defeated Afghans returned by another route
via Msruchsk and Bals Murghab. The
Penideh Valley is q most fertile oasis, and
a lovely country, with splendid pasture
lands. In the Spring time the ground is
literally carpeted with flowers. DR.. Atch-
inson, a botanical expert, was delighted.
He made 9 valuable collection of fora.
The valleys abound in game. The party
killed $50 pheassnts daily. The Murghab
river abounds in water fowl. The hills are
stocked with gszelle. antelope, wild sheep
and pigs. The Afghans were always kind
and attentive to the wants Of the Commits
sion and did their utmost TO provide them
with food and comforts, though the task
was difficult, as the country is unin-
habited. The party saw the ruins OF nu-
merous ancient towns" When Mr..
Stephen left the Commission, all the MEM
