11 furious torrent. The total length of its course is about a hundred
12 miles. The Hubb rises in the north-east angle of the province,
13 and runs slong a rocky channel among the ravines and valleys
14 of the Brahooic mountains, with so small a body of water, that,
15 in the dry season, the current does not reach the sea. In the wet
16 season it falls into the Indian Ocean a little to the left of Cape
17 Monze, after a course of a hundred and ten milesf/ Such a
18 country must of necessity be pastoral, the scanty population that
19 exists being confined to the course of the Poorally, and producing
20 only a little grain, pulse, and tobacco. /The people are supported
21 almost entirely on the produce of their flocks and herds, pas-
22 turing great numbers of goats, cows, buffaloes, and camels.
23 They consume but a small quantity of grain, and most of that is
24 imported. The inhabitants are called Lumris or Numaris, and
25 speak a dialect similar to that of Sinde. They are governed by
26 a chief, called the Jam, whose residence is at the little town of
27 Bela, hence considered as the capital. He is a vassal of the
28 Kian of Kelat, to whom, in time of war, he supplies a con-
29 tingent of troops, which, on the last occasion, amounted to four
30 thousand men. His annual revenue is computed to be 25,000
31 rupees, derived almost exclusjvely from custom duties. The only
32 laces which can properly be called towns are Bela, Sonmee-
33 jenee, and Lyaree. Bela, the capital, has, according to Car-
34 lese, eight Diidted houses, and a population of about 5,000.
35 Sonmeeanee has a population of about 5,000, and one thousand
36 houses. Lyaree is very small and inconsiderable. The population
37 of the whole province is probably 60,000.
38 LUTTABUND PASS, in Afghanistan, is the most northern
39 of the four collateral passes through the Kurkutcha range. It is
40 about six miles long, and little frequented; the caravans gene-
41 rally travelling by the Huft Kotal pass farther south, especially
42 in winter, as then the Luttabund is blocked up by snow. It is
43 probably about 7,000 feet high. On arriving at the highest part
44 of this pass from the eastward, the traveller has a view of the
45 city of Kabool, twenty-five miles distant, to the west. Liat.

47 LYAREE, in Beloochistan, a town or rather hamlet in the
48 province of Lus, at the head of the estuary of the river Poorally,
49 and twenty-five miles from its mouth. Pottinger! states it to
50 contain from sixteen hundred to eighteen hundred houses, which
