Пянжл. •29 Ширина соединенной рѣки достигаетъ приблизительно до 40 ярдовъ ‘), а глубина l'/з фута съ скоростью трехъ половиною миль въ часъ. Измѣренія эти били сдѣланы до полудня^ тохс^ь, въ такое время, когда рѣка не достигла своего полнаго размѣра и хво* * роста. Лѣтомъ черезъ Пянжу нельзя переправляться въ бродъ. Сѣверный истокъ вытекаетъ изъ Вудовскаго озера или озера Викторіи (см. 13) и направляется на западъ. Троттеръ прослѣдилъ теченіе этой рѣки отъ Зана, то есть, отъ мѣста ея сліянія съ южною рѣкою до истоковъ изъ озера. На этомъ пути онъ называетъ нѣсколько притоковъ рѣки: у Лангаръ-киша съ сѣвера впадаетъ довольно значительная рѣка. Въ слѣдующій переходѣ отъ Лангаръкиша до Юмкханы или Жангалика, на протяженіи 18 миль съ сѣвера и съ юга въ рѣку впадаютъ нѣсколько незначительныхъ- притоковъ, Далѣе онъ упоминаетъ объ Абизери-Заийнъ, текущемъ въ высокихъ берегахъ (1000 ф.), о притокѣ Аби-Мацъ и объ Аби- Харгоши ®). 15. Рѣка Плнжа образованная сліяніемъ двухъ сейчасъ описанныхъ рѣкъ течетъ на ю.-з., на протяженіи шестидесяти трехъ миль, по Вахану. Ширина долины неодинакова въ различныхъ мѣстахъ, достигаетъ до одной мили и съуживается до нѣсколькихъ Sarhadd. Where the streams meet the valley is about three and a half miles wide and almost enterely covered with jungle. It narrows gradually towards Panjah, where it has a breadth of two miles. The height of Panjah above the sea I found to be but little more than 9,000 feet. 'I Ibd., етр. 282: Where the two Pinny streams meet opposite Zang, the united river was about 40 yards and one and half feet deep, with a velocity of three and a half miles per hour. This measurement was taken at 11 A. M. at which period of the day the river had not attained its full size and velocity.

In the hot weather at Panjah it eohnot be forded, but is crossed by rafts made of skins. •) Ibd., стр. 282: At Langar Kish.... a fairsiaed stream from the north joined the main stream.... Our first march from Langar Kish was about 18 miles to Yumkhana (also called Jangalik). The road follows the right bank of the river rising above it in several places as much as 1,000 feet. From both sides occasional small mountain streams help to swell the water of the main river.... After a time we came to the Ab-i-Zer-i-Zamin, a stream flowing from the north-west through banks 1,000 feet in height... Next day we continued along the right bank of the river, passing, after five miles, the Ab-i- Ma.tz; crp. 283, we passed on our left the Ab-i-Khargoshi which flows from and through the Khargoshi plain.
