ever, eventually captured and taken to Tehran, and subsequently died.
This put an end to the chief ship.
The government of the district is now administered by a nominee of the
Governor-General of Khorasan ; but it may be deemed by position and
connection an appanage of the Sabzawar government or district.— (Napier;
C. E. Yate; Mania BaJchsh.)
JAGHATAI (No. 2) (Mountain)—
A range of hills in Khorasan, contiguous to the east with the Pusht-i-
Kuh, separating the district of Sabzawar from that of Juvain. The
surface of this range is quite bare of vegetation and covered with
thick-set smooth, black pebbles and it gradually slopes down to the great
central Persian desert.—(Bellew.)

A large village in the Jaghatai mountains in Khorasan. It is about 600
by 400 yards in size, and surrounded by a high wall, with substantial flank
ing towers. Having very little irrigated cornland, the population was
nearly destroyed by the famine of 1870-72, and only 100 houses were left
inhabited. There is an ample supply of drinkable water ; and since the
famine years there have been excellent crops of grain. There is a good
camping-ground here.
The village is the seat of the local Governor and principal place of the
Juvain district. It is situated on the northern slopes of the Jaghatai
mountains immediately overlooking the Juvain valley to its north,
about 14 miles from Kumisdan, and 7 miles from Dasturan or Dishkijan.
It contains about 600 houses of Persians and Qilichi Turks at present.
There ar a good bazar and several mosques and public baths.
On a hillock to the south of the village stand the ruins of an old mud fort
called Karsi, some 50 yards square, and also an imdmzddeh containing a
tombstone to the memory of ’All Khan, Qarat, son of the late Muhammad
Beg Qarat, dated 1269 (A. D. 1852). Qarat is said to be a section of the
Garilis. The name Garili or Gari (‘ li ’ simply meaning “ descendants
of ”) is probably only another form of Qarai, or Qaralt, who, according to
* Tarikh-i-Rashidi, page 16, Mr. Elias, * were a tribe of Turks, who called
note. themselves Mongols when the latter were
ruling.
A large number of gardens are situated in the Jaghatai ndld above
the village and extend for about a mile. Water good. Supplies plenti
ful.— (Napier ; Schindler ; C. E. Yate.)
