Marush (also Ma'usk) plain and south-east of Sultan Maidan. Its highest
peak attains an elevation of 9,300 feet.— {Schindler.)
KUH-I-HAZAR MASJID—
A mountain situated in the angle formed by the districts of Kuchan,
Darreh Gaz, and Kalat, in northern Khorasan. The crest of this range is
said to abound in fine pastures, with plenty of water. {MacGregor ; Napier.)
A conical hill rises out of the main ridge on the east side but, with this
exception, it is merely a more elevated ridge, than the surrounding moun
tains, sloping gently to the east, but precipitous on the western sides.
On the highest point of the crest, 9,600 feet about sea-level, are cairns
built by pilgrims. An extensive view from the summit, ranging from the
Meshed Valley on the south, across Lain and Darreh Gaz to Trans-Caspia
on the north. On a clear day Askhabad is visible, 50 or 60 mules distant.

Kuh-i-Mish {q.v.) The highest peak in the Kuh-i-Jaghatai-Juvain is the
Kuh-i-Zar, which is 5,000 or 6,000 feet. It is formed for the most part
of trap rocks overlying marls and clays. In its glens are many springs,
which water a succession of small hamlets, with extensive gardens,
