60 THE BALOCH RACE
from one of Chakur's companions, nicknamed Gishkhaur,
who was a Kind. The name appears to be
really derived from the Gishkhaur, name of a torrent
in the Boleda Valley, Mekran, so this tribe is probably
of common descent with the Buledhl. There is a
Gishkhaurl sept among the Lasharl sub-tuman of the
Gurchani, and a clan among the Dombkl.
Tdlpur, or Talbur.—The well-known tribe to which the
Amirs of Sindh belonged, still represented by the Mini
of Khairpur. Identified by themselves, and by most
other accounts, with the Talbur clan of the Legharis,
but by some derived from an eponymic Talbur, grandson
of Bulo, and hence supposed to be of common
origin with the Bulerf/as.
Pitdfl. — Of uncertain orgin. Found in considerable
numbers in Dera Isma'Il Khan and Muzafargarh, and
as a clan of the Gurchanls in Dera Ghazi Khan.
Nutkdm, or Nodhakdnl.—A compact tribe, which till quite
lately was organized as a tuman, occupying the country
of Sangarh, north of Dera Ghazi Khan.
Kulachl.—Probably derived from Kolanch, in Mekran.
They accompanied the Dodais and Hots, and settled
near Dera lsma'11 Khan. The town of Kulachl still
bears their name, and they are most numerous in that
neighbourhood. There seems some probability that
they were a branch of the Dodal.
Gurmdnl.—This tribe is scattered through Dera Ghazi
Khan, Dera Isma'Il Khan, and Muzafargarh, but
nothing is known of its history.
Mashori.—An impure race, now found mainly in Muzafargarh.
There is a Masori clan among the Bughtl,
but there is probably nothing in common between
them.
Mastoi.—Probably one of the servile tribes, though not
mentioned in old poems. Found mainly in Dera
Ghazi Khan, where they have no social status.
Kwpchanl.—Mainly in Dera Isma'Il Khan.
t~t v_ J- In Dera Ghazi Khan.
