nullahs on the west and the Tanga nullah on the east. The boundary line thence
follows the crest of this watershed through pillar No. XLVIII to pillar No. XLIX
Thence turning northwards it follows the crest of the watershed of the Tsah nullah
to boundary pillar No. L, which is on a conspicuous peak on the crest of the water
shed between the nullahs flowing into the Kadanai river on the south and the
Salasun river on the north. The boundary line now runs along the crest of this
watershed through boundary pillars Nos. LI, LII to pillar No. LIII, which has
been erected on a high conspicuous peak commonly known as Manik Suka. From
pillar No. LIII the boundary line runs along the crest of the well defined water
shed between the Khwara and Shishga and Shahidan nullahs on the south and
the nullahs flowing into the Simsalah nullah on the north, through boundary pillar
No. LIV to boundary pillar No. LV. From here the boundary line runs along the
crest of the southern watershed of the Loe Manah nullah to the head of the Dori
nullahs. It then runs along the crest of the watershed between two of the three
Dori nullahs, i.e., the western and middle of the three Dori nullahs through bound
ary pillars Nos. LV I, L\ II and LYIII to the junction of the western and middle
Dori nullahs. It then follows the centre of the river bed of this nullah for a short
distance to its junction with the Kadanai river.
From here the boundary line crossing the Kadanai river runs in a straight
line to boundary pillar No. LIX, erected on a conspicuous knoll on the south
of the Kadanai river and to the east of the junction of the Tozana nullah and
Kadanai river. It then ascends the hills and runs along the crest of the eastern

From here the line runs along the southern watershed of the Wala nullah to
pillar No. LX\ , which has been erected on a conspicuous peak on the crest of the
watershed of the main range, which is the northern continuation of the Khwaja
Amran range, and which here separates the drainage flowing into the Kadanai

wards follows the crest of this main watershed and runs through boundary pillars
Nos. LXV I, LXVII, LX\ III, LXIX, LXX, and LXXI, all erected on conspicu
ous peaks. The line then continues to run along the crest of the watershed and,
passing through pillar No. LXXII, which has been erected on the crest of the Psha
Kotal, it runs along the watershed to pillar No. LXXIII, erected on a high conspi
