337 miles. , 23 stages.
Authorities. —Vaughan, 1888, 1890. Anotated by
Wilson, 1907.
Epitome .-—The route as far as Darab is part of the main
caravan route from Lingeh to Taiab,, where it joins the main
route to Yazd. It is scarcely ever used at present on account
of the difficulties of the route and of the liability to raids by
marauders. The country traversed is mountainous and would
be impassable for wheeled artillery.
Water .—Water is on the whole plentiful.
jMeL— Chiefly in the form of thorn and camel shrubs.
Fodder .—Grazing appears to be plentiful throughout for
camels and donkeys.
Supplies .-—Scarce along route except at Tarab and Tar,
where they are plentiful. Between Lar and Darab there are
sheep and goats in numbers.
