Remarks on Route, Stations, &c .
Winding through the hills by an easy
pass into the same valley before left.
Road is over stony, barren land, inter
sected by numerous ravines. At Puk
commences a better description of
country. Traces of recent cultivation
every where visible. The hills on either
side of the valley are not very lofty here,
and are about twelve miles apart.
To Balor through fields and thin jungle,
a good road. Balor is close to the south
ern range of hills.
Along the south side of the valley, pass
through extensive fields of barley and
jowari. The soil is very rich. Half
way there is a good halting place by a
well.
Good road, through same description of
country. Numerous herds and flocks
are met with ; saw some antelope.
The hills trend more northerly than be
fore, their direction being about E. N. E.
The rest of the road is good. Gushanak
Fort is visible at a distance of some
miles, being of considerable elevation.
Road same description.
The road to Jow leaves the Kolwah valley
at a few miles east of Gushanak and
enters the southern hills, through which
it leads for two marches. There are no
inhabited places along this part of the
route, but at convenient intervals, springs
of water or streams were met with, near
which forage was generally obtainable.
The road is bad, in some places there are
very steep and difficult ascents and des
cents. Pao Khor here winds through the
hills, at present not flowing, but plenty
of water remaining in pools flows 10 m
the Mushki valley,and further down, join-
ing the Jow, they reach the sea as the
Hingole river. .......
Road tolerably easy, winding amongst hi is
to a fountain in a small valley. ie
grave of a Peer gives the halting p ace
the name of Ziaret.
