As the works referred to have been written by scholarly men, who possess an intimate personal knowledge of the localities which they describe, the conclusions to which their investigations have conducted them may be accepted with confidence, and we propose to give here a brief summary of these conclusions so far as they concern our subject. The works are these: 1. _Alexander des Grossen Feldzüge in Turkestan_, von Franz Schwarz, München; 2. _The Indus Delta: a Memoir chiefly on its Ancient History and Geography_, by Major-General M. R. Haig, M.R.A.S., London; 3. _A Lecture on “The Retreat of Alexander the Great from India,”_ by Colonel Holdich, R.E., as reported in the Calcutta _Englishman_.
