5 The LTrjrhimdaub rises at a piace in the Hazaureii inouatLiins,
6 eighty miles north-eft,'<t of Candahar, and ( onsiderably to tlie south of
7 the source of the {lelmund. Its eouise lies to the southward of that
8 river, which it joins below C.inshk, after ])a.ssing within a few miles
9 of Candahar, and watering the richest part of the Doorraunee coun-
10 try. It is a suiiili stream in winter, but deep ■diid rapid when swelled
11 by the melting of tlie mow. It is never more tliau one hundred, uiid
12 fifty yarda broad.

15 miles, joins die Helmwnd, near Khooniwaheen in the Gwmaeer. - It

17 Tlie FmraliHrood riiea near that last mentioned, and is s mndi
18 move oonsidBrBble stream. It is uncertain whether it reaches die
19 hdce' of Scestaun or is lost in the aands ; but» in either case^ its oouiae
20 is not lam than two hundrad miles long. Hie Turauk rises near
21 Mooklcoor, and at first pursues a soirfh^^wcsteffy ooutse along the
22 road to Candahar. It then turns west, peases to the south of Canda-
23 har, and joins the Ur^undaub, about twenty-five miles west of that
24 dty. The Tumuk, generally speaking, runs through a plain country,
25 and is not remarkable for rapidity. To the south of Candahar, it le*
26 ceives the Urghessaur), wliich rises near Caufirchauh, and waters a
27 country which is known by its name. It is a rapid torrent, never
28 remains deep for more than two or tlivcc. days, and leaves its bed dry
29 for a great part of the year. Still lower down, the Turnuk receives
30 the Shorundaum, a petty rivulet, and the Doree, which rises in the
31 neighbourhood of Rabaut. Notw^ithstanding tliese additions, it seems
32 rather to tlecrease in size from the losses it suflers from the dryness
33 of the couiiLiy, and the demands of the cultivation ; so that, irifter a
34 course of two hundred mUes, it is still asmiall stream when it joins
35 the Uij^undaoh.
