NOTE 4.–Marsden was right in identifying _Scassem_ or _Casem_ with the
_Kechem_ of D”Anville”s Map, but wrong in confounding the latter with the
_Kishmabad_ of Elphinstone–properly, I believe, _Kishnabad_–in the
Anderab Valley. Kashm, or Keshm, found its way into maps through Ptis de
la Croix, from whom probably D”Anville adopted it; but as it was ignored
by Elphinstone (or by Macartney, who constructed his map), and by Burnes,
it dropped out of our geography. Indeed, Wood does not notice it except as
giving name to a high hill called the Hill of Kishm, and the position even
of that he omits to indicate. The frequent mention of Kishm in the
histories of Timur and Humayun (e.g. _P. de la Croix_, I. 167; _N. et E._
XIV. 223, 491; _Erskine”s Baber and Humayun_, II. 330, 355, etc.) had
enabled me to determine its position within tolerably narrow limits; but
desiring to fix it definitely, application was made through Colonel
Maclagan to Pandit Manphul, C.S.I., a very intelligent Hindu gentleman,
who resided for some time in Badakhshan as agent of the Panjab Government,
and from him arrived a special note and sketch, and afterwards a MS. copy
of a Report,[1] which set the position of Kishm at rest.
