in the neighbourhood of Ziarat it has out innumerable
gullies all over the plain and a wide detour has to be made.
The Daliki bridge consists of 6 stone arches made of large
cut stone blocks. The road way is 30 feet wide with a parapet,
3 feet high on either side. It is paved with fiat stone blocks.
The highest arch is the third from the south end and has a
clearance of 20 feet. Other arches have a clearance of about
15 feet. The bridge is in good repair, but is not strong enough for
heavy motors. Its total length is 120 yards. The water channel
is under the south end, and after rain is only about 25 yards wi e.
The current is strong.
There are fords at Diilik', Hooregah and Kulul, though ordi
narily the stream is fordable for cavalry and infantry almost
anywhere.
The water of this river is very salt.
(4) The Chdhkutah stream may be traced back to the small
river which waters the productive Khaviz (Khaiz) valley.
It is deep in places, but never very broad on its passage down
towards Ahram. In the plain between Ahram and Chah-i-
Plr there is practically no water in the autumn and its chief
importance would seem to be the way in which it has cut up
the plain for several miles and rendered it boggy, treacher
ous and impassable in the rainy season. In the summer it is
dry save for a few shallow pools of water heie and there. At
Ahraadi the river-bed is about 15 yards across, and has little
water, except after the winter rains, when it is frequently un-
fordable for days.
(5) The course of the Mand River, known in its upper
reaches successively as the Waz and Kara Aghach, was for long
unmapped. It rises in the mountains north of Khan-i-Zinian
at a place called Bun Rud; it luen flows south south-east
past Aiur to Kavar, its waters being utilized for irrigation at
many points from Khan-i-Zinlan to Fas-i-Rudak in the Dizgah
plain. It enters the Kavar plain by a defile, in which an ancient
stone dam built for irrigation purposes exists; thence it Hows
down the Kavar-Khafr valley to Taduan, where it cuts through
the end of the Kuh-i-Safld by a remarkable gorge and, after a
circuitous course amongst the mountains of the Simakan district,
emerges to the desolate Manyun valley (20 miles west of
Jahrum) where it is joined by the Fasa stream (practically dry in
summer), by the Maimand stream, end, a little further down
