BALUCHISTAN

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 297 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAI-BAR
BALUCHISTAN , a province of Persia consisting of the western
part
  of Baluchistan (q.v.) in a wider sense. Persian Baluchistan has an area of about 6o,000 sq. m., and lying along the nor- therm shore of the Arabian Sea, is bounded E. by British and
independent Baluchistan, N. by
Seistan
  and the central Persian
desert
 , and W. by
Kerman
 . The country has little water and only a small
part
  of it is under cultivation, the
remainder
  being composed of arid, waterless plains, desertssome stony, others with moving sandsbarren hills and mountains. The
principal
  rivers are the Mashkid and that of Bampur which flow away from the sea and are lost in depressions called hamuns. The rivers which flow into the sea are unimportant and dry during the greater part of the year. Persian Baluchistan forms an administrative division of the province of
Kerman
  and is sub-divided into the following twenty districts:(r) Bampur; (2) Serhad; (3) Dizek; (4) Jalk; (5) Sib; (6) Irafshan; (7) Magas; (8) Serbaz; (9) Lashar; (To) Champ; (II) Fannuj; (12) Bazman; (13) Aptar; (14) Daman; (15) Aprandagan; (16) Asfehgeh; (17) Surmij; (18) Meskutan; (19) Pushteh; (20) Makran, the country of the Ichthyophagi, with the sub-districts Kasrkand, Geh, Bint, Dasht, Kucheh and Bahu. The
total
 
population
  of Baluchistan is under 200,000. The province was practically independent until the occupation of Bampur by Persian troops in 1849, and over some of the extreme eastern districts Persian supremacy was not recognized until 1872.
