On the northern side are six villages—
(1) Sindati, 30 houses.
(2) Hushab, 20 houses.
(3) Kuhkan, 1,000 houses, with a strong fort.
(4) Dashtak (demolished by the Persians in 1902).
(5) Nazarabad (or Kashan), 20 houses.
(6) Chagird, 20 houses (it pays no revenue).
Of the above, Chagird and Kashan belong to the Rekl tribe ; the remain
der mostly to Arbabis.
Kuhkan fort stands on a rocky ridge, 100 feet high, is in good preservation,
and built in two parts, each independent of, and flanking the other.
There are four Hindu baniahs in Shishriz and supplies are procurable in fair
quantities. Fuel and grazing are plentiful in the hills south and south-west
of Shishriz ; and fodder and bhiisd abundant. _ *
The ordinary revenue for the district is 700 tumdns, but the Persians
year by year increase their demands, thereby driving the people up to,
and even beyond, the bounds of open rebellion, so that it is difficult for
them to collect any revenue at all, except by force of arms. At Maskatu,
near Jalk, there is a Customs frontier post under Sistan.
