One fursung from Zagha came to a pass in 
the mountain. Many streams from the 
hills. There is a village one mile within 
the pass: and near to it, is a caravan¬ 
serai, which is the boundary of the dis¬ 
trict of the Karaguzloos. Our march 
then continued for three miles through 
the hills, and then opened the following 
view: plain of Hamadan to the Eastward j 
to the Westward the plain of Asadabad, 
surrounded by the mountains and the 
village of Asadabad, considerably beneath 
us; to the Northward, the distant moun¬ 
tains of the Courdistan; and to the South¬ 
ward those of Looristan. From here to. 
the plain, the descent was four miles.

Passed by one or two villages: springs of 
water on the side of the mountain. Plain 
well watered. Near to the village of 
Sahna, we crossed two other considerable 
streams which seemed to descend from 
the hills that form the N. side of the 
plain.

From Sahna two or three miles, our road 
led up the plain; then it took a more 
southerly course. The streams of yester¬ 
day uniting, form a considerable liver, 
and we kept by the banks of it all day. 
Near to the famous mountain of Besitoon, 
we crossed a bridge, over a river, that 
takes its rise in the N. W. mountains on 
our right, and joined the river before 
mentioned. The river that runs down 
this valley is called the Chum-chumal, 
from a village of the same name. Here 
are characters sculptured like the Perse- 
politan.
