2 is said to be torty coss, and the perambul^or makes it sixty-one miJes. I
3 have, therefore, allowed one mile fpur furlongs to each com in the routes
4 firom these places to Bukhur, and deducted one in ten fiir winding, agreeaUe
5 to the nature of tlie covmtiy.
6 The fecond gmnd point I fi^ai was Oibul ( I have good reasons for placing
7 this a very little north of Pcshour, first from the bearings with the theodolite
8 from Pe-'*hoitr of Sutfeid Koh, which is situated three coss, or four miles and
9 a half, south of Nimla, on the high road from Peshour to Cabul, and more
10 than half way } it appears that this village cannot be to the north of Peshour,
11 SulBud Koh bearing from south-vest 86* to 88* 30^. Thia tinm Nunfai

13 the direction of the road, and for the remailkder I have three routes from
14 Khugulwala, two from Dcra Ismaeel Khan, two from Kohat, and many from
15 Peshour, all of which meet at Cabul and tbnn great angles : all these point-s
16 from which routes were taken being fixed by observation, together with
17 the bearings oi' Sufikid Koii, there can be no doubt but Cabul is near the
18 truth.
19 I heve allowed one mfle aix fiirlraga to eadi ooie from ell tineeplaoei, ex*
20 ccpt Peshour, where they are found to be one mile fiwr liiiioi^ or Kioffn
21 CO8B ; but from Dera to Kohat I found the coss in general one mile six fur-
22 longs, and sometimes a little more. This last excess I h^ve allowed for
23 whiding, and have set oft' Uie full distance of one mile and MX linlrm^s, tliough
24 the country is hilly ^ and notwithstanding this, it only tiirows Cabui ibur
25 niflei north of Peshour ; had I deducted niore for windini^ it would have
26 hrou^ Cabul still fiirther south. In the printed nuqw, Cabul ia put norths
27 ^est of Peshour, but it is evident the mistake has arisen in placing Peshour
28 above a degree too far to the southward. Its latitude is 34" 9' 30''. The
29 COS* from Peshour to Cabul i> one mile four furlongs, being King's co<?!«.
30 Tlie tlistance from Peshour to Attock, in King's coss, is thirty, and by tiie
31 jperambulator il was ibrty 'five miles one fiu-long. From this I have calculated
32 the distaace from Peshour to Csbul, and have allowed one in e%ht fiir
33 wnidin^ in oonseqiHence of die loed bong throu^ a 'ntf hiUj Uountiy eD
34 tiie way. These are my chief reaswis for placing Cabul as I harei and sup*
35 posing it to be correct, I take it as a point from wHdi I mean to aettle the
36 position of Kaud-dtar.
