It is at the S. entrance of a pass in the Thoor hills which run E. to W. or N. W. to S. E. from Shobrisubz by Mapak mountains and Koh-i-pak Shainror and Allghoor the fort of Karbanyto Falungir and through the desert of Woormoor; wind S. to Thalukhar and S. to Khan Durra and then E. along river Bhoongee to the Esh and Geth districts where they join the klindoo Koosh. [...] Thence the stream receives the name Khah and runs S. and S. W. to the pass of Dur Bohoom where it meets the Nu-e-choor (which rises in the E. at G haz in the Dharabim wouutains two stages W. of Dharahun and thence runs by the caves of Aurooch near which are good lead-mines ) thence by Pens fort to Dur Bohoom ; thence E. to loath where it is joined by the Yontee (rising in the mountains of Kalk [...] Thence the Khae runs N. W. to Ilathus where it is joined by the Hem (which rises in tle mountains N. of Chitral at Oogurk) ; thence N. W. to Yahab to the lake of Noosh where it turns E. and through the Shoolee mountains and pass of Dad to Muz where it meets the Mooz (rising in Kalproost mountains and.has a S. W. course through the Shooli range). [...] On examining into the source of the leakage I found it proceeded partly from a crack which had formed in the upper wooden part of the cistern and partly from the side of the tube where it passed into the cistern ; several plans were tried witout avail to stop the leakage and at last the mercury escaped to such an extent as to admit of air passing into the tube. [...] By the contact of the escaped mercury with the solder which conected the vernier to the arm of the rack which moves it up and down the scale the vernier became detached an accident which never could happen if the arm of the rock and vernier were made out of one piece of metal.
