DADUR, in Beloochistan, a town of Cutch Gundava, situate near the base of the Hala mountains, five miles east of the Bolan Pass. It is described as a place of considerable size, and contains a population of about 3000. The heat is intense, and probably exceeds that of any other place in the same parallel of latitude. The Rev. J. N. Allen, who resided there in the month of February, thus describes its state in this respect at that early season. "It is indeed a dreadful place, and seems from its situation formed to be, as it really is, one of the hottest places in the world. It receives the reflected heat of the sun from the towering bank of bare rocky mountains under which it lies, and which, surrounding it on three sides, casts down the rays upon it as upon the focus of a reflecting mirror." Here, in November 1840, a British force was attacked by Nusseer, the son of Mehrab Khan, who had fallen in the storm of his capital, Kelat. Nusseer's army, amounting to 4000 Beloochees, was quickly routed; and in the pursuit, the headless body of Lieutenant Loveday, who had been stationed at Kelat as political agent to the British government, was found fastened on a camel.
