BIBBTSH which, sepa-
rates Ghilghit from Punya.

On the left side of the river,
opp osite SJmkayot, is

Upper Bargu = Amini
Bargu.

Danyor is a village situ-
ated on the confluence of
the Nagyr stream with
that of Ghilghit, which
falls into the Indus at
the defile of MAKPON-i-
SHANG-RONG; then:

JDjutel, on the 1ST AG YR road.

Jugloth, Do.

Then comes NAGYR.

On the HU3STZA side of the
. Nagyr river is :

Homal (one day's march
from Ghilghit) then:

Ndlterr,

Ouatsh,

Tslidlte, onward from which,
on the left, is :

Tshaprot a rather big village
(100 houses.)

Buddless is straight in a line
with Tshalte; there is a
river, the water of which is
very good, which flows
between Tshalte and Bu-
daless; the river is called
Garmasey.

Bdrr on the left bank;

Bey titer.

Then comes a mountain call-
ed Bayes which separates
Ghilghit from the Hunza
territory. The first village
of Hunza, in that direction
is Mayunn.

JaglotTi is divided from Nag-
yr territory by a mountain
called Shdlter and a hill
called Kalutsh. Then comes
the first- Nagyr village:
Mite.

Between Dayur and Hara-
mush there are two rivu-
lets—Baye and Manugd.

The valley of Baye comprises
the following villages, for
all which there is the col-
lective name Bagrot and
which is composed of:

The stronghold of Bagrot.

Sindker.

Datutslie.

Parpuy (300 houses and a
fort.)

Bultshe.

Teysot.

Masingot.

Then comes a mountain at
the foot of which is a
plain called Satt.

When the mountain is cross-
ed the road leads to the
R-ardmusJt district, where
the Indus breaks through
the Himalaya at the Mak-
pon-i-Shang-Rong.

The Haeamttsh district has
five villages : [It takes
two marches to reach it
from the Makpon-i-Shang-
Rong] — Shute, Sanutzal,
Khalterre. 1 do not know

the names of the other two.
Here the road leads to
Skabdo by Karmdng. Be-
tween Doyur and the Mak-
pon-i-Shang-Rongis TsJia-
mugher, once a populous
district bnt now entirely
deserted. An elsewhere
quoted legend is connected
with it.

The tolerably well-known
ASTOR country is divided

from the Ghilghit country by
the Astor river at the pas-
sage called by the Mussul-
man Kashmiris " Sheitan
nara ; " by Hindoos " Ram
gat,."and by the Shin peo-
ple '' Barro"=a pond. The
violence of the torrent
there is almost indescriba-
ble ; but I saw it when it
was exceptionally swollen
by the melting snows.
The Indus is called " Sinn"
either a corruption of Sind,
or as " the river " par ex-
cellence.

Gor, which till recently paid
a tribute to the Ghilghit
Raja and is now independ-
ent, has two large forts
Losunot and Dobot. De-
scending the Atsho moun-
tain a village of Gor called
" Talitsha " comes very
prominently in sight ;
from the top of that
mountain also may be seen
Gtess, another village of
Gor, nearly opposite to
Bukee in CHILiS. The
Raja of Ghilghit is said
to have made Gyess over
to the CMldsis; at any rate
the Ohilasis receive a tri-
bute of 12 goats per an-
num from the Gyess
people. Further on is
Tdlpenn which considers
itself subject to Ghilghit
and nearly opposite to
which is the fort and ca-
pital of CHILAS, called
by that name.
