These two kinds of Myrobalans are largely imported to be 

 employed as a drug, and are exported in quantity to Turkis- 

 tan ; in the bazaars I usually met with both species mixed 

 together. 



Testudo horsfieldii, Grey. 



The Tortoise, hashaf, kashif, IdJc-pusht, Idch-pusht, sang- 

 pusht, sang-totl, shamshdtu, tosh-hake. This species was very 

 common from the Heimand to the Hari-rud, and in the 

 country to the east of the Hari-rud ; I do not think that I 

 met with a single specimen, or even the remains of 

 one, in Khorasan.

This herb was very strongly scented of Asafoetida.

 dol, as in hhdr-dol-Midna, [the abode of the 

 porcupine], the name of a locality ; shortened to 

 dol, the name for Prunus brahuicus and 

 Prunus eburnea, both of which are noted for 

 their numerous spines. Slkh-aol for slkh-dol, 

 [the bearer of skewers], a porcupine.
