2 give it s najno to the range. 1 can only trace this range about fifty tniles
3 to the east ot tlic pl ice where it leaves the Table T^aiid, but it is not
4 improbable that it iiiav be connected with one ot tliose ranges which
5 will be iierealler nientioned as crossing the country of the (^aukcrs,
6 and, in that case, its length will be much more considerable than I
7 have stated.
8 It seems to be steep and high in proportion to the neigiil>oiinng
9 hills, as snow lies on it as long as on any ot those before mentioned*
10 Another range called Khurleekkce, leaves the Table Land of Ke-
11 laut nearly in latitude 30 north, and extends to the east^ as as
12 the 67 of east longitude, separi^ing the iiigli plain of Bedowki from,
13 the low andhot countiy of Seewiintnui.
14 A range of hills, risuig over tbe llrtter oountiy neerljr in latitude 89*
15 north, has already been mentioiied as Ibnning the southern boundaiy
16 of Ai^aoniststuL The spacer extending firam the sbcty-eighth de-
17 gree of east longjtudei lo the rahge of SoUmaun* and lying between
18 the'twenty-ointh and tbirtj4lrst degrees of north ktitiidei b &U of
19 hills, chiefly in ranges running east and west It also contains mmf
20 plains, jMirtictdiurly in the eastern part of the' division. The west is
21 Ihe most hiUy, and there are even traces of a veiy hig^ range in dMt
22 quarter, which seema to run north and south, and to connect afl the
23 minor ranges just mentioned. Hie existence of audi a range is
24 ibunded on the facts, that liCDoa Dbugh arid Toba are separated iiom
25 Zpope by a rai^ of mountains, which is known to be continued to
26 Tubbye, the source of the river Loca. Still fiuther south, in the same
27 line, is a high motmtain called Kund, which is said to run noith and
28 south ; similar ridges, running in the same direction, are met at
29 C'hirry (south of Kund), and at Isupper (south of Chirry), and a high
30 ran^':c continues to the left of the road from Shawl to Dander, nearly ,
31 to thr l iit mentioned place. The line I have marked out, whether
32 occupied by a range of mountains or not, certainly divides the waters
33 of this part of Afghaunistaun, some of the streams which rise in it
34 luaning east, and others west. There only remain to be mentioned
