[...] Thus the Sutledge which formerly ran close to the town of Loodianah is now seven miles to the northward ; the Ravee which twenty years ago washed the walls of the city of Lahore runs in a channel three miles off to the northward. the Chunab which ten or twelve years ago ran close to the town of Ramnuggur is now four miles distant ; and the same applies to the Jehlum.
