After a short halt we mounted again, a little
before one, and proceeded in a north-west direction,

course of a ravine, we arrived about two at the little
Koordish village of Shorjee, in the hollow which
receives all the waters that come down on this side.

country was less furrowed, and the descent to the
hollow more gentle. The crest, or ridge of hills
parallel with us, was on our left; and at three we
passed a large village under them, called Kani
Maran. This village is inhabited by the Rozhbian,
