Close to Kuntadar the road to Kej recrosses the Khor, which is then left some distance to the left, and not seen again until close to Kej. For the first six miles the direction is north-easterly to a range of hills, which are crossed by an easy path; after which the direction is more easterly over barren stony ground. A few miles west of Kalatok the Khor (now Kej Khor) is crossed, and a fertile tract entered abounding with vegetation and groves of trees, and intersected by artificial water-courses. Hence the road skirts the date groves to Kalatok, which is situated north of the Khor.

Close to Kalatok the road to Killa-i-Now, &c., crosses the Khor and skirts the date groves,-south of it road good. Three miles east of Kalatok passed a place called Sengi Kalat. Opposite Killa-i-Now north of the Khor stands the Miri. From top of Miri took the following rough bearing:

Kalatok W. by S. 7 miles.
Killa-i-Now S. 2 miles.
Gushtung S. E. 2 miles.
Turbut E. S. E. 3 miles.

Abser E. by S. 4 miles.

From Killa-i-Now to Turbut is a good road a mile south of Khor. S. E. of Killa-i-Now pass Gushtung Fort and Village. Turbut is a mile south of the Khor. Numerous Karezes here and many wells; S. E. at 2 miles is a conical hill named Koh-i-Murad (Mount Desire) the Zikri shrine.

Still follow up the Khor which is crossed at Abser, the Eastern village of Kej, on a sort of island. Road level and stony, the valley becomes sterile until at 16 miles to Shahrak Fort and village, where is grove of date trees and some fields; four miles further on is Sami on the north of the Khor.

From Khor, None, but
good and grass in
plenty. abundance.

East of Sami the road, which leads both to Kolwa and Punjgoor, lies along the course of the Khor, which is frequently passed and repassed. At places the road runs up the stony bed of the Khor, and is disagreeable to travel, but every where level. Hetok is a name given to one part of the valley, where are several fields under cultivation. From that to Kolwah there is no cultivation in the valley but sufficient vegetation in most parts to supply food to flocks of goats and sheep which are kept by wandering Belooch tribes. Their Halks or Tomuns are but few and small.

From Khor As above. The Kolwah road which continues east along the valley was here left, the road to Punjgoor branching off and passing through the northern range of hills. The pass is winding for a mile but not difficult. Springs of water exist amongst the hills. By one of these north of the hills, is the usual halting place. It is a bad one, forage being scarcely obtainable.

Ditto.

Very little
from a
fountain, scarce.

None, forage
