shewn in the tabulated statement below. To this, it may be added, too
much reliance should not be given, as recent lists received have been so
difficult to reconcile with the obsolete statements of Layard and Rawlmson,
as to make them to be at least of doubtful accuracy. In addition to those
given therein, a note may be hare made of a tribe of a somewhat doubt u
connection and domicile, as to whether belonging to Lunstan or Persian
’Arabistan. This tribe is „ . . ^ n -rz-y,
The ’ Amaleh-i- Karim Khan. —A small isolated clan of Pusht-i-Run
origin, occupying a few walled villages about 6 or 7 miles to the west
of Dizful. They are often raided by the Chigini and others,^but, though
only credited with being able to muster some 80 to 100 sonars they are

The Persian Administration and the CAfe/s.— Reference nas already been
made to the fact that the administration of Pish Kuh, or Lnristan proper
was taken out of the hands oftheVali by Shah’Abbas m the ear y p
of the seventeenth century ; and it has so remained ew since, emg no
directly administered by a Deputy Governor, with residence at Kh’arram-
abad, under the orders of the Governor-General of Kirmanshah and further,
in the detailed notes above on each of the more important tribes the chi
tainship of each has been more or less thoroughly discussed. It remains,
