A large watercourse in Bashakard, which the Minab-Bint road strikes
about 5 miles from the village of Gani, and ascends for some distance.
About ^ mile from the point where the road strikes it, the river is joined
by another stream called the Bashiraz, which comes down from the north.
The channels of both these streams are extremely rocky and full
of large boulders. There is a scanty growth of tall grass and reeds along
their margin, and the banks are steep and very broken. The Dhirdan
holds a good stream of water.— {Galindo, November 1&88.)

1902 his name was ’Abdulla Khan.) The fort is comparatively new,
having been built in 1900, and is situated alongside th“ ruins cf an old
one. It is about 40 feet high, 100 yards long by 60 broad, and con
structed on somewhat modern lines. It is divided into three portions, the

almost invisible from even a short distance away. A deep broad ditch
with flanking towers surrounds the whole, while a small town, prepared
