^{page 23 note 3} I may note here that the track leading from the mouth of the Buto-gāh valley to the ferry passes cultivation-terraces abandoned in recent times within less than half a mile of the ferry. Even nearer there is seen the ruin of an oblong walled enclosure which seems to have served at no very distant period as a defensible serai. Close to it issues a small spring at the foot of a low spur descending from the hill range to the south.

^{page 24 note 2} See Innermost Asia, i, pp. 3 sq. A look at a small-scale map might suggest that the nearest route to Darēl from the open fertile portions of the north-western extremity of India, including Gandhāra and adjacent ground eastwards, which formed a chief seat of Buddhist cult, would hare led up the Indus. But the exceptional physical difficulties presented by the forbidding gorges through which the Indus has cut its course below Darēl for a total distance of close on a hundred miles, could at no time have allowed this route to serve for regular intercourse, trade, or pilgrim traffic. The survey of these gorges carried out in the course of my explorations of 1941—2 in the Indus Kohistān has fully confirmed the graphic description which Fa-hsien and Hsüan-tsang have given of the exceptional difficulties of this route described in early Chinese records as the “route of the hanging chains”; see e.g. Travels of Fa-hsien (Legge, ), pp. 26 sq.Google Scholar; Watters, , On Yuan Chwang's Travels, i, p. 239Google Scholar; Stein, , Innermost Asia, i, pp. 20 sq.Google Scholar; Stein, , From Swat to the Indus Gorges,” Geographical Journal, 1942, 08, pp. 49–56CrossRefGoogle Scholar.
