We soon after came to the little villiige of Sheikh
Weisi in the district of Shuan, and here we found
we had come a little out of our way, and we turned
S. 45 W. in order to regain our right road.
We observed great quantities of oleander growing
by the sides of the little streams. We reached
our true road at a quarter to nine. The country
round us had a most strange appearance, and looked
as if it had been ruled off into parallel oblique lines
by layers of crumbling sandstone just rising above
the soil.
At half past ten we came to the large village of
Ghezalan, where we saw some Jews. The people of
this part of the country seem to be Tcheragh Sonde-
rans, or light-extinguishers*. Soon after leaving
this village, the level began to rise again, and our
road was very broken and hilly. We arrived at our
resting-place for the day at the village of Ghulum-
kowa, in the district of Shuan, at ten minutes past
twelve ; having been five hours and forty minutes on
our march, and having had a very unpleasant day's
journey over very troublesome roads, and through a
hideous country. The Kerkook hills appeared from
hence like a flat plateau, descending by a step
broken and furrowed, into the tract of country be
tween them and Derbend,
Thermometer—6 a.m . 62°; 2 p.m . 84 3 ; 10 p.m . 64°.
