CHUSISTAN, 1. 14, add— Chufiftan, or Kuziftan, the 

 ancient Sufiana, is now divided between the territories of 

 the Chab Sheikh, and thofe that form the government of 

 Shufter. The former extend from the banks of the Tab 

 to the conflux of the Karoon and Abzal, and from the (hore 

 of the Perfian gulf to a range of hills \^ hich ikirt the valley 

 of Ram Hormuz to the fouth. This country, thougli 

 watered by the Karoon and the rivers Zab and Jerahi, does 

 not abound, as fome travellers have afferted, in grain, rice, 

 and dates ; the greateft part of it confifting in vaft fandy 

 plains and morafles, wholly deftitute of cultivation. The 

 moft fertile parts are thofe in the environs of Dorak, the 

 capital, and on the borders of the Hafar and Shat-ul-Arab, 

 which produce dates and rice, and fcanty portions of wheat 

 and barley. The northern and weftern parts of the country 

 afford tolerable pafturage, and here the wandering tribes 

 pitch their tents. The principal towns are, Dorak, Ahwaz, 

 Endian, Maihoor, Goban, and Jerahi. Dorak, or more 

 properly Felahi, is fituated in low marftiy ground, on the 

 banks of two of the branches of the Jerahi. The walls 

 of mud are two miles in circumference, fixteen feet thick, 

 and flanked with round towers. The majority of the inha- 

 bitants, amounting to about 8000, prefer hving in the fub- 

 urbs, under the ftiade of the date-trees. Dorak is the refi- 

 dence of the Sheikh, who has in it a miferable palace. Its 

 manufafture is the abba, or Arabian cloak, which is ex- 

 ported in great numbers all over Perfia and Arabia. Ah- 

 waz, or Ahouas, formerly a flouriftiing city, and capital of 

 a province of the fame name, is reduced to a wretched town, 

 containing 600 or 700 inhabitants, fituated on the banks of 

 the Karoon, 48 miles S. of Shufter. Endian lies in N. lat. 

 30° 18', 20 miles from Zeitoon, and 72 from Dorak, occu- 

 pying both banks of the Tab, and nearly two miles in cir- 

 cuit. This town trades with BaflTora and Behaban, and has 

 a population of between 4000 and 5000 fouls. Mafiioor 

 lies half way between Endian and Dorak, in the defart, and 

 two miles from the fea, containing about 700 perfons, trading 

 with Baflbra and the Arabian coaft. The revenues of the 

 Chab Sheikh amount to five lacs of piaftres, or about 

 50,000/. fterling, and he can bring into the field 5000 horfe 

 and 20,000 foot. The territories attached to the govern- 

 ment of Shufter conftitute the fineft portion of Sufiaiia.
