TALAB—
A river on the eastern borders of Persian Baluchistan, forming for a
portion of its course the boundary between Persian and British territory.
The watercourse towards its northern source is called the Dar-i-Ghiaban,
and does not receive the name of Talab till about 40 miles south of Mir-
jawa, where pools form for the first time in the river-bed ; above this it is
generally dry except after heavy rain. It receives the eastern drainage
of the Kuh-i-Taftan mountain and the Siahan Kuh through the Ladis
and Bug streams, and eventually flows into the Mashkil//amim, where
its waters are lost by evaporation. There are various date-groves along
its banks, and a few nomad settlements, but no villages of any note within
Persian borders. ....
