MlANDUAB (1)—
A district of Azarbaljan, which comprises all the country between the
two rivers Jaghatu and Tatau, and west as far as Lake Urumieh.
The soil of th ; s district is throughout extremely rich at the upper end
of the plain, where many streams descend from the mountains to the north
and east, and the higher level of the beds of the two great rivers affords
facilities for irrigation. Cultivation is abundant, but as the plain slopes
down gradually to the shores of the lake, the Jaghatu and Tatau wear
themselves into deeper channels, the difficulty of raising the water
into artificial ducts is increased, and the greater part of the land is allowed
to run waste, serving at best for the winter pasturage of the flocks belong
ing to the Makadam Mikarl nomads.—(isWZmsfm.)
