Archæological Notes form the Hindukush Region
This is a preliminary account of some finds of archæological interest which have recently come to my notice in the tracts comprised within the Gilgit Agency south of the Hindukush. Separated by high ranges from the northern extremity of the Indian North-West Frontier, these tracts are too remote for their population of Dardic speech to have directly shared in the development of Indo-Aryan civilization in the great plains along the Indus and Gange…

The Ancient Trade Route past Hatra and its Roman Posts
In the spring of 1938 I was able with valuable help from the Royal Air Force and the material support of the Iraq Petroleum Company to carry out a survey of ancient remains along a portion of Rome's Mesopotamian Limes in the extreme north-west of Iraq. These explorations were closely connected with the researches which Père A. Poidebard, S.J., had effected before on the Syrian Limes and recorded in a masterly publication. In the following autumn …

Note on Remains of the Roman Limes in North-Western 'Iraq
IN an article published in the Journal for January 1936, on the work of Pere A. Poidebard, s.j., La trace de Rome dans le desert de Syrie,,, I had given an account of the very fruitful investigations, important in both their antiquarian and geographical results, which that distinguished French scholar had carried out in 1925-32 on the remains of the Roman Limes or defensive road system once protecting the eastern borders of Syria. In concluding m…

The present paper is an account, necessarily condensed, owing to the cost of printing, of an archaeological survey which I was able to carry through a great portion of the Iranian Province of Fārs between November 1933 and May 1934. Its object was to continue the researches which had led me during two preceding cold weather seasons from the extreme south-western border of British Makrān through large parts of Persian Balūchistān and Kermān to the…
The Roman Limes in Syria
Reply on being presented with the Society's Gold Medal
The great honour bestowed upon me to-night by your Council is one which I appreciate deeply but for which I find it difficult to thank you. The many years spent over work in the peaceful isolation of beloved deserts and mountains has ill prepared me for speaking at gatherings like the present. Also I cannot fail to-night to realize how distant are the special fields of my labours from the sphere of those great historical and archaeological intere…

The Site of Alexander's Passage of the Hydaspes and the Battle with Poros
THE question of the ground where Alexander secured his bold passage of the Hydaspes and fought his great battle with Poros has been long dis? cussed, but no definite solution has been reached and opinions have remained divided. This has been the result of conflicting locations having been proposed by those officers who in days long past had occasion to visit one portion or another of the ground where routes from the Indus crossing the Salt Range …

On the Ephedra, the Hūm Plant and the Soma
In choosing the subject for this short paper I am guided not solely by the fact that the archæological observations which first drew my attention to it were gathered in that field of my Central-Asian explorations with which I have fortunately been able to associate my old friend Professor Rapson as one of the earliest and most helpful of my collaborators. What invests certain curious finds among modest burial remains of the Lop desert with a spec…

IV. On some River Names in the Ṛgveda
The historical interest presented by Hymn x. 75 of the Ṛgveda, the famous Nadīatuti or “Song of the Rivers”, has been recognized ever since the critical study of Vedic literature began. The numerous ancient river-names of North-Western India therein mentioned furnish an indication more definite than can be found elsewhere of the area once occupied by, or familiar to, the Indo-Aryan people, to whom we owe the oldest literary remains of India as co…

Notes on Tirahi The Speakers of Tirahi
The country where Tirāhī is spoken belongs to that border region between India and Eastern Irān which since my youth has never ceased to attract me by its varied historical, geographical, and linguistic interest. So when after my first Central-Asian expedition my hope of being employed in the newly constituted North-West Frontier Province was realized, I was anxious to use whatever chance might offer for securing materials concerning that old lan…
