14 This is the second largest of the Punjab rivers. We eroiaed it in July,
15 but it had not attained its f(i\\ height ; I was told it rose seven or eight feet
16 higher in August. It measured from edge to edge of water, one mile, one
17 furlong, tiiu-ty-tive perches. The soundings, in crossing the de^ part ot

20 The deep part was towardi tha left bank } ita bc^tom sand, with a small
21 quantity of mud. There arc many islands and sand-banks formed in its
22 centre, and it contains merely quick-sands ; its left bauk is particularly low,
23 and it must, at its greatest viae, overflow tour or five miles of tbe low countrjr
24 oa its left bank. ,
