XIX A SNOWSTORM IN THE DESERT 209
tract called Chellgadir (2589 feet). From here we command the following points : to the south-east is seen Tallhe from S. 35° E. to S. 63° W. stretches the outline of Siah-kuh, the eastern part of which is called Lekkau (properly Lek-ab), while Chihil-sengu, Shur-ab-i-madmisu, Ab-gulle, and Cheshme-gur are springs within this district. N. 83° E. rises Kuh-i-gugird, and S. 82° E. is situated a well called Cha-mishmess by a small projection which was visible in front of us during the latter half of the day. N. 49° E. a small white point is conspicuous in the plain, said to be a ruin called Pole-siah-shikesse.
Near this day's camp we meet a caravan, its 15 camels carrying dry steppe shrubs from the Tallhe district to be used as fuel. It has just begun its march, and will go all night long and morning in one stage to Kerim Khan, after having travelled all the previous night. We ourselves have travelled 15/ miles.
