Copy of a Confi denjtial Fo, 157-1/8, dated Zabul,

I have the honour to refer to my telegram No. 156 of
*T'th April 19 32 and to forward herewith the maps referred to,
»vhi ch are no doubt already available but as I have two copies
of ®ieet No. 14 N.W. I forward one in case it may be of use.
Die Boundary Pillars Nos* 12 to 15 are clearly shown and
the line finally merges in Pillar No. 186 at the junction of
the Afghan, Persian and Indian frontiers at Kuh-i-lfalik Slab.
I am not clear how these Pillars arp shown in the maps, whereas
the Holdich agreement of 1896 makes no mention of them.
2* Die Persians are said to have collected evidence that
our post at Kgcha has been advanced since the boundary was
settled. In this connection it is interesting to note that
there are two points marked Kacha Pass, one on either side of
the border. I am unaware as to the exact location of our present
Levy post in this neighbourhood.
3. Die gmall map (l* - 2 miles) which' accompanied the Tebb-
lare observations on the ambiguity of the boundary near Hirjawa,
made in his report on Quetta-Si stan Trade route for 1900 - 1901
is presumably available with the Government of Indie. If this
be compared with Sheet 14 3.W. (adjoining afreet to the enclosed
map) the ambiguity as regards the junction of the TALAB and
LIRJaWa rivers is obvious. In Captain 'Tebb-Vare* s sketch the
river-beds appear to be quite distinct in the neighbourhood of
Hirjawa Port. Prom personal observations on the spot I am not
convinced that thi# distinction is at all obvious. I have seen
Rt i* ^6 spot in dry weather only, when no water was flowing and
^ere appears to be a general depression near the Port, in
No 68 m. !
