CHAM-SANDAN.—Lat. 28 ° 59 '; Long. 63 ° 29 ' ; Elev.
A halting-place on the Amuri-Kaur on the road from Amir Chah to
Dalbandin via Merui. It is 75 miles distant from Amir Chah. A track
from Amir Chah to Kharan also passes through here. It is 166 miles
from Kharan.
There are 15 wells amidst clumps of trees close to the/// am.
Water is 24 feet from the surface, 3 feet to 5 feet deep, 3 feet diameter.
1 he water is good, but these pits require cleaning out. There are
several clumps of small round green rushes growing in different places
in the bed, so water is probably near the surface and more water could
easily be obtained by digging pits.
Camping-ground. —Unlimited ; good.
Grazing for camels. —Good and abundant : gaz, tagaz, jowassi,
terrkh
Grass —Barshok grows in some quantities in the vicinity.
In this Kaur bed also lies Paniham. {Roome) S
A halting-place on the read from Kharan to Amir Chah vid Regin.
It is 166 miles, ten stages from Kharan, and Butig, the next stage to
wards Amir Chah, is about 15 ^ miles. There is both well and river-
water, but the former alone is fit for drinking, the latter being verv
brackish. Wood plentiful ; grass very scarce. In 1903 the water was
found to be sweet but very dirty. As no precautions are taken to pre
vent animals with kafilas contaminating the water- in the wells on the
trade route, it is not easy to find clean water at any of the halting*
places. {Ahmad Alt Khan } Sub-Surveyor—^Scudatnore.)

On the road from Nushki to Dalbandin, 84 ^ miles from former.
Here the water issues from the ground, and, in some cases, runs over
the edges of the pits. The water is tainted by the defecta of camels,
etc. Any amount of good water could be obtained by dig CT ing fresh pits
to the south. j t>=>
Half a mile to the east and 40 ° yards to the north of the track is
another well. I he water is close to the surface and is over 12 feet deep ;
well 3 feet diameter. The water in it is bad from standing so long, but
the natives say, after the well has been emptied, the water comes in good
and potable. All around the well the water is near the surface, and
was running in a small nala 300 yards to the east ; 700 yards toth$ north
