About the Book

: To others the very title may require explanation; for "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 Kuh-i- Nushadir. Mr. Floyer's removal from the inhospitable shores of the Persian Gulf to the direction of the Egyptian telegraph, and my own official residence in Cairo, have enabled us to renew the associations of bygone years. They explain, moreover, how I have been asked, and have consented, to write these few lines of preface to a book which might otherwise have been introduced under more brilliant auspices. About The Author: Ernest Ayscoghe Floyer (1852–1903) was an English colonial official, and explorer in Baluchistan and the Sudan. Born on 4 July 1852 at Marshchapel, Lincolnshire, he was eldest surviving son of the Rev. Ayscoghe Floyer (d. 1872) and his wife Louisa Sara Floyer (1830–1909), daughter of the Hon. Frederic John Shore of the Bengal Civil Service, and granddaughter of John Shore, 1st Baron Teignmouth, and writer on needlework. Educated at Charterhouse School from 1865 until 1869, he served for seven years in the Indian telegraph service, stationed on the coast of the Persian Gulf. For services to the military authorities Floyer received the Egypt Medal with clasp, and the Khedive's Star. He had mastered of Arabic including dialects. He died at Cairo on 1 December 1903.Works:Unexplored Baluchistan (1882) describes: Floyer's journey of exploration from Jask to Bampur; a tour in the Persian Gulf; and a journey of exploration from Jask to Kerman via Angohran. There are appendices on dialects of Western Baluchistan and on plants collected. Floyer described his Egyptian explorations in: The Mines of the Northern Etbai; Notes on the Geology of the Northern Etbai; Further Routes in
