The Bugli tribe are • Baluch who inhabit the hilly country to the west of the Rajanpur, _border, and it has been estimated that they can muster from 1200 to 4000 fighting men. Their six divisions are the Kaheja, Nothani, Musuri, Kalpar, Phong, and Kiazai. Much of their country is rugged and barren, but it contains good pasture lands and some fertile valleys. They claim to be allied with the Rind Baluch. They and the Murree were unceasingly at war, but the Bugti were also at feud with the Mazari, Dreshuk, Dumki; Burdi, and others. They made predatory attacks on the British army when advancing towards Afghan istan. In 1844-45 Sir Charles Napier advanced against them with 2500 men, and was opposed by about 3500 Ja.kmni, Dumki, Bugti, and Khetran. The campaign lasted from the 15th January to the 4th March 1845, on which the chiefs sub mitted, after 54 days of incessant exertion. They again, on the 10th December 1846, as sembled a force of 1500 armed men, and made an inroad to within 15 miles of Shikarpur, and returned to their hill with 15,000 head of cattle, without the kiss of a man. On the 1st October 1847, the whole Bugti force entered the plain, but were' met by Lieutenant Merewether of the Sind Horse, with 133. men. The 'Bugti formed a solid mass to receive the attack, but were over thrown at the Brit onset, retired, and were again defeated, and at last threw down their arms and surrendered. Out of 700, only two horsemen regained the hills, while the loss of the British was nine killed and wounded; and the tribe, broken and dispersed, fled for refuge to the Khetrans. Nevertheless petty inroads occurred, and 'on the 7th April 1869, 500 Bugti attacked the post of Kasmir, and were repulsed, and, as they retreated, a native officer and party came on a party of 300 or 400 Bugti driving off 1000 camels. He mediately charged. them, killing many, and recover ing all the camels.

The British Hazara is a Cis-Indus district of the Panjab.. It is a mountainous country, bounded on the north by various independent tribes, on the S. by Rawal Pindi, on the E. by Kashmir, and on the W. by the Indus. Its greatest length is 130 miles, and breadth 40 miles, with an area of 2994 square miles. It has four revenue sub divisions,—Haripur,Mansera, Tanawal,and Kaghan. In the last_ are • Gujar ryots, and Swati occupy Kunhar as far as the Black Mountain. , In its south portion are the Bomba, Dhund, Karal, and Ghakar, and in the tracts on the Indus are the Utmanzai, Mashwani, and Tarkheli.
The Tanaoli and Jaclyn are in Tanawal. They
are fair cultivators. The Gujar, Awan, and other Muhammadan converts are hard-working and thrifty ; the Syud, Swati, Utmanzai, and Tarkheli are careless, lazy races. The Mashwani are very thrifty.
Agror is a subdivision of the Hazara 'district, 10 miles long and 6 broad, consisting of three main valleys in the upper portion of the Unar river, bounded on the north by the Mana Ka Dana spur of the Black Mountain. Its beautiful moun tain glens, Unar, Arbora, and Kathai, are one mass of luxuriant vegetation, and open into several minor glens,—Chulandarian, Kabl, Bazdara, and Kanjara Dara. A great spur comes down from Nanga Parbat, and another range comes from above Kahl. The inhabitants, 8721 in number, are Swati and Gujar of low physique and debased morality. The Swati have all the vices of the Pathan without his courage, and they do not care to fight even for their own fields. There are a few Tanaoli, Awan, Pathan, Koreshi, Syud, and Dasht, bigoted Muhammadans, who speak Pushtu, all ruled by a khan. The Koresh tribe claim Arab origin, and are in all the Trans-Indus dis tricts.
There are also in Agror portions of upwards of twenty Afghan tribes, with the usual artisans of eastern villages, and a few Khatri and Brahman Hindus, living in 45 small villages. In July and August 1868 a small force was sent into Agror ; the Siati submitted, but others held out, and a large force under Major-General Wilde advanced to the Black Mountain. In July 1869 two ham lets in the valley were burned by raiders of ' the Hasanmi, Pamri Syud, and Akozai, on which a British force destroyed the Akozai village of Shahtut. On the 5th and 15th April 1870 and 4th June 1871 other villages were attacked by raiders, but after 1872 the Agror valley and Hazara border were free from any hostile at tacks.
Swati.—The Alahi valley, to the north of Hazara, drains into the Indus nearly opposite Ghorband. The inhabitants are Swath The Kohistan is a valley on the Hazara border to the N.E. of Alahi, along the west and north of Kaghan. It has an area of 500 or GOO square miles. The Kohistani claim to be of Arab descent, but their neighbours say they were idol-worship pers up to the last quarter of the 18th century. This seems correct, as their divisions are the Rana proprietors, the Yeshkan vassals, Kamin artisans, and Duni musicians. The Kohistani are a physically fine race, free spoken and very united. They trade in timber and other produce. Their divisions or khel are the Bara, Galoch, Shandar, and Gatar.
The Kaghan valley or glen forins the most northern part of the Hazara district. It has a population of about 22,000, Syuds and Gujar. It consists of the inner slopes of two parallel moun tain ranges, clad with perpetual snow, and ranging in height from 12,000 feet at the g. entrance of the valley to 15,000 feet at its northern head. It stretches, upwards till it nearly reaches Chilies. The Gujar are quiet and The Syuds are proprietors, having received it from the Sikhs. They are lazy, disunited, and intriguing. They were proceeded against in 1852, and they surrendered to the British.
