Remarks on Route, fStations, &c.
The road for twelve miles is northerly,
across a level sandy plain. At 8 miles
pass a patch of cultivation, and some
palm trees to the right, called Nigore.
At 12 miles enter a low range of hills—
here for two miles the road is bad, stony,
but not very steep. Eest of road level
and easy, country barren. At Tonk
shady, and abundant food for camels.
No' water procurable between Gwadur
and Tonk. Daram hills bear S. S. E. from
camp 5 miles, estimated height 2,000
feet. Thermometer 108° in tent.
From Tonk the road leads more easterly
between two ranges of hills over abarren
tract. Level easy road all the way.
Plenty of shade at this halting place.
Thermometer in tent 110°. S. E. the
Daram range terminates.
From Beylar the road for six miles leads
N. E. over hard barren country to the
Talar Pass. After passing the hills, it
turns N. W. to a low hill range, crossing
which, by an easy path enter the plain
called Dusht. Nature of soil and country
alters to fertile patches of cultivation
and a good deal of low wood. At four
miles from Kohuk pass Geki, a grove of
date trees and a few huts. Here
water is abundant. Cross the bed of
the Dusht Khor close to Kohuk, now
nearly quite dry. The course is heie
westerly. This latter part of the road
is good. Kohuk is on the north feide of
the Khor.
The road from Kohuk re-crosses the bed of
the Khor and leads N. E. along the left
bank through fields of cotton and jungle ,
close to Kuntadar, it again crosses the
Khor, this place being situated on the
right bank. Good road all the way,
and water readily obtained.
