about 400 yards south of Partos Nawar, where the boundary line enters the sand
hills of Registan. Beyond this point, as far as boundary pillar No. CLVII,
boundary pillars have not been erected owing to the sand. This straight line,'
from boundary pillar No. CXLIV to boundary pillar No. CLVII, passes about
one mile south of the hill known as Jari Mazar, about two miles south of Siah
^ang, about 7| miles south of the Sayd Buzziarat and about 1£ miles south of the
Paprang Band. After entering the sand-hills, of Registan at boundary pillar
CLVI, some 400 yards south of Partos Nawar, the boundary line runs in a
straight line through sand-hills to boundary pillar No. CLVII, which, as before
mentioned, has been erected at a point two miles due south of the top of the small
n close to and south of the Kani well. From boundary pillar No. CLVII, the
boundary line, which we have jointly agreed upon, runs in a straight line west

portion of the Lora Hamun. Boundary pillar No. CLVIII has been erected on
the hue at about U miles north of the Kunzai hill which is situated on the west
bank of the Lora Hamun. The boundary line thus passes to the north of the
Gazechah wells. Boundary pillars Nos. CLIX and CLX, erected on high promi-
