Desceiption of the Afghan Fkontier between the Hari Bud and the Oxus.
Leaving pillar No. 19 the frontier runs east by south in a straight line for some
7 75 miles (as measured on the map) to pillar No. 20 which stands on the summit
of the high hill, distant about 4 miles to the north by west of the Kara Tepe mound.
From pillar No. 20 the line runs in a south-easterly direction to a long round-topped
hill at the head of a ravine running down to the Kushk Biver, and thence along
the crest of a ridge in a southerly direction to a point overlooking the valley of the
Kushk known as the Ziarat-i-Khwaja Alam Dar, marked by a heap of stones and
a grave. Pillar No. 21 stands on the top of this heap of stones. From there the
hue runs straight down the side of the hill, and straight across the valley to pillar
No. 22, on the left or western bank of the Kushk Biver, at a distance of 300 yards
below its junction with the Moghor stream.

Pillar No. 22 stands near the edge of the bank above flood-level, and about
2,600 yards north of the Kara Tepe mound.
From pillar No. 22 the boundary runs up the course of the Biver Kushk for
some 9~! miles (as measured on the map in a direct line) to pillar No. 23 built on
the edge of the right or eastern bank of the river, and nearly in the centre of the
valley, at a distance of 900 yards from the head of the canal taking off from the
river on the right bank at the northern side of Chahil Dukhtaran point below and
on the opposite side of the river to the Ziarat-i-Chahil Dukhtaran.
Pillar No. 23 is distant some 275 paces from the mound where the road up
the right bank of the river after crossing the Chahil Dukhtaran point debouches
again on to the plain. The boundary runs north-eastwards in a straight line from
pillar No. 23 for some 144 miles to pillar No. 24, described hereafter. The inter
mediate pillars are pillar No. 23A standing 360 paces to the north-east of pillar
No. 23, on the top of the bluff forming the eastern edge of the valley, and about
175 paces from the mound on the road-side above mentioned.
Pillar No. 23B, situated on the sky line at a distance of about 1| miles from
No. 23A, on a low flat-topped mound visible from both up and down the Kushk
Valley, but not visible directly from No. 23A.
Pillar No. 23C, standing on a ridge of the northern slope of the hill known as
the Band-i-Chah-i-Khishti. The pillar is situated on an isolated knoll in the ridge,
and some 300 yards to the north of a higher and sharper shoulder of the same
ridge. Pillar No. 23B is situated 6 | miles to the south-west, and pillar No. 24
rather more than 5 f miles to the north-east.
Pillar No. 24 stands on the western end of a long, steep, white hill, as seen from
the south on a point known as the Ziarat-i-Baba Taghi. This pillar is built on the
