6 narrow valley, from that to Kandahar along the King's high road by Ghizoee

8 tliey approach this road, they may be considered as separate, for in the

14 appear to be any particularly high hills round it ; but it must evidently be
15 placed on higher land than Cabul, for it appears that a stream runs from

19 BOuth<east southerly to the Indus. The Gomul rises south-east of it, and

21 Ghiznee run direct from it, which is a strong proof it is situated on very
22 liigh laud. The high laud ot Gniznee appears to. run by the weht of Logur
