mabad are of the Shian * sect. The Kouh Seim contains mines of
silver. There are running streams at Koui Ummabad, and at
Harur; but for the purposes of husbandry rain water is used
there; also at Kaloun and Kaberoun, where they have well water.
The silver mines are on the road to Sarkhes.
v —KtS' Keif is a smaller place than Be in. Bein is larger
then Pousheng. Both Keif and Bein are well-watered, and abound
in gardens and orchards.
I Meru-al-rudf is a larger town than Pousheng, with
a considerable river, which is the same that runs to Meru
(Shahjan). Here are extensive gardens and orchards. The town
of v— Koushek Ahef is also well watered, and has
gardens, but not equal to those of Meru-al-rud. The air of
(^UUUo Talkan is wholesomer than that of Meru-al-rud. The
river runs between these, and is crossed over by a bridge. Here
are many gardens and plantations. Talkan is about the same
size as Meru-al-rud : it is situated amid hills; but has running
water, and orchards that produce good fruit.
