Epitome .—This is the main track from Shlt'z to Yazd ; it
strikes off from the main Shiraz Isfahan road at Dehbld. The
road is generally good and passable by all arms with the exception
of stage 9. In this stage the ascent of the Gardan-i-’All '.b d and
the Gardan-i-Shah Xishin would present some difficulty, and the
road would probably have to be improved for artillery ; carriages
have, however, been brought over these passes. Some of the
stages are long for troops but this is caused by the route running
over the desert.
Water. Available throughout, but near the desert it becomes .
salt and scanty in the summer months.
Fuel .—Practically unobtainable throughout.
Supplies .—Generally scanty.
