are several date groves and other villages in the neighbourhood, and sup
plies and water are abundant.— (Brazier-Creagh, 1893 ; from native inform
ation.)
SIRGAN or SARGAN—
A considerable watercourse which descends from the coast range in
Persian Baluchistan, and after a general southerly course of about
30 miles through a flat, sandy plain, falls into the sea immediately west of
Ras Puzim. Puzim village, if it still exists, is probably on the estuary of
this stream.
The Sirgan is crossed by the telegraph route from Gwatar to Jashk at
about 311 miles from Chahbar, and is usually made the third stage from
that place. On to the Kair river is 15 miles. The Sirgan is only a running
stream after rain, but throughout the winter months a good supply of
water may be obtained from holes in its bed. Firewood and camel forage
moderate.
Goldsmid, between the Kair and Tiz village, crossed a “ Khur Sangam r
coming from the hill of Beshiman, which was forded with comparative
ease.” This can hardly beany other than the Sirgan. Haji ’Abdul Nabi
in 1839 halted at a place called Sorlcum, one stage north of Pazm (i.e.,
Puzim). This too may have been on the Sirgan.
According to the telegraph map, the Sirgan rises west of, and near,
a peak marked as Chandari Kuh, about 8 miles north of the halting-place.
