LAB TUB—
A village in Larak Island.
LlDGASHT— hi
A date-grove in the Jalk district of Persian Baluchistan. It is on the
i direct road from Panjgur to Sistan, and is 8 stages from the former.
It is apparently about 20 miles north-east or east-north-east of Jalk.
Ladgasht is one of the outlying date-groves described in the article
Jalk. Askan is 15 to 20 miles south-east, the intervening country being
a level plain with date trees and the remains of cultivation. Dehgwar
(q. v.) is the same distance, or more, to the north-west. There are no per
manent habitations or cultivation at Ladgasht on account of the insecu
rity of the country. Water from wells is good and abundant; firewood
and camel forage also plentiful.— [MacGregor.)
LADGUJ0 or LADGAJU—
A village in Makran on the Maluran river [q.v).
LADl— Elev. 1,500'.
A village in the Bampur district, 10 miles west of Kalanzau, on the
road to Bijnabad, and about 67 miles west-north-west of Bampur. It is
situated in quite a forest of tamarisk and thorn trees, some of fair size and
appearance. Flocks are numerous, and there is good grazing for camels.
The inhabitants are poor Baluch shepherds.
Euan-Smith says there are two wells here, both brackish, but one some
what better than the other.
In 1881 General Gasteiger Khan was sent to report on this place as
a post station on a new military road through Persian Baluchistan. It
(with the others on this road) was to be colonized and surrounded with
high walls for the protection of the inhabitants ; but this project does not
seem to have been carried out.— [Goldsmid ; Euan-Smith ; Gasteiger Khan ;
Brazier-Creagh, 1^94.)
LlDlS— Lat. 28° 53' 52" ; Long. 61° 15' 18" ; Elev. 4,186'.
A small district in Sarhad, about 53 miles north of Vasht. It is situ
ated on the banks of the Ladis river, which flows in an easterly direction
towards Mirjawa [q.v-), and consists of a ruined village and fort, deserted
years ago, with a little wheat cultivation. The soil is good ; there is an
unlimited supply of water from the river ; camel-grazing is abundant;
but fuel is scarce, and other supplies are nil. The fort is reputed to have
been built about A.D. 1400 by Timur Shah Tartar, but is now abandoned
owing to the undermining action of water on the clifis on which it stands.
