Remarks on Route, Stations, See.
Close to Kuntadar the road to Kej re
crosses the Khor, which is then left
some distance to the left, and not seen
again until close to Kej. For the first
six miles the direction is north-easterly
to a range of hills, which are crossed by
an easy path; after which the direction
is more easterly over barren stony
ground. A few miles west of Kalatok
the Khor (now Kej Khor) is crossed,
and a fertile tract entered abounding
with vegetation and groves of trees, and
intersected by artificial water-courses.
Hence the road skirts the date groves
to Kalatok, which is situated north of
the Khor.
