badGnd—
A village of Khorasan, about 30 miles from Meshed, towards Khaf. The
village, though small, has rich pasture lands and many cattle and horses.—
{Stewart.)
BADUSHK—
A village in the Shahrud plain, near Shahrud city.— {MacGregor.)
BAFQ— Elev. 3,200'.
A town in Yazd, 70 miles east of that town and 140 from Kirman ; it has
some 3,000 inhabitants and stands in the midst of a wild desolation. An
cient qandts supply it with brackish water, and it abounds in mulberry,
pomegranate, and palm trees, which fill the gardens that extend 2 miles
to the north of the town, and almost connect it with two little outlying
hamlets. From a distance it looks stately and prosperous, but is really
poverty-stricken and stagnant. No trade has taken root here, as the
town lies off the main road. Twenty-six miles from Bafq is what is called
its gate. It is the termination of the pass in the descent of the road from
Shaitur. The gates consist of sheer walls of rock, 400 feet high and 200
yards apart, the passage being a quarter of a mile long.
The sub-district of Bafq extends from east to west about 60 miles, that
is, from the village Shaitur to Chah-i-Kavir and north and south from Ariz
to Nahu, about 63 miles. The climate is mild in winter and intensely
warm, but salubrious in summer.
