To the west of the Indus they include those spurs of the Hindu Kush which run into Chitral and Dir the Buner and Swat hills the Safed Koh the Waziristan hills the Suliman range and the low hills in the trans-Indus districts of the North West Frontier Province. [...] At the south of the Kurram valley the frontier sweeps round to the west leaving in the British sphere the valley of the Tochi. [...] In the part of it situated to the north of the north-west corner of Nipal lies the Manasarowar lake in the neighbourhood of which three great Indian rivers the Tsanpo or Brahmapntra the Sutlej and the Indus take their rise. [...] The Kurnaon section lies mainly in the United Provinces but it includes the sources of the Jamna and contains the chain in the Panjab which is at once the southern watershed of the Sutlej and the great divide between the two river systems of Northern India the Gangetic draining into the Bay of Bengal and the Indus carrying the enormous discharge of the north-west Himalaya the Murtagh-Karakora [...] The chief from north to south are the Vehoa the Sangarh the Khair the Kaha the Chachar and the Sint called from the torrents which flow through them to the plains.
