JURAB—
A large village 5| miles from Daulatabad Malayar on the road thence to
Burujird. It is an old place, being mentioned by the Arab geographers
as Jurab and Gurab. There are some ruins on a mound, remains of the old
fort._ It lies on a river which coming from the hills to the east flows into
the Ab-i-Kulan, a couple of miles west of Jurab. Some call this river the
Gamasiab, which is more correctly the name of the river north-west of
Nahavand, up to there it is generally called Ab-i-Kulan (q.v.)—(Schindler.)
JUSHAK—
A village, 27 miles from Kashan on the road to Sultanabad.—

JUSHQAN—(Province).
This little province which covers about 1,000 square miles, is situate d
north-west of Isfahan, between the Isfahan territory on the south and
west, Mahallat on the north, Kashan and Natanz on the east. Its length
is about 48 miles from the southern frontier of Mahallat to the Kuh-i-
Kulung, 18 miles from Murchehkur; its breadth is about 20 miles from the
high central range to the hills running parallel to it on the west; only a
very small portion of this territory, possibly ten square miles, is under
cultivation ; the rest is steppe desert or barren hills. The water-supply is
very scanty. The average elevation is about 6,400 feet ; some of the
villages in the hills are at an elevation of 8,000 feet, or more. The heat
in summer is excessive. Total population of the province is a little ovei
5,000 souls.— (Schindler.)
