BULTI, or BULTISTAN, a small Tibetian state, lying between the parallels of 34° 30′ and 35° 40′ N, and the meridian of 74° and 76° 35′ E. It is sometimes called Iskardoh from its cap. or principal collection of huts. In Kashmir it is called Suri-Butan, i. e., Apricot Butan,' from the quantity of that species of fruit which it produces. From European geographers it frequently receives the name of LITTLE TIBET. It appears to be the Byltee of Ptolemy, which he places "juxta montem Imaum;" and seems to correspond to the Toorkhend of D'Anville. Its general outline is that of a parallelogram lying WNW and ESE, the upper angle of which is the head of the valley of Haramosh, in N lat. 35° 48′; and the most southerly may be placed in about N lat. 34° 25'. Its area is about 12,000 sq. m. [Vigne]. On the N it is bounded by Chinese Tartary, from which it is separated by the Muztagh chain and the Karakorum prolongations of the Hindukush; on the E it has Ladak or Middle Tibet; on the S it is separated by elevated sterile tracts from Kashmir; on the W lie the small independent states of Ghilgit, Astor, and Yessen. The valley of the Indus, at Iskardo, is about 6,300 ft. above sea-level; and the surface rises to the N of that river, which flows through B. in a NW direction, with a breadth varying from 100 to 200 yards. The Shighar, flowing from the N, joins the Indus at Iskardo, and a few miles further to the E, the Indus receives the Shyyok, which at the point of confluence is 150 yards wide, while the Indus is only 80, though, from its depth, presenting a larger volume of water. There are several lakes, and some hot springs. The climate is exceedingly severe in winter in the more elevated regions; but the therm. in summer, on the low grounds, ranges from 70° to 90°. Rain seldom falls. The soil generally is sterile, but is made by industrious cultivation and irrigation to yield wheat, barley, millet, rice, and turnips. Apricots, peaches, apples, melons, grapes, and mulberries are grown. The inhabitants are Shiah Mahommedans, speaking a dialect of Tibetian. Their complexions are sallow, and their physiognomy a mixture of the Mongolian and Indian or Persian.The fullest and most recent account we have of B. will be found in the 2d vol. of Vigne's Travels in Kashmir.

the British government, though seldom interfered | mouth of a river of the same name issuing from with in their internal administration.-The Ken or Cane river, which falls into the Jumna at Chilatara, after a N course of 230 m., divides this prov. into two nearly equal portions. The Desan, rising in the Vindhya chain, joins the Betwa, near to its junction with the Jumna in this prov., after a course of 220 m. The Betwa, or Betwah, rising near Bhopal, crosses B. in a NE direction, and falls into the Jumna below Amerapur. Numerous artificial reservoirs of water exist in this prov.-The mountains of B. form three parallel ranges, each supporting a table-land, and successively rising in alt. The most northerly of these ranges is a part of the great Vindhyan zone. The plains of B., stretching along the Jumna, resemble a vast bay bounded by this range; and as the soil rises progressively from the bed of the Jumna to the apex of this bay, the range at this point has an alt. of only 300 ft. above the subjacent territory. The second range, called the Pannaghats, runs parallel to the first range, preserving a distance of about 10 m. from summit to summit. The table-land betwixt these two ranges is 1,200 ft. above the level of the Gangetic plain, and varies only from a perfect level by occasional protrusions of rock. It increases in elevation towards the SW. The third range called the Bundair or Bander range, occurs at about an equal distance beyond the second, and its contour describes in miniature the greater curves of the lower ranges.-There are no forests in B., but considerable tracts of jungle. The valleys and lower lands generally present a rich black loamy soil, which when irrigated produces the sugarcane, cotton, indigo, wheat, barley, and every species of the pulse and lentil tribe. There are vast tracts of reclaimable waste land. Among the more valuable productions of the soil is the catechu gum, the produce of the Mimosa catechu, which grows here in great abundance. The tree, after being felled, is barked and chipped while the sap is flowing; the chips, as soon as cut, are thrown into earthen pots half-filled with water, and ranged in rows over fires, and are boiled until the inspissated juice acquires a proper consistency. The liquor is then strained and suffered to cool, and soon coagulates into a mass. The diamond mines of B. are situated between the first and second ranges of hills, near Panna, at an alt. of from 1,200 to 1,300 ft. above sea-level, and belong chiefly to the rajah of Panna, who derives from them a revenue of 30,000 rupees. The stones are found in a red gravelly soil, at from 3 to 15 ft. below the surface. Contiguous to the diamond dis-1. trict, but separated from it by the river Cane, or on the W side of that river, are rich iron mines, which are wrought by the Gonds, and other hill-tribes. The metal, after the first rude process of extraction, can be purchased at the mines for about 3s. 6d. the maund 80 lbs. avoird.-The natives of B. manufacture a coarse kind of cloth, which they stain red by the root of the Morinda citrifolia.
