It contains 30 or 40 houses situated on the bank of a small stream of salt
water. Sweet water is procurable from a hauz, 3 or 4 miles distant.
When that supply fails, as it does in the summer, the people drink the
salt water. There is a limited amount of supplies obtainable.— {MacGregor ;
Gill)
HUSAIN IB ID (No. 4)—
A village in the Bashtin sub-division of the Sabzawar district of Khorasan
situated to the south of the road from Mihr to Ribad. Water good from
a kdriz. Supplies procurable.— {Mania Bakhsh.)

38 miles from the former and 33 miles from the latter. It consists of 150
houses containing 500 inhabitants, and possesses 100 cattle and 600
sheep and goats. The annual production of wheat and bailey in ordinary

containing 40 families and ten ploughs of land.
It formerly belonged to Darvish ’AH Khan Timuri, former Governor
of Khaf, who sold it to the chief of Kain about the year 1887. Since
then this village and two others (Qaiian and Mijnabad), which were sold
with it, form a separate sub-district under Kain.— {C. E. Yate.)

A small village of 25 houses on the main caravan route between Meshed
and Herat, situated 34 miles south-east of the former place. It possesses

but owing to the scanty water-supply the production is barley
sufficient to meet the requirements of the actual inhabitants, who are Bar-
barls.— {C. Wanliss, October 1903.)

A village in Eastern Khorasan, about 16 miles east of Shaughan, on
