Population .—The population of Ears consists of t)ihdti or Deh-Nishin
the settled inhabitants, and of Itiut oi Chadd^Niskin, the nomad inhabit
ants. The former are sometimes supposed to be derived from the aboriginal
race who were in the country before the Aryan invasion ; but they are now
composed of many breeds, Irani, Arab, Turkish and even Circassian blood
being found among them. The latter are also very mixed, being mainly of
Irani, Arab, Turkish and, as is popularly supposed, of B&ctrian extraction.
The last named are BakhtiarL Among the chief tribes may be mentioned
the Mamassani and Qashqai, both of which tribes are described, as far
as information is available, in this gazetteer. The Arab Ilidts are for the
most part wanderers in those parts of Fars which are as yet unexplored
by Europeans. They are nomadic and dangerous in the extreme. Their
summer quarters are in the hills of Bavanat and other places in the country
between Shiraz and Yazd. They have a hereditary chief called the llhhdni
to whom they all owe allegiance ; from Whom they receive the laws which
rule their conduct ; and to whom they pay the revenue imposed upon
them. They contribute a certain number of soldiers to the army of the
Shah.
The Turkish Ilia's, including the Qashqai, once a power in Fars, are
now poor and broken, and too near to the central power in Shiraz to have
much chance of regaining their former status and wealth. They have
an IlJchdni appointed by the Shah. Robbery is the legitimate trade of
