2 KiDid. Eflit of tihose nunmtainsi I have described diflerent langee
3 of bills* as nmnii^ east towsids the ningeof Solimaun. The most
4 tootberty of tlwse bounds A^^kannistsun on the souIIl Betwoen
5 that lange end the next, lie tfie vallej of Zawuia and the plain of
6 Tul and CShooteeallee. The latter places are in one plain of oonsi-
7 derable extent, of hard day like that of the Indus. Zawura is much
8 narrower than TutXIhooteeallee, but both are fertile, and inhabited
9 hy Speen Teieens, a diviaiott of the Al^iaun tribe that possesses
10 Hsheen.
11 To the north of these, and divided from them by hills, is Boree, a
12 more extensive plain than cither of the former, and rich and well wa-
13 tered. Other hills, some of which appear to be a continiMition of
14 Tukkatoo, bound Boree on the north, and separate it iirom other dis-
15 tricts less level and less fertile. r . • .
16 North of this tract, is Zhobe, so ( ;iIIp(1 from the river which waters
17 it. It is a diversified country, but tlie wliol<- is ill cultivated : some
18 parts are hilly: in I'tliers are open plains; ami on the river are plains
19 covered with i tiiiiarii.k trees and busiies. To the north-west of Zhobe
20 is Khyssore, which seems to be a valley under the hills which support
21 the table land of Seeoona Daug : x>n the north-east Zhobe opens on
22 the valley of the Cdmul, and on the east ittiM theliilly^coiintflesiin-
