inhabitants each, dwelling in from 80 to 60 temporary huts. The
produce of the country not required for home consumption is either
consumed by passing caravans or is exported to Kazrun or Bushahr.
The imports are piece-goods, sugar, and coffee for home use. The
revenue, amounting to 7,000 tumans, is levied in the lump. The
safety of the road traffic is provided for by the chief of the district,
who maintains 50 irregular footmen for that purpose. The chief is
responsible for all goods lost or plundered from caravans within his
district, and charges a sort of transit due of 25 cents, of a kiran on
every load of piece-goods, and 12| cents, on every load of miscella
neous merchandise. Colonel Pelly is of opinion that English troops
could not summer in tents or huts at Khisht without suffering. He
passed two days in the sarai during July and two days in early part of
September, during both periods a fiercely hot wind blew all day. In
July the thermometer was at 96° in the early morning and about
110° in the heat of the day. Supplies are obtainable from the town
of Khisht, which is 4 miles north-west of Kunar Takhta on the
Shiraz-Bushahr road via Kazrun. [Felly.)
