3 ihc a ie on range, bounding the valley of the Kabool river on the south, as
4 1s ee the Hindoo Koosh does on the north. These two ranges are
5 Punj. Bokh. ti, about seventy miles apart, and this distance may be considered as
6 tee ok the extreme breadth of the valley of the Kabool river. The
7 Macgregor, coe: Sufeid Koh range runs nearly east and west along the parallel of
8 Valle; :
9 of Jullalabad; lat. 33° 50’, commencing eastward near Attock in long. 72°16’,
10 Ce neg and terminating westward in long. 69° 36’. Its western extremity
11 eee sinks into a maze of hills, stretching like net-work to the Kohistan
12 son, Bal. fg, Of Kabool. The Sufeid Koh is generally of primary formation,
13 bina at a consisting of granite, quartz, gneiss, mica, slate, and primary

17 Llama tele 8 are covered with pine forests ; the highest and most distant has a
18 Afg. i, 180; Elph. very irregular outline, is steep and very rocky, yet furrowed by

20 the meridians of 69° 40’ and 70° 30’, and attains the elevation of
21 14,100 feet, being covered with perpetual snow. The Soorkh
22 Rood, the Kara Su, and many other shallow but impetuous
23 streams, rush down its northern face, and are discharged into the
24 river of Kabool, which conveys their water to the Indus. The
25 Khyber mountains connect the eastern extremity with the Hima-
26 laya, as the Kurkutcha do the western, and between them lies the
27 plain of Jelalabad.

32 Kashmir, at the north-western extremity of the valley, at an ele-
33 vation of 6,000 feet asove the sea. Here are well-marked indi-
34 cations of volcanic action still at work, as from time to time the
35 heat is so great as to fuse the soil and send forth volumes of
36 smoke. Phenomena of this kind occurred about forty years ago,

38 we following words :—‘‘ The soil of this place is so intensely hot
39 that it destroys the trees, and if a kettle be set on the ground it
40 will boil.” Lat. 34° 16’, long. 74°.
