Apalik. 14. Tokpai.
Shrine of Bibi Tujilik. 15. Hassan Gunj.
Moljia. 16. Achian.
The Kâpa gold fields. 17. Charchand.
The marches from Naia probably average between 20 and 25 miles in length.
Charchand is a place of some importance, and is said to be used as a penal settlement ; a large river is said to flow through it coming from Thibet and ultimately finding its way to Lob. The geographical position of Charchand is not fixed with any degree of certainty but it is probably about equidistant from Keria (Route XIV.) and Kuria (Route XV.), to which latter place a road passes viâ Tartang and Chaktuk. Between Charchand and the Lob District are said to be oases where wandering tribes of Sokpos (Kalmaks) wander about with their flocks and herds. Near Charchand are the Khadlak gold fields, where 100,diggers are employed.

NOTE.-These routes are very meagre, but have been used in conjunction with other sources of information in the compilation of my preliminary map. From Wamur there is a pathway up the Murghabi River to Sirich Fort, but so difficult that travellers nearly always go by the Ghund river in preference.-H. T.
* Probably the western prolongation of the Alicliur Pamir.
