mound of stones marking tke site of this Ziarat, and to the west of some graves.
From this point the boundary turns east by south, and follows the line of the
watershed of the Bundi-i-Chingarak Range.
Pillar No. 24A is built just to the north of the footpath running along
the summit, where the boundary takes a turn to the south round the head of a
steep-sided ravine or hollow running northwards, known as Kham-i-Sabz. Pillar
No. 24B stands on the watershed at the south-east angle of the same hollow.
Pillar No. 25 stands on the top of the Kotal above the Chashma-i-Chingarak
on the eastern side of the road, and distant about 6| miles in a direct line from
pillar No. 24.
Pillar No. 26 stands on a high hill with a steep bluff on its northern side covered
with pistachio trees, some If miles from pillar No. 25. The pillar is built on a heap
of stones close to some graves known as the Ziarat-i-Chingarak. Thence the line
bends slightly southwards again still along the same watershed round the head
of a deep hollow with a spring in its south-eastern corner known as the Chashma-
i-Gaz, and on to another high point, and thence on to pillar No. 27 on the point
beyond that again, a high bluff without name and distant in a direct line from
pillar No. 26 rather more than 4f miles.
Pillar No. 28 stands on the eastern of two high points about 7^ miles to the
north-east of No. 27, and pillar No. 29 about lOf miles further on beyond that
again in the same direction.
The boundary follows the watershed all the way.
Pillar No. 29 immediately overlooks the Kashan valley, and stands on a shoulder
of the hill on the western side of the valley, just below the southern of the two peaks
on its summit, and opposite a western bend of the river. Here the boundary
leaves the watershed, and runs in a straight line across the Kashan valley m a
north-easterly direction for rather more than 3 miles to pillar No. 30 whicu
stands on a heap of stones on a rocky point at the summit of the hills on the
eastern side of the valley, and immediately to the west of, and overlooking the
mouth of, a precipitous gorge known as the Palang Khwawali.
Between pillars Nos. 29 and 30 two intermediate pillars were erected to mark
the line of crossing in the Kashan valley. The first, No. 29A, stands on the left
or western bank of the Kashan stream on a bit of high bank between the Kashan
and its affluent, the Kalimal, and just above its junction with the latter, at a dis
tance of about f of a mile from the domed reservoir at Tora-Shaikh, and about
the same distance from pillar No. 29. Pillar No. 29B stands on the crest of the
rocky ridge on the right or eastern side of the valley rather more than a mile from
of the Tora-Shaikh Ridge running eastwards for rather more than 5 miles to
pillar No. 31, erected on the top of a hill at the point where the line of the water
shed between the Kashan and the Murghab rivers joins that of the Tora-Shaikh
Ridge. From this point the boundary turns northwards and follows the line of
