726 Sketch of the Physical Geography of SeiStan, [No. 103. 



of the Hamoon regarding which I do not feel satisfied, is to the south, 

 where we have fewer opportunities of checking our information. 



It is a source of much regret that we did not visit Zirreh; ignorant 

 of the geography of the country, we were not aware of our having 

 travelled away from it, till it was too late to repair the error ; and as that 

 part of Seistan is now uninhabited and rarely visited, it was difficult to get 

 any satisfactory account of its present condition. 



Of all the places inserted in the map which did not come under our 

 personal observation, the relative positions alone can be depended on. 

 The distances from one spot to another are in many instances doubtful, if 

 not conjectural.
