Unfortunately the file is somewhat unsatisfactory. There is no Contents page and many pages are duplicated. For Chapter 2, go to digital file page 21, and for Chapter 3, df p29. At least the following pages appear to be missing in addition to the Contents: (actual) p 34-35 and Appendix page i. The supplement Operations against the Mohmands is also available to download as a pdf from Pahar-Mountains of Central Asia Digital Dataset. This edition possibly may be better quality than the DLI edition. If the catalogue entry does not have a download, look under 'Books'.
