Part of Royal Asiatic Society Governance: Correspondence Volume Two
'Extract of a letter from Lt. Pollock addressed to Colonel Sykes, dated Kohut, 30 March 1850' in which he writes about the salt mines of 'Malgeen'. These are one day's march from a place called Nakbund where sulphur ore can be obtained. Pollock describes his journey to the area and how the mine is not regularly worked. He has sent specimens to Peshawar for further analysis as his geological knowledge is not sufficient.
