The rough boundaries therefore on the east and south. caU be defined as
those demarcated by Goldsmith in 1871, and Holdich in 1896, between
Persian and British territory ; while on the west, the watershed dividing
the drainage of the Shahrl and Sarbaz rivers marks its western limits. To
the north it is open, being bounded by the district of Sarhad, but the
division between the two is very ill-defined and shadowy.
The sub-districts mentioned above, though nominally dependent on
Dizak, are in reality semi-independent; their Sardars pay little or no
attention to orders received, and revenue from them is only collected by
armed force. . .
The total revenue extorted in 1902 was as follows, but in each year it is
liable to variation :—
