The hills upon which these are found are from three to four hundred feet high, and are conical in form, with flattened and discoloured tops and precipitous sides.

At their bases are numerous fissures and cavities reaching far into their interior.
Captain Hart, who visited these geysers some years ago, describes them as basins of liquid mud, about a hundred paces in diameter, in a continual state of eruption.

These geysers, or "chandra-kupr," as they are called by the Baluchis, are also found on parts of the Mekran coast.

Colonel Ross, H.M.'s Resident at Bushire, is of opinion that these coast craters have communication with the sea, as the state of the tides has considerable influence on the movements of the mud.

This theory is, perhaps, strengthened by the fact that by the coast natives the volcanoes are called "Darya-Chan," or "Eyes of the Sea." On the way back from Shahr-Rogan to Beila a herd of antelope was seen.
