the East by the river Baseel and the Koh-i. Malar; on the West by 

 Koh-i-Walmat ; on the North by the hill of Talaj-lok and Kolwar ; 

 and on the South by a hill and the sea. 



The water of the port is brackish. The chief of this place is Jan 

 Ally, son of Meer Jan Khan Sasai of Beloo, who has a resident deputy, 

 Meer Hak Jatgal. The revenue of the port may amount to 2,000 

 rupees Kashanee. 



The Meerwaders are enemies of the governor, while the Jatgals 

 are friends. Many families have a call (?) on refuge at Gwadar from 

 the extortions and tyranny of the governor of Harmarah. 



The productions are ghee, wool, fish maws, fins, and matting.

 mat- makers. 



8th September. — Proceeded to a pool called Sariab 5 kos in a E.

 road over the hills of Malan. 



Proceeded to Hingol 5 kos, a rivulet called by that name was a 

 difficult winding road. 



9th September. — Proceeded 4 kos to Hingolah, or the Hindoo 

 shrine of Mata Hinglaj. It consists of a well, the water of which
