Unexplored Baluchistan - A survey, with observations astronomical, geographical, botanical, etc., of a route through Mekran, Bashkurd, Persia, Kurdistan, and Turkey

To those who have studied the politics and geographical position of the countries between Persia and Northern India—countries, a knowledge of which is of the highest importance to Englishmen at the present day—the subject of “unexplored Baluchistan” can scarcely fail to be attractive. To others the very title may require explanation; for Unexplored “ Baluchistan," known or unknown, is not restricted within universally accepted limits. Roughly stated, we may describe it as the region situated between the longitudinal lines 57 and 67, bounded on the south by the sea, and on the north by a line sufficiently above latitude 28 to take in the Kuh-i-Basman and Kuhi-i-Nushaidir.
