BULTI, or LITTLE TIIIBET', a territory lying on the upper Indus beyond the Himalaya, and forming a sort of debatable land between India and Tartary. It is immediately to the n. of the valley of Cashmere, with which it is politically connected by conquest. It occupies about 8000 sq.m., extending in n. lat. between 34' 30' and 36°, and in e. long. between 75° and 77°. With an average elevation of about 7000 ft. above the sea, B. is surrounded by mountains of nearly the same height above its own level. Hence the temperature is such that only snow falls in what ought to be the rainy season, though in summer the thermometer ranges at noon from 70° to 90° F. European fruits are said to be plentiful. The inhabitants are of the Mongolian race, and chiefly Mohammedans. Among the animals are the she', the large-horned goat, the sheep, the musk-deer, and the ibis. The only town of consequence is the capital, Iskardoh, which, in fact, sometimes gives its name to the whole province.
BIILITEGUItli', or BALLAMGARII, a t. of India, the principal place of a jaghire of the same name, called also Furreedabad. The town is situated on the route from Delhi to Muttra, 29 m. s. of Delhi. in a pleasant well-cultivated country. The town is not large, and is very crowded, surrounded by a high brick wall, with mud bastions and a deep ditch. The jaghire has an area of 190 sq.m., and its pop. is supposed to be about 57,000. The British have never interfered with time civil or criminal affairs of the jag hire, except when their interference was requested, during the minority of the present rajah; but, the rajah of B. derives his rights from the British government. The revenue of the state is estimated at 160,000 rupees. The rajah maintains a small force of 100 cavalry and 350 infantry.
