Черезъ первуютіерекинутъ прекрасный мостъ и въ маѣ она имѣла выпирину около 25 ярдовъ. Рѣка эта течетъ изъ озера на Шева Памирѣ. Р. Вачервъ почти одинаковой величины съ предыдущею и впадаетъ въ Пявжу, южнѣе Варъ-Пянжи. Вдоль ея тянется дорога изъ Шагнана черезъ Шева Памиръ въ Файзабадъ8).

Обѣ рѣки почти одинаковы и но соединеніи равняются по своей величинѣ двумъ третямъ главной рѣки, которая продолжаетъ называться Аб-и-Пянжа. Суданъ впадаетъ нѣсколько миль южнѣе Барь-Пянжи. Въ этомъ мѣстѣ долина расширяется почти до четырехъ'миль; здѣсь находится много обработанной земли и пастьбищъ. По берегамъ двухъ рѣкъ—Шахъ-дара и Гхундъ находится много деревень.

From Kuguz Parin to Darband Tower there are numerous villages scattered along both banks of the river. The chief town, Bar Panjab, is on the left bank.... The valley at Bar Panjah is about four miles wide and contains a great inany houses and gardens. The river runs in numerous channels separated by jungle covered islands. In July ind August, when there is much water in the river, all travellers have to cross at Bar Panjah, to the other bank, the road on the left bank being then impracticable. i) Ibd., стр. 278: In its passage through Shighnan the Oxus receives two considerable affluents on the left bank, the Shewa and Vacherv River.

The rormer is crossed by a good bridge, and was about 25 yards in width, and unfordable, when the Mimshi passed in May. It flows from a lake in Shew 4 Pamir... The Vacherv River is about the same size as the Shewa stream, and joins the Panjah io the south of Bar Panjah. Along it lies a much frequented road from Shighmin, over the Shewa Pamir to Faizabad. О Ibd., стр. 279: On its right bank the Oxus riceives one very large river, the Suchan formed by two large streams, the Shakhdara and the Ghund, which unite about half a mile before joining the Panjah. The two branches are of about equal size, and the united stream is about two thirds of the size of the main river, which continues to be called the АЪ-i-Panjah. The Suchiu stream enters a few miles south of Bar Panjah. The valley opens opposite the junction to a width of about four miles, forming a beautiful well cultivated plain, with a good deal of pasture land.
