but the road goes a great deal up and down small spurs, and is in some
places impassable for artillery; it could however be easily made practicable

GTJDAR-I-DARMIAN.— Lat. , Long. ; Elev. 7,600'.
A pass in Khurasan, 6 miles from Isfizar, on the Birjand-Herat road. There
is a fine view from the top of the Kuh Gazia and the Bagfran. The ascent
and descent are steep for about a mile, and would require some makino* for
guns ; elsewhere the road is quite practicable.— [MacGregor, Stewart.)
GTJDAR-I-DIHRIJD.— Lat. , Long. ; Elev. 9,390'.
A pass in Khurasan, whose summit is 15 miles from Ja i-Gharak, on the
road to Mshapur from Mashhad. Its height above the sea is 9,390 feet,
and affords an extensive view of the plain of Mashhad on the one side, and
that of Mshapur on the other. The ascent from the east is very steep and
difficult, and the descent is even more so. The road is narrow and rockv,
and utterly impracticable for guns or even camels. It is only passable at
all in summer. The heights cannot be crowned, but it is said that the pass
can be turned from Dihrud. The range runs from north-west to south-east;
gradually subsiding towards the latter direction, but in the former risino*
into the lofty snow-clad mountains of Khawar and Binalud.— [Bellew,
Goldsmid.)
GtJDAR-I-GAZDlS.— Lat. ,Long. ; Elev. '.
A pass in Khurasan, on the road from Bfrjand to Farah in Afghanistan, and
about 70 miles from the former town. r ihe pass is an easy one. This pass
would seem to be the same as the Gudar-i-Gunda-Kuh of Dr. Bellew,
which see.— [MacGregor.)
GUDAR-I-GUADA KtJH.—L at. , Long. ; Elev.
A pass between Sfstan and Bfrjand in Khurasan, crossing a range which
runs south from the Saman Shahi to the Kuh Bagfran.— [MacGregor.)
GtJDAR-I-G UD— Lat. 33° 50' 0 r , Long. 58° 54'O'; Elev. 6,000' [St.
John).
A pass in Khurasan, 12 miles from Kain, on the road to Kakh. The summit
of the pass is 800 feet above the level of Kafn. The ascent from the south
is easy in dry weather, but would be impassable for laden beasts in wet
weather on account of the clay in the soil. The descent is by an easy
gradient to the valley of Nimbuluk, divided here from the Kafn subdivi
sion.— [Bellew, Goldsmid, MacGregor?)
GtfDAR-I-GUNDA-KtfH— Lat. , Long. ; Elev. 6,900'.
A pass in Khurasan, about 70 miles from Bfrjand, on the road to Farah in
Afghanistan. The altitude is nearly 7,000 feet, but the ascent from the
west is by a steep narrow path, gradually ascending the course of a ravine
from the Ab-i-Gunda-Kuh stream ; the descent is easy and by a good road.
For wheeled vehicles, the pass would require a good deal of making and some
blasting. This pass would seem to be the same as the Gudar-i-Gazdfs of
