=Safed Koh=
The most conspicuous mountain range in Eastern
Afghanistan, separating the Kabul basin from the Kurram and Afrldi
Tlrah, and forming a natural division between Afghanistan and India.
Staiting on the west (34 N., 69 30' E.) from near its highest point,
Sikaiam, 15,620 feet above the sea, it forms a watershed reaching
down into Southern Afghanistan, and terminating in a mass of uplands,
consisting of the Psem Dag and Toba (31 15' N., 67 E. approx.).
Its eastern ramifications extend to the Indus at and below Attock
(33 5' N., 72 10' E. approx.) Among the northern and eastern
spurs of this range are those formidable passes between Kabul and
Jalalabad in which the disasters of 1841-2 culminated, and the famous
Khyber Pass between Jalalabad and Peshawar. The northern spurs
are extremely barren ; but the intervening valleys are a combination
of orchard, field, and garden, abounding in mulberry, pomegranate,
and other fruit trees, while the banks of their streams are edged with
turf, enamelled with wild flowers, and fringed by rows of weeping
willows. The main range and the upper portion of the spurs are
wooded with pine, deodar, and other timber trees ; many of the
southern offshoots are also clothed with pines and wild olive.
