The river of this name crosses the route at mile 16|, and is merely a
dry river-bed. At the point where it passes the new Padaha post (locally
known as Kaleh Safid)andthe MIrjawa cultivation, it is a most insigni
ficant dry sandy ndld only, some 20 yards wide, and about 2 feet deep.
Local evidence is unanimous in proving that the Dar-i-Biaban does not
begin to be called the Talab until it passes the Kuh-i-Rihl and reaches,
according to some authorities, the junction of the Rlhi Nala, 28 miles
below Kaleh Safid, and according to others, the Talab spring, 41 miles
below Kaleh Safid.— {McMahon, May 1905.)
One and a half miles below the point where the river-bed crosses the road,
there is a good halting-place on a plain. Grass, wood, grazing and water
abundant. Height where river crosses route, 5,416 feet.— {Jennings, 1885.)

Gwadar to Jalk between Isfandak and Dafi-i-Afi. Perennial water at
Darida village some miles down the ndld.
The Darida Nala rises in the Sianeh Kuh and flows south into the Mash-
kid river.
At mile 280 on above route, which runs throguh the broad ndld-hed,
is a large banded tank of rain-water for watering flocks and herds. It is
some acres in extent and several feet deep.
Much dwarf palm about, also some tamarisks, and grazing is plentiful ;
but grass, if wanted in quantity, would have to be brought from the hills
close by. {See also Isfandak.)

DAR-I-KISHKIN or DARREH KISHKIN— Lat. 27° 45' 8 " ; Long. 59° 46'
41"; Elev. 2,830'.
The name of a halting-place—camping-ground somewhat cramped—at
mile 67J, on route Bampur to Rigan, between Gazzaq and Dar-i-Ahu.
“Kishk ” in Baluchi (local dialect) means “ the juncture of several ndlds
or roads.” Here three waZas join, hence the name. The road onwards runs
up the middle one. Supplies nil. Grass, wood, grazing abundant, and
a perennial flowing stream, the water of which, however, is rather brackish.
These ndlds drain into the Milan-i-Jihun Hdmun. — {Jennings, 1882.)
