9 and predatory character of the people, who take pride in the
10 name of Vagistan, or ‘Rebel Land,” as the rough and inaccessible
11 part of the region is called. The inhabitants, though habitually
12 ferocious and inveterate robbers, are industrious cultivators, so
13 that there is no spot neglected, where the labour of the hus-
14 bandman can be beneficially employed. Where the plough
15 cannot be used, its place is supplied by the spade, and every
16 declivity, terrace, and earthy nook, is carefully and successfully
17 tilled. Water is abundant, the soil being generally saturated
18 with it, and where there are no rivulets wells are dug, which
19 send forth perennial rills. This sequestered district exhibits a
20 mixture of orchard, field, and garden, and abounds in mulberry,
21 pomegranate, and other fruit-trees. The banks of the streams are
22 fringed with rows of weeping willows, and during the greater
23 part of the year enamelled with wild flowers and fragrant aromatic
24 herbs. It lies between lat. 34° 20’—-34° 35’, long. 70°—71°.

28 NUNNENWARRE, a lofty mountain of Kashmir, in the
29 range which bounds the valley on the north-east. Over it is the
30 Bunderpoor pass, from Kashmir into Tibet. Von Hugel found
31 the boiling water point on it to be at 186°8, which, according to
32 the approximation usually adopted, would give about 11,000 feet
33 for the height of the pass. North-west of this, the Nangaparvat
34 attains a much greater elevation, the exact amount of which has
35 not been ascertained. Lat. 34° 31’, long. 74° 35’.

43 is distant about a mile south. The inhabitants are engaged in the
