BAG—BAG
S3
BAGHt or DEHANEH BAGHJ—
Situated on the northern slope of the Kuh-i-Malusan about 24 miles north
of Nasratabad Sipi. It consists of a bungalow in which reside one and some
times two of the European staff of the Central Persian Telegraph Company.
Formerly these men lived at Nasratabad Sipi, but owing to the unhealthy
climate of that place their head-quarters were removed to JBaghI which is
more healthy being situated in the hills. There is a good and perennial
water supply from a cut, led down from one of the ndlds of the Kuh-i-
Malusan. This however dries up before it has gone a quarter of a mile
below the bungalow. The water is good for this part of the world, as, although
it contains salt, it is not particularly nauseous to the taste.
On the removal here of the telegraph employes from Nasratabad Sipi,
a branch telegraph was constructed to BaghI and thence to Garagheh where
the main Narmashir-Sistan or Nasratabad Robat route is again struck.
BaghI is connected by telephone with Robat and Nasratabad Sipi. Sup
plies nil. Camel grazing, very scarce. — {Gibbon, 1907.)
BAGH-I-’ARABABAD—
A hamlet in Ki man, 12 miles north of Kanaka, situated a short
distance off the Kuman road, under the Saguch range.— {Sykes, 1894.)
BAGH-I-ASAD, or GUDAR-I-BARUT (Khorasan)—Lat. 30° 55' 28";
Long. 57° 42' 0"— {Lentz) ; Elev. 1,160'.— {St. John.)
A halting-place in the Dasht-i-Lut in Southern Khorasan, on the road
from Far ah to Kirman, 92 miles from the latter. At this point the road
from Deh Salm joins that from Sar-i-Chah. There is a small stream of
bitter water called the Shur Rud (absolutely undrinkable) but no house.—
{Ferrier, KhaniJcoff.)
BAGH-I-BABU—
A village in Kirman, in the Halil Rud Valley, in Jiruft, on the road
between Bijnabad and Kirman, 5 miles south of Dag-i-Yanus. Water
and supplies available for a small party.
In 1900 there was found here an unguent vase of Greek manufacture
dating from the fourth century B. C. This forms a strong point in
favour of the theory that the army of Alexander the Great formed a
standing camp in this valley.— {Sykes, 1902 ; Newcomen, 1905 ; Galindo,
1887.)
BAGH-I-BGzGURMA (Kirman)—
A spot near the Gudar-i-Deh Bakri Pass, vide Aspi Darreh.

district, 8 miles from the town of that name, on the road to Rigan —•
{Grey, 1905.)
