A town in Azarbaijan, south of Urumleh. It is prettily situated on the
rise of the mountains at the north-west extremity of a plain of the same
name, surrounded by a large extent of orchard land, and has only about
200 families, besides which there are 300 Mikri, 100 Bilbas and 100 other
Kurdish refugees in the vicinity. It is a dependency of Urumieh, and
formerly had, according to Eawlinson, YOOO houses in the town alone.
The plain is situated at the foot of the great Kurdistan mountains, and
surrounded on either side by an amphitheatre of lower hills, it occupies
a natural basin of small extent, but of great beauty and fertility. The
river Gadar debouching from the mountains, by a deep and precipitous
gorge, bisects the plain ; and numerous other streams, which descend from
the same hills, supply the means of irrigation most abundantly through
out the district. The plain is irregularly shaped, its extreme length and
breadth being about 10 miles, and contains the little town of Ushna and
about forty other villages dispersed over the adjacent country. The
