ABSTRACT

In Chapter X L II I have dealt with the delimitation of the northern frontier of Afghanistan from Zulfikar Pass to the Oxus. In this chapter I describe, firstly, the labours of the Pamir Commission which completed the delimitation of the northern frontiers of the Amir in 1895. This international Commission was of premier importance. Secondly, I shall deal with the boundary Commission under M r. (later Sir Richard) Udny, which was charged with delimiting the Afghan boundary from the Hindu Kush to the recognized frontier at Landi Kotal, to be followed by other missions to the Kurram Valley and to Waziristan.
