| | | | | | |
8 | 2½ | 2 |_Kooshabad_ | | | | Marching west from
| | | | _Sultaniéh_, passed through mountains.
| | | | | | |
8 | 2½ | 2½ |_Beejaeen_ | 300| 150| 150| The road led across a
| | | | plain; passed a considerable village
| | | | on the plain. There is a running
| | | | stream near _Beejaeen_.
| | | | | | |
11 | 3½ | 3 |_Jereen_ | 150| 60| 40| More villages.
| | | | | | |
18 | 5½ | 5 |_Arpadurrasi_ | 250| 150| 100| Crossed the bed of a
| | | | river, after leaving _Jereen_. At two
| | | | _fursungs_ passed some defiles; and
| | | | continued on an ascent all the rest
| | | | of the march. Soon after _Jereen_,
| | | | we came into the country of the
| | | | _Karaguzloos_.
| | | | | | |
16 | 4½ | 4 |_Surla_ | 300| 200| 200| First part of the road
| | | | was on a plain; on the right hand
| | | | were two or three villages. During
| | | | the latter part of to-day’s march,
| | | | saw the famous mountain of _Alwund_.
| | | | | | |
24 | 6½ | 5½ |_Hubbadraheng_ |2000| 600| 500| Passed through the
| | | | village _Dumma_. Many villages
| | | | besides.
| | | | | | |
7 | 2 | 2 |_Veean_ | 150| 100| 100| The country about
| | | | here looks prosperous.
| | | | | | |
20 | 6 | 5 |_Joureekan_ | Large Village| The country
| | | | cultivated, and villages. From the
| | | | summit of a hill, had a view of the
| | | | fertile plain of _Hamadan_.
| | | | | | |
3¼ | 1 | 1 |_Hamadan_ | | | | _Shevereen_ is a
| | | | village three miles from _Hamadan_.
| | | | _Hamadan_, situated at the
| | | | foot of the east side of the
| | | | mountain of _Alwund_. Many
| | | | streams fall from _Alwund_
| | | | into the plain. _Alwund_
| | | | appears at a distance to be
| | | | one long range of mountains.
| | | | I am assured the length of
| | | | _Alwund_ Proper is not more
| | | | than three _fursungs_ in
| | | | length; and is distinct from
| | | | the northern range. Through
| | | | the interval between these two
| | | | ranges, leads the road to
| | | | _Kermanshah_.
| | | | | | |
12 | 3 | 3 |_Zagha_ | 400| 300| 200| Many villages all
| | | | around.
| | | | | | |
12 | 3 | 3 |_Asadabad_ | 600| 500| 400|One _fursung_ from
| | | | _Zagha_ came to a pass in the
| | | | mountain. Many streams from the
| | | | hills. There is a village one mile
| | | | within the pass: and near to
| | | | it, is a caravanserai, which
| | | | is the boundary of the
| | | | district of the _Karaguzloos_.
| | | | Our march then continued for
| | | | three miles through the hills,
| | | | and then opened the following
| | | | view: plain of _Hamadan_ to
| | | | the Eastward; to the Westward
| | | | the plain of _Asadabad_,
| | | | surrounded by the mountains
| | | | and the village of
| | | | _Asadabad_, considerably
| | | | beneath us; to the Northward,
| | | | the distant mountains of the
| | | | _Courdistan_; and to the
| | | | Southward those of
| | | | _Looristan_. From here to the
| | | | plain, the descent was four
| | | | miles.
| | | | | | |
24 | 6 | 6 |_Kungavar_ |1000| 800| 500| This village is
| | | | situated on the north side of its
| | | | plain.
| | | | | | |
18 | 4½ | 4½ |_Sahna_ | 400| 300| 300| Passed by one or two
| | | | villages: springs of water on the
| | | | side of the mountain. Plain well
| | | | watered. Near to the village
| | | | of _Sahna_, we crossed two
| | | | other considerable streams
| | | | which seemed to descend from
| | | | the hills that form the N.
| | | | side of the plain.
| | | | | | |
16 | 4 | 4 |_Beesitoon_ | | | | From _Sahna_ two or
| | | | three miles, our road led up the
| | | | plain; then it took a more southerly
| | | | course. The streams of
| | | | yesterday uniting, form a
| | | | considerable river, and we
| | | | kept by the banks of it all
| | | | day. Near to the famous
| | | | mountain of _Besitoon_, we
| | | | crossed a bridge, over a
| | | | river, that takes its rise in
| | | | the N. W. mountains on our
| | | | right, and joined the river
| | | | before mentioned. The river
| | | | that runs down this valley is
| | | | called the _Chum-chumal_,
| | | | from a village of the same
| | | | name. Here are characters
| | | | sculptured like the
| | | | Persepolitan.
| | | | | | |
15 | 3½ | 4 |_Hissar Sefeed_| | | |Road over an
| | | | uncultivated plain; to the left a
| | | | small running stream. The river of
| | | | yesterday seemed to take a
| | | | more S. direction among the
| | | | mountains; and we lost it
| | | | after leaving the valley of
| | | | _Busitoon_. We saw
| | | | _Kermanshah_, and encamped six
| | | | miles from the town.
| | | | | | |
| | |_Kermanshah_ | | | | One hour and a
| | | | half leaving our encampment,
| | | | crossed a good bridge of
| | | | seven arches, over the
| | | | river which was running
| | | | to the south, and said to
| | | | join those that run down
| | | | the valley _Kusistoon_, to
| | | | form the _Shooster_ river.
| | | | The _Tauk-e-Roustan_ is in
| | | | the north range of
| | | | mountains about seven
| | | | miles from _Kermanshah_.
| | | | The river in the plain to
| | | | the N. of the town runs
| | | | south, and joining with
| | | | that from _Sahna_ and
| | | | _Besitoon_, adds its stream
| | | | to the large _Shooster_
| | | | river. They call this
| | | | river _Kara Sou_: it is
| | | | said to take its rise in
| | | | the mountain of
| | | | _Kourdistan_, forty
| | | | miles to the northward of
| | | | _Kermanshah_.
| | | | | | |
14 | 3 | 3 |_Maheedasht_ | 20| | | Seven miles from
| | | | _Kermanshah_ descended
| | | | into the plain of
| | | | _Maheedasht_.
| | | | | | |
20 | 5 | 5 |_Haroonabad_ | 100| 60| 5| Plain of _Haroonabad_;
| | | | is well watered. Crossed a
| | | | bridge soon after quitting
| | | | the village. The bed of
| | | | the river large.
| | | | | | |
18 | 5 | 5 |_Kerrund_ | 300| 200| 200|The mountains at
| | | | _Kerrund_ contract, and leave an
| | | | open space at the
| | | | distance of seven miles
| | | | further on; through which
| | | | the road descends into the
| | | | Turkish territory.
| | | | | | |
30 | 8 | 7 |_Pool-e-Zohaub_| | | |Seven miles from
| | | | _Kerrund_ is the pass that
| | | | separates Persia from
| | | | Turkey.--_Zohaub_ is a
| | | | large town, not far
| | | | distant from the bridge
| | | | called _Pool-e-Zohaub_,
| | | | where we encamped.
| | | | | | |
20 | 4 | 5 |_Kasr-e- |Small | |Piastres|
| | | Shereen_ |Place.| | 3000 | The _Alwund_,
| | | | which takes its rise in the
| | | | mountains of _Kerrund_, runs near
| | | | _Kasr-e-Shereen_.
| | | | | | |
| | | | | | |
18 | 5 | |_Khanakee_ |2000| |8000|Built on the banks
| | | | of the _Alwund_: here is a good
| | | | bridge.
| | | | | | |
18 | 5 | |_Kizzil Robat_ |1500| | | And the revenues
