BUCKOR, a province of Asia, subject to the Great Mogul. It is seated on the river Indus, on the banks of which there are corn and cattle; but the west part, which is bounded by Sagesstan in Persia, is a desert. The inhabitants are strong, robust, and apt to mutiny; for which reason the Mogul has a garrison at the chief town called Buckor, which is seated in an island made by the river Indus. They are all Mahometans, and drive a great trade in cotton cloth and other Indian commodities. E. Long. 70. 5. N. Lat. 28. 20.
