BUJNURD (No. 1) (District)—
The Chiefship of Bujnurd now consists of the following districts'
Bujnurd, Incha, Simalqan, Maneh, Jajarm, and Isfafain. Gurgan, inhabit
ed by Guklan Turkomans, has recently been transferred to the Governor
ship of Astirabad, owing to the Bujnurd Chief having been unable to
enforce his authority over them. The present arrangement has not, hotv-
ever, proved any more successful, as the Guklans are now ydghi (inde
pendent), and pay no revenue at all. Their independent attitude has been
rendered possible by the fact that th y are now on friendly terms
with their neighbours, Ysttmts.
The districts of Bam Safiabad and Juvain were formerly under the
rp , . , , , Chief of Bujnurd, but they have been severed
from the chietsmp and placed under separate
