their flocks wander over the country. There are 21 of these nomad tribes.*
The chief river is the Halil Rud, running south by south-east. On its
banks are to be found most of the inhabitants of the district. Cultiva

very liable to floods during the hot weather owing to the melting snows,

seasons of drought it does not possess a perennial flow below Bijnabad,
Like so many Persian rivers, it does not find the outlet to the sea, but dis
appears into the Jaz Murian Hdmufi at its north-west extremity. Along
its banks are jungles of tamarisk, kahur } and fog trees, with reeds and
grass. There is excellent grazing in Rudbar and the quality of the wool
is very good. Wheat and barley are cultivated.
Khanu is the capital of the district, and is almost entirely populated
by men who are the descendants of slaves brought to the place from
Khorasan some four centuries ago. There are over 1,000 families of these
people.
