MAMUND

mamund, a pathan tribe and valley on the peshawar border of the north-west frontier province of india. the mamunds live partly in bajour and partly in afghan territory, due north of the mohmands, a much larger tribe, with whom they must not be confounded. they are one of the clans of the tarkanis (q.v.), and number 6000 fighting men; they gave much trouble during the chitral campaign in 1895, and again during the mohmand expedition in 1897 they inflicted severe losses upon general jeffrey's brigade.
