Lake in the Miani niabat of the Las Bela State in Baluchistan, lying between 25° 27' and 25° 35' N. and 66° 37' and 66° 41' E. It runs north and south, and when full is about 9 miles long by 2 miles broad. During the greater part of the year the average depth is 3 to 5 feet, but the south-west corner, called Kun, is deeper. On the occurrence of floods tlie level of the water is raised 10 or 12 feet. The water is brackish, the lake having been formed by the gradual recession of the sea. Thousands of water-fowl resort to the lake in the cold season, and it contains many small fish.
