14 * The height of Peshawur (1) above the sea is 1,068 feet. The stream which
15 pacses by Peshawur falls into the Caubul rives about fourteen miles below the
16 city, and, as its course les through a plain, the fall to its confluence probably
17 does not exceed two feet ina mile. From that confluence the course of the
18 Caubul river to its junction with the Indus at Attok is about forty miles,
19 and as it is navigable (2) for this distance, its fall cannot much exceed a foot
20 per mile. This would make the elevation of the bed of the Indus at Attok
21 about !,000 feet.
