estimated at a Tcaror (of tangahs ?) was sacked, and was afterwards 
conferred upon Humayun, together with a lcaror in money. 
Clihat (mis-called “ Chuth ” in the maps) was a mah&ll of the sarlcdr of Sahrind 
in Akbar Badshah’s reign ; its revenue amounted to 750,944 dams, and free grants 
computed at 49,860 dams ; the people were Afghans and Raj-puts; and they had 
to furnish 650 horsemen, and 1100 foot for militia purposes.

to the Grhag-ghar instead.

“ Shukoorpoor,” twelve miles south-west of Mung Ala.
