The rivulet [containing an abundant supply of water] on leaving Herar Valley is lost to sight beneath the rocks [note 1] for nearly half a mile [0.8 km or so] reappearing in a fine gushing stream at full 300 feet [91 m] of a lower level than the point of its disappearance. SITUATION: Herar is a pretty little valley about 3 miles [5 km or so] south-west of the … Danma Towers [note 2], built on a ridge of the Great Hola / Kirthar Range [note 3] are about 50 miles [80 km, probably along the road] to the south-west of Mehar [note 4]. The ridge is about 4500 feet [1372 m] above the level of the sea, and is mainly composed of nummulitic limestone with the accompanying nummulites testacea occasionally varied by bits of quartz, imbedded in nodules of carbonate of lime and pyrites (note 5).The rivulet [containing an abundant supply of water] on leaving Herar Valley is lost to sight beneath the rocks [note 1] for nearly half a mile [0.8 km or so] reappearing in a fine gushing stream at full 300 feet [91 m] of a lower level than the point of its disappearance.
