BIBI-MAH CHAH.—Lat. 29 0 9 ; Long. 6 o° 59 / ; Elev.
A spring in a nala on the south-western foot of the highest peak of
the Koh-i-Bibi Mah. The spring is amongst the roots of a large givan
tree and the peak towers above it. The nala here is very narrow, but
300 yards lower down opens out somew'hat and has several large
given trees in its bed. The water in the spring, of which there was a
large quantitv, was of the colour of very strong tea and had a most
offensive smell; the guide assured me however that after it had been
cleaned out the water was very good, and had only got into that state
from not having been used for a long time. Clearing out the spring
would be a matter of some difficulty, as the surface of the water is six
feet down and the water has a depth of three feet.
Near the spring is a dedicated to Bibi Mah, the sister of Pir
Sultan, who is the patron saint of camelmen. The camping-ground near
the spring is commanded by hills, and is small. Fuel is abundant, but
camel-grazing scarce and there is no grass, or other supplies. {Roome.)
