, f" sma11 town 111 . Yazd some 30 miles from the town of Yazd; it boasts
a hne caravansarai with an excellent covered tank, but the chaotic
condition of its city wall can only be compared to that of Kujan. Now-a-
days it is famous for the manufacture of gilim, a very durable hand-woven
cotton carpet, the usual colours being red and blue. The district of Maibud
is dependent on Yazd and with its- adjacent villages has a look of great
prosperity ; there appear to be 17 villages and 8 hamlets, besides the towns
o Ardakan and Maibud. The revenues amount to about £3,000. Snow
does not remain long in this part of the plain, but in winter a dry cold of
considerable intensity is experienced. In so arid a country the heat of
miner must be oppressive. Has a post house and a conspicuous ice-house :
also a spring of pure water. ’
