to the north-north-west, and situated on the top of the heights which form the
northern limit of the depression of Kui-Sarai. From this point the frontier runs
to the north-north-east towards pillar No. 58, placed on one of the sandy mounds
of the heights which command the plain extending to the west of Andkhoi; the
