The lands here are " khorlasey, " i.e.,
the property of the Shah ; when the lands are owned by the villagers they are called " mbabi."
To the south of the village lies the Mahal-i-Aushtargiin. There is a well of remarkably
cold water in the yard ofthe house of the katkhnda or safid-rish of the village. Much
rice is grown in the vicinity, and it produces fine apples, plums, &c.
Small trees are plentiful about the villages. The plain in which the village stands, from
7 to 8 miles broad (north to south), was a garden in the time of Shah Abbas ; the ruined
walls of its enclosures are still apparent. Within the garden was a menagerie ; hence the
name of the village {garden of wild beasts).
There is a small village 1| miles to the west of Bagh-i-Wahsh ; the plain is poorly
