from the Barabchah nullah on the north, as shown in the attached map, as far as
boundary pillar No. CLXIII, which has been erected on a prominent peak on that
watershed. The boundary line then leaves this main watershed and runs north
west for about 3f miles along the crest of a spur, which separates the main, i.e.,
northern branch of the Barabchah nullah, from the southern branches as far as
boundary pillar No. CLXIY, which has been erected on a prominent peak at the
end of that spur. From here the boundary line runs in a straight line westwards
and slightly northwards for about 29 miles to boundary pillar No. CLXXII, which
has been erected at a point six miles due south of Robat. Along this straight
line, to mark the boundary, boundary pillars Nos. CLXV, CLXYI, CLXVII,
CLXVIII, CLXIX, CLXX, CLXXI, have been erected at prominent points, as
shown on the attached map.
From boundary pillar No. CLXXII, the boundary line, turning westwards
and slightly southwards, runs in a straight line, except for a short distance at
Jilijil, as noted below, to a point 12 miles due north of Amir Chah, through boundary
pillars Nos. CLXXIII, CLXXIY, CLXXV and CLXXVI, as shown on the map
attached. Boundary pillar No. CLXXY is situated on a hill known as Bar close
to and north of the Chah-i-Marak. Boundary pillar No. CLXX\ I is at the foot
of the southern slopes of the hill known as Lorai which is on the north bank of
the nullah known as Chah-i-Marak nullah. From boundary pillar No. GLXX\ I,
the boundary line turns due south and runs to a distance of half a mile to the south
of the bed of the large nullah in which Soru and Jilijil are situated. The Soru
water is thus left on the British side and the Jilijil water on the Afghan side of
the boundary line. The line then runs along the sand-hills at a distance of ^ a mile
to the south of the bed of the above nullah to a point near Khaisan Lok where
the main road from Jilijil to Darband leaves this nullah. Here the boundary
line joins and thence runs along the straight line drawn between boundary pillar
No. CLXXII and boundary pillar No. CLXXVII erected at a point 12 miles due
north of Amir Chah. This line passes through the north slopes of a prominent
sand-hill known as Khaisan Lok and passes about 2-| miles south of The top of the
Kamarghar hill, about three miles south of the top of O ld an Koh, about 2 2 miles
south of the top of Harrag hill, about eight miles north of Darband and about
seven miles north of the top of the Gharibo hill. Owing to the heavy sand along
its course it has not been possible to demarcate the boundary line beyond Soru
by boundary pillars.
Clause No. 7.—We have jointly agreed that from boundary pillar No. CLXXVII,
erected at the point 12 miles due north of Amir Chah, the boundary line runs in
a straight line north-west, as shown in the attached map, for about 97 miles to
the top of the Koh-i-Malik Siah. As this boundary line runs through sand and
desert it has been considered unnecessary to demarcate it for some distance by
boundary pillars. It passes about 22 miles north of the Koh-i-Dalil, about 20^
miles north of Drana Koh, about 10 miles north of the Garuk-i-Gori hill, about
16| miles north of the Kirtaka spring. It passes about 1| miles south of the most
southern point of the God-i-Zirreh, about 8 miles south of the ruins of five old
buildings, which are situated in a row a short distance to the south of the Shelag
