KARATEPEH.
valley or basin between them. At the foot of the
last declivity Karatepeh is situated, where we ar
rived about a quarter before twelve. The stage is
called seven hours. We saw a large flock of ante
lopes to-day. On our left hand, as we entered
the town, noticed the burying ground, which for
the number of little domes in it looked like a
village.
Karatepeh is this year rented of government for
forty thousand piastres. It is watered by a cut
from the Diala, above Zengabad. The principal
produce is cotton and daree, or Indian corn ; a small
quantity of rice is grown likewise.
The people of Karatepeh call themselves Turco
mans, and Turkish is the only language used. There
are some of the people called Ali Ulahees, Ismae-
lians, or Tcheragh Sonderans, residing here. A
fine cool day, with a refreshing north-west wind.
Thermometer, 82°.
March 31.si'.
We mounted this morning at a quarter before
seven. All appearance of cultivation soon termi
nated, and was succeeded by a bare plain, with here
and there -some scanty grass, but most generally
covered with nitre as thick as if there had been
a fall of snow. We journeyed due south to the
bridge of the Nareen, where we arrived about eight.
