Epitome.
This is the most frequented route between Bandar 'Abbas and
Yazd and is more especially used when the routes via Furg are
rendered unsafe owing to robbers. The track is only fit for
•camels and pack animals and would require the expenditure of
much time and labour to render it fit for the passage of wheeled
artillery.
From Zaidabad (stage 2) to Bahramabad (stage 6) the road
runs over mountain ranges and the going is difficult and bad.
The remainder of the route lies over the Kerman-Yazd road
which is passable for carriages.
Water .—Stages 7 to 14, see Route No. III. Stages 1 to 6,
water is good and plentiful.
