		Coad (1997a) proposed that the limits of Gedrosia be extended westwards to encompass the Iranian part of the Mashkel basin, along coastal Makran as far west as the Minab River, and internally to include the Jaz Murian and southern Lut basins.
		At the species level Gedrosia is most closely related to the adjacent Yaghistan and Indus basins to the east, then to the adjacent Sistan and Hormozgan basins, and least of all to the remoter Tigris-Euphrates basin.
		The significant absences are of taxa found in the Tigris-Euphrates basin to the west and in the Indus basin to the east.

		Balochistan was sparsely populated by various tribes, possibly of Dravidian and Indo-Iranian origin, for centuries following the decline of the nearby Harappa-Mohenjo-daro civilisation to the east.

		The first satrap appointed by Alexander was Apollophanes; he was replaced by Thoas, who soon died and was replaced by Sibyrtius, the satrap of Carmania, who was now given charge of both the Gedrosians and the Arachosians.
		The coast of Gedrosia was described by Nearchos, Alexander's admiral, whose account has partly survived in Arrian's Indica (pp.
		It is therefore perhaps not so surprising that the name of Gedrosia is never mentioned in Achaemenid sources; instead we find the name of Maka (e.g., DB 1.17), which covered much of the coastline along the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea.
