MURlN PlSHEH—
A halting-place in the Bampur district of Persian Baliichistan. It is the
second on the road from Bampur to Qasrcjand, vto, Champ, and is
situated at the desert edge, near the hills south-east of Baniphr.
After crossing the Bampur river the read strikes south-east across the
sandy desert to Gvarpusht (q.v.), some distance beyond which it bends
south and strikes the foot slopes of the hills at about 10 miles. It then turns
south-west parallel to the hills crossing numerous ravines. At 15 miles is
the halting place of Murin Pisheh in a small ravine east of the road, where
there is a spring with a scanty supply of water. Firewood is procurable,
but no forage.
From Murin Pisheh the road continues south-west, skirting the hills as
before to Surmij or Surmich {q-v.), 13 miles.
The detour thus made is to avoid'the heavy' sand, which is almost im
practicable for laden camels in a direct line between Surmich and Bampur.
