and goes down the valley of the Sauj Bulagh river. A tributary of the
Little Zab is crossed 7 miles from Bayat on the road east by north east
to Khalasisar, the plain of Little Zab (4,850') being entered 9 miles from
Bayat. It is a magnificent valley, about 6 miles wide and extending 8
or 10 miles to the south, with numerous streams. Thielmann says that
looking from Gugan there extends beyond the Turkish frontier a rugged
mountain district, forming the basin of the sources of the Great Zab, and
inhabited by wild tribes, nominally subject to Turkish rule. The Little
Zab waters the Lahijan district by its two sources. Several miles after
its junction with the great Zab it traverses the mountain range of Zagros
through a deep rent visible from Paschi, and then flows towards the
Tigris. The great volume of water, in a course of 20 miles, is noticeable as
showing the amount of water collected by the mountains.— {Gerard ; Thiel
