more continued along the shore. The scene here^
too, was changed ; instead of foam and breakers,
the sea was calm as a mill-pond, and, save the
occasional splash of some huge sturgeon gambol
ling on the surface, not a ripple disturbed its
tianquil bosom, which appeared like a vast sheet
of glass. About 2 miles from the village, cross
ed the river Izarud, where there is a fishery of
the azadmahi, ami soon afterwards came to the
banks of the Neshbarud. Thence the road goes
to Abbasabad, about 7 miles from Zuvar, arriv

another nameless stream.

the banks of this stream, is situated a large
village called Kalentes. Some way farther on
crossed, the river Aliabad, and during march
passed over seven smaller rivulets, besides those
named. Turned from the seashore to the village

About this item
- Content
The volume is a Government of India official publication entitled Routes in Persia. Section III. Compiled in the Intelligence Branch of the Quarter Master General's Department in India (Simla: printed at the Government Central Printing Office, 1898).
The volume contains details of all land routes (numbered 1-247) in Persia starting from Russian territory and extending south as far as a line drawn from Karmanshah [Kermānshāh] south-eastwards through Burujird [Borūjerd], Isfahan [Eşfahān] and Yazd to Karman [Kermān], and thence north-east to Khabis [Khabīş] and Neh to Lash Juwain [Lāsh-e Juwayn].
The information given for each route comprises:
- number of route;
- place names forming starting point and destination of route;
- authority and date;
- number of stage;
- names of stages;
- distance in miles (intermediate and total);
- remarks (including precise details of the route, general geographical information, and information on smaller settlements, local peoples, agriculture, condition of roads, access to water, supplies of wood, and other routes).
An appendix within the volume (folios 356-359) and two separately-stored sets of loose sheets (containing routes numbers 77 (a) and 140-A, folios 363-369) give information too late for incorporation in the body of the work.
