3 an abrupt diff, ' about nine hundred feet high, opposite the viUi^ of
4 Fbnoiallee. Its whole length is not above sixty miles, but it desem»
5 to be mentioned, as it mariB the boundary between the phun of the
6 Indus and the hilly country which I am next to mention.
7 The next branch, which may be called the Salt Range, ^loots out
8 from the south-eastern side of Sufiaid Coh, and extends in a south-
9 easterly direction, bv the south of Teeree to Calla-baugh, It there
10 crosses the Indus, stretches across part ot" the Funjmib, and ends at
11 JellaiiIpor)r, on the right \>ank of the Hvfiaspes. It becomes lower
12 as it tjets tarther from the mountains ol iSol innun. This ranjje is
13 both hi<;her and broader than the last. It abounds in sah, which is
14 dug out in various forms at dillV i c ni phu es. To the eastward, it
15 yields a rock salt of a brownish < ulour, which is imported into Hin-
16 dooslitn, arid kiiiiv. ri by the naiiu: of l^^ore salt.
17 The third range, to the northward, extends from tfie eastern side
18 of Sufiald Coh, straight to tlie Indus, which it crosses, but doi>$ not
19 rwch 6r beyond its eistem side. As it lies durii^ the whole of its
20 eonne betiroea the durty-lUnl and thuty-fonfth fines of latitude* I
21 AaU call it the range of d4f north latitnde. It is much hi|^ thaa
22 my of the other Mnges, and, thoui^ its valleys are wider, its ridjge is
23 move diiBcdt tb pass. Like those ranges, it decreases in height aa it
24 runs eastward, but as &r east as Cohant, the snow Mes on its summits
25 tiU the spring is &r adiranced, and a little snow fidls in winter even
26 on the parts towards the Indus. Hie hig^iest parts of it bear pineq,
27 and the lower oliTes.
28 Between the Range of d4° and the Ssk Range, lie some plains and
29 TaUeys, belonging to the tribes of Bungusli and Khuttuk. Tliejr slope
30 towards the Indus, but are separated from the river by a low range of
31 liiUs running north and south. In the northein part of the space be>
32 iweeu the Salt Range and that of Punniallee, the valleys of Dour,
33 Bunnoo, ^lutuk, and Esaukhail, descend like steps from the Soli-
34 maun ee ridge to the Indus, in the southern part of the same space
35 are the hills and valleys of the Murwnts, and the desart valley of
