Slstan-Meshed telegraph line runa alongside the road over the pass.-—
(Wanliss, 1903,)
GUDiR-I-SIPAH SlLlR or GUDlR-I-SHARlFABlD—
A pass in Khorasan, about 20 miles south of Meshed, on the road to
Turbat-i-Haidari. The road is here carried over solid rock. It is a broad
track with very fair gradients, and was constructed by the Sipah Salar,
Governor-General of Khorasan, on the occasion of the Shah’s visit to
Khorasan in 1867.— (Goldsmid.)
GUDlYl— Lat. 37® 35" 0'; Long., 57° IT* 0”—(Stewart).
A village in the Bujnfird province of Khorasan, about 20 miles north
west of the town of Bujnurd.— (Stewart.)
GtBBACH or BACH-I-GtTD—
A halting-place and ruined village in Khorasan, 25 miles from Shahrtld
on the road to Turshiz. There is a. well of indifierent water here,, but no
supplies.— (Cleric; Tyler.)
GtlD-I-NASlR—
A plateau crossed by the Tehran-Shahrtld road by FflrQa KQh about
5 miles short of the plain of Fulad-Mahalleh.— (Nayier.)
GCDtJSHA—
A village in the Turbat-i-Shaikh Jam district in Khorasan, 13 miles from
Kalleh Minar pass, 24 miles from Shahn-i-Bala, 9 miles from Havas and
59 miles from Meshed.
It occupies a very strong position on the westerly road from Meshed to-
Herat. The fort is placed high above the left bank of the stream with steep,
scarped sides. It could, no doubt, be made almost impregnable, as it is
not commanded, and a short covered way would enable the garrison to
procure water from over the cliff.
Gudusha is inhabited solely by Barbaris, emigrants from the Hazarajat
in former days, who are now settled over this part of the country in con
siderable numbers. They are only cultivators^ owning no land themselves.
For instance Gudusha belongs to Mirza Muhammad Husain, Herati,
formerly Mustaufi andVazir at Meshed, who farms out the land to tho
Barbaris at half the produce. Out of this he supplies the seed and pays
the Government levenue, and the Barbari supplies the bulloeks and the
labour. These terms are rather more favourable than usual, to induce
men to settle here. Water good. Supplies scarce.— (MacGregor ; C. E. Yate.)
GUGA CHAT— Lat. 37° 43" 0*; Long. 56° 51" 0 *—(Intelligence Diiision t
War Office).
