22 OBEH, or OBA, in Afghanistan, a village in a fertile and
23 well-watered district on the route from Kandahar to Ghuznee,
24 and one hundred and seventy-two miles north-east of the former
25 place. It is situate near the right bank of the Turnak; the road

29 OIN, in the Punjab, a small town near the base of the moun-
30 tains inclosing Kashmir on the south. It is situate on the river
31 Jailum, the navigation of which here again becomes practicable
32 after its interruption between Baramula and this place. Here
33 rafts are made of deodar and other timber, the growth of the
34 neighbouring mountains, and guided, by means of poles and pad-
35 dles, to the towns lower down on the river. A practicable road
36 runs down each side of the navigable course of the Jailum, as far
37 as the town bearing the same name. Oin is in lat. 33° 40’, long.
38 73° 50’.
39 OLEERA, in Sinde, a small town on the route from Shikar-
40 poor to Khyerpoor, and six miles north of the latter place. It
41 is situate amidst jungle and woods of stunted trees, in a low allu-
42 vial country, intersected by canals and watercourses from the
43 Indus. Lat. 27° 34’, long. 68° 46’.
44 OLIPORE,! in Afghanistan, a narrow valley in the north of
45 the district of Lughman, and on the southern border of Kafiristan.
46 Griffith considers that its natural characteristics strongly re-
47 semble those of the valleys of the Himalaya, especially in the
48 abundance, large growth, and excellence of its timber trees. The
49 bottom of the valley, which is about three thousand feet above
50 the sea, produces very fine oaks, and thick forests of these ex-
51 tend up the sides of the inclosing mountains to the height of
52 about four thousand five hundred feet above the same level. At
