Isma’il Khan is at present (1898) the chief of all the Sunni Hazaras m
Khorasan and is about 52 years of age. He was made an Amir Tiiman
^Major-General) and granted the title of Shuja’-ul-Mulk by the late Nasir-
fid-DIn Shah in 1894. t
In 1896 he was again appointed Governor of Bakharz, which appointment
he still (1898) holds.
He lives at Meshed himself, and his brother Sartip Muhammad Raza
Khan is Deputy Governor of Bakharz on his behalf.
The Shuja’-ul-Mulk has a son named’Abdul Faiz Khan, aged 22 years.

CHEHARBAGH.— Elev. 7,100'.
A gipsy encampment, consisting of a tower and some enclosures, m the
Astarabad district, between Chehar Deh and Ziarat, on the road to Astar-
abad from Mazandaran.
It is situated in a valley of the same name, hemmed in by the Lari and
Lindi mountains to the north and by the Shah Kuh range to the south.
The valley is reached by crossing the Quzluq Kutal at the head of the
valley (north-west), and then descending from 7,600 feet, the level of the
water parting, to 7,100 in the neighbourhood of Cheharbagh.
The scenery changes as if by magic, and is very different from that of
the Caspian provinces. The valley presents a dull, uniform, yellow ochre
tint, mitigated by a sparse sprinkling of funeral-looking yews and hum
mocks of heather and thistles. There is good water here and pasturage.
Fuel is scarce and no grain is obtainable.—(Love# > Napier).

CHEHAR BURJ (No. 2)—
A village containing 40 families of Diranlu (Shadillu) Kurds in the
Isfarain district of Khorasan. on the road from Mianabad to Sankhas,
7 miles from Fariman and 19 miles from Sankhas. From the nature of
the soil and the broken pottery about, it appears that it must have been
a large place in former days.— (C. E. Yate.)
CHEHAR DEH (No. 1)— Elev 2,000'.—(Vaughan.)
A small village in Khorasan, 10 miles from Tabas, on the road to Khur.
Vaughan says : 17 miles west of Tabas on the western confines of the
