Kirmanshah direction, a series of high, parallel ranges, running north-west
and south-east, are met with. The rock is hard, grey limestone, the strata
well marked and occasionally standing out perfectly vertical. Although
stony, the soil is rich, with some fine trees, tSO to 50 feet high and 3 to 4
feet in diameter, usually in the most inaccessible places. Most have been
used for firewood. The principal trees are bal'd oaks, pistachio, hawthorn,
and numerous shrubs and undergrowth. In spring time the grass is rich
and very abundant. The passage of the Vardiilan range is difficult, but
passable for mules and carefully-led horses. Near Chardavar, the valley
on the Deh Bala side into which the track emerges, the southern slope
is an almost perpendicular sheet of rock extending for a considerable
distance. The ridges are very stenp with razor-edge summits, and the road
might be aptly compared to the track of an ant crawling along the teeth
of a large saw.— (Maunsell, 18S8.)
