Persia, when rne Russians commenced to take forced labour from them,
and were settled by the Chief of Bujnurd at Incha-i-Bala and Incha-i-
Pain, where they now are. But these are considered to be Bujnurd sub
jects, and do not form part of the Gurgan Guklans. Some 100 other
families of Dilli and Jan Kurbanli sections of the Kai branch are also
said to have lately come from Khiva, and are now settled at Chiklik at the
head of the Kara Balkhan valley.
The revenue assessment of the Guklans in Persian territory is fixed at
6,031 tumdns per annum, which has to be collected by the chief of Bujnurd
wl o has permanent charge of them, and after deducting the pay and
allowances of the 200 savdrs who are now kept up at a cost of about 3,000
tumdns per annum, the balance is paid by the Chief to the credit of the
Astarabad treasury. The Government assessment being fixed, it is thus
to the interest of the Chief and his local deputy to enumerate the Gflklan
at the lowest possible figure (900 or 1,000 families), as all the surplus
revenue derived goes into their own pockets, and were the Persian Govern
ment to get news that the numbers were increased, or the country more
quiet, they would promptly put on an extra assessment.
The following table prepared by Khan Bahadur Maula Bakhsh, under
the supervision of Colonel C. E. Yate, C.M.G., C.I.E., in 1894, gives the
names and numbers of the different sections of the Guklans, in Persian ter
ritory, as they are now said to stand :—
