16 ever, -firom each other in so many points, that it will be expedient to
17 treat themaeparately, and I shall b^gin with the £imauks who inhabit
18 the western half of the mountains.
19 The country of the Eimauks is reckoned less mountainous than
20 that of the Hazaurehs ; but even in it, the hills present a steep and
21 loftv face towards Heraut : the roads wind throucirh vjilleys and over
22 high ridges, and some of the forts are so inaccessible that all visitors
23 are obliged to ho drawn up with ropes by tlie garrison. Still the
24 rallies are culti\ ated, and produce wheat, barley, and millet ; and
25 almonds, pom^ranates, and barberries are found wild. The north-
26 west of the country, which is inhabited by the Jutnsheedees, is more
27 level and fertile, the hills are sloping and well wooded, the valleys
28 rich and watered by the river Margus or Moorghaub. The south of
29 the Tymunee lands also contains wide and grassy valleys. The whole
30 of the mountains aie full of springs.
