CHEHARD—CHEHARZ
121
CHEHAR DARREH— Elev. 7,200' to 7,300'.
A small hilly district about 18 miles south of Daulatabad Malayar on
the road to Burujird.— (Schindler.)
CHEHAR DAULI—
A tribe, which inhabits the valley of the Jaghatu in Azarbaijan, round
Muhamadjik and Sain Kaleh. They are a nomad tribe, originally from
Luristan, and were removed to Azarbaij an and settled in this district, which
was formerly inhabited by Afghans— (Rawlinson.)
Most of the Chahardaulis now reside in the Isfandabad buluk of Kurdis
tan.— (Schindler.)
CHEHAR SANG—
A village 11 miles from Isfahan, on the road to Burujird.— (Schindler.)
CHEHAR-ZABAR (1)—Village.
A village between Mahidasht and Harunabad, in the Province of Kir-
manshah about 1 mile to the left of the road, going towards the town of
that name.
A range of hills in the neighbourhood is called by the same name, and
a rapid torrent, called Chashmeh-i-Cheharzabar, descends from them,
turning many water-mills above the village.— (Jones.)
CHEHAR-ZABAR (2)—Pass. [Same as GARDANEH CHAH-I-ZUYAR (q.v.) \
A pass in the province of Kirmanshah, over the Kaleh KazI range be
tween the pla’n of Mahidasht and the valley of Karind. The ascent from
the MalTdasht side commences about 4 miles from the Khan (or sarai) of Mahi
dasht and continues for 3 miles, the road being very rough and somewhat
tortuous. There is then the plain of Zobaidah to be crossed for some 3
miles, then another ascent to the NaT-Shikan pass over a very difficult
ridge of sheet rock and broken stones, ill-adapted for the passage of
laden mules and indeed from its steepness affording but a precarious
footing even to the unhampered beasts. The Chehar-Zabar and Na'l-
Shikan passes may be pronounced almost insurmountable for artillery
in their present state. Muhammad 5 Ali Mirza, prince of Kirmanshah,
fortified these passes and defeated the Turkish army here on its invading
Kirmanshah territory. It forms an admirable position for defence. -
(Jones.)
CHEHAR-ZABAR (3)—District.
A small district between Mahidasht and Harunabad, composed of 9
villages, Kashambeh, Deh Safid (or Deh Charml), Mulla Zaman, Bangan ab
Chega Nakdafi (or Chlah Nakdah), Chega Kabud (or Chlah Kao), Chegx
Nargis (or Chiahglisseh) and Rub. These are watered by the Sarah-v
Chehar-Zabar. There is a branch of the Kalhur tribe called the Chehar-
zabari.— (Rabino, 1907.)
CHEHAR ZABAR (4) or CHARZABAR— Elev. 5,000/
The name of two villages in Kirmanshah, about 24 miles south-west by
south of that city, and on the southern border of the Mahidasht plain. Chehar-
zaoar Plain contains between 20 and 30 houses inhabited by Kalhur Kurds
