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