ON THE PROVINCE OF PEBIU^VUR. 31
^zaklmil-i-koh-i-Damaii, Muslitoozai, and eighteen smaller villages.
2 \ippah-'i-Khullcd .— This district, which is the smallest of the six,
lies directly west of Peshawur, and is inhabited by the Khulleel tribe,
who are particular friends of the Khaiberries ; and receive a share of
whatever these last mentioned people manage to steal from Peshawur
and its vicinity. Being situated close to the foot of the Khaiber range,
it is less cultivated in proportion than the other Tuppahs. It is, in fact,
entirely barren where the water of the Bara river, of which the Khul-
leels receive one share, cannot be brought into play for the purpose of
irrigation. Tahkal is the chief town of the Khulleel tribe, and con
tains 1,200 people. It has four Musjids, bu ilt in a substantial manner,
and each has a reservoir of water attached for the purposes of ablution.
It is surrounded by a great number of fine trees, but which do not
bear fruit. Two rivulets from the Bara river also flow through the
town: the revenue is 8,000 rupees Indian silver coin also widely used in the Persian Gulf. . The other principal places are
Takhal-i- Paen, Sir Bund, Nohdeh, Kaffir Deree, Speersang, Pulloosee-
i-Iahkarzai, Sungu, Pulloosee-i-Mughdurzai, and sixteen smaller vil
lages. The whole of the villages of this district are well built, very
clean and picturesque, and have rivulets running through them, the
banks of which are generally shaded with fine trees.
The Fort of Tutlihgur, generally known as the Fort of Jumrood, is
situated about three miles from the entrance to the Khaiber Pass. It
is small in size, and has a sort of keep in the centre. There are the
remains of a small village round it, which is now entirely deserted,
and the fort itself is in a ruinous state. The village of Jumrood, also in
ruins, is half a mile nearer the Pass.
THE EUSUFZAI COUNTRY.
The part of the Eusufzai country which at present forms a portion
of the Province of Peshawur, I had the opportunity of visiting in De
cember last, when my Regiment formed part of a force which left
Peshawur for the purpose of chastising the inhabitants of several re
fractory villages. On the 3rd December 1849, we reached Pubee,
and on the next day arrived at Nohshaira, both of which places have
been described under the respective Tuppahs or districts. On the 8 th
of December we left Nohshaira for Toru, our route lying a little to
the East of North. The ground as we advanced, sloped gradually
towards the North, We passed several villages, near which I observ-
