Route No. l—<ontd.
At Hijdad —good but limited.
At lUian-i-Kkurreh —bad ; drinking water for the men should
be carried from Behbid.
At Mehidr —water in cistern is bad ; water should be obtained
from irrigation channels.
At Marq —not good. Men’s drinking water should be
brought from Mehlar.
Fuel ,—From Shiraz to Slvand, particularly oyer the Marv-
dasht, fuel is scarce near the road and timely notice would be
necessary to collect it in large quantities at any particular point.
Thence to Dehbid a fair amount within easy distance of the road
and plentiful in the Tang-i-Bulaki. The gardens round Surmak
and the villages on from thgre to Abadeh would furnish a
plentiful supply. Very scarce from Abadeh to Yazd-i-Khast,
but at the latter place a very plentiful supply from the gardens.
Qumisheh and the villages round obtain wood from the fruit
gardens and from the E. side of the mountains separating this
portion of the country from the desert. From Qumisheh to
Isfahan very scarce.
dodder, rrom April to the end of June good grazing for all
animals from Shire z to Dehbid. Camels find their own fodder
for eight months and are fed from December to April. The Arab
tribesmen find grazing for extensive flocks from May to Septem

should be made before attempting this march with any

resources for the ordinary necessaries of life, and the passage of
a large force through it, drawing on the country, would in
most places result in a famine.
At Shir"z and Isfahan supplies for a division for some time.
At stages, 15, 16, 17, 21, 22, 26 for a regiment with transport,
and perhaps a larger force.
At stages 24 and 25 for half a battalion with transport.
. At stages 18, 19, 20, 23, 27 and 28 practically nil.
The Mashed-i-Murghab district is a great grain-growing coun
try : in any year following good harvest the supply of grain pro
curable is abundant, even in mid-winter, as transport is never #
available to take it away. The country round Dehbid is fertile,
and although nothing can be procured in Dehbid itself, from the
