200 sheep and goats and 20 horses. The normal annual production of
wheat and barley amounts to 2,400 and 1,600 Indians maunds, respec
tively.—(Oran<#%, 1894.)
StM-GARMA KHAN—
The largest tributary of the Atrak, or rather the name by which that
river is known in its upper course. It drains the plateaux lying north
and east of Kuchan, the western slopes of the Kalat chain, the Kuchan
plain, and the mountains bounding it on the south, an area of about
2,000 square miles forming the upper part of the drainage basin. Pass
ing south of Kuchan, it receives the waters of a large spring, known as the
Kara Qazan, the reputed source of the Atrak,—also a small stream
from the north of Shirvan. At 45 to 50 miles from Kaleh Yusuf Khan,
the point at which it enters the Kuchan plain, it disappears in a narrow
gorge, known as the Tang-i-Riza-abad, and continues to flow thence be
tween high mountains west-north-west and west for about 40 miles to
Maneha, large village 20 miles north-west from Bujnnrd by road, rece
iving a small stream from the mountains forming the watershed, 15 to 20
miles distant to the south, and from the north the drainage of the Kush-
kaneh plateau, 30 to 40 miles north-east.
From Maneh, about 80 miles to the Chat-i-Atrak, the point of junc
tion of the Chandir stream from the north, the Garma Khan or Atrak
flows through a country of low hills and plateaux seamed with ravines. The
spur or ridge of the Atak chain, bounding it to the north, rises high, and
is difficult to cross : that to the south is easy.— (Napier.)
SUl JAM—
A tract in Khorasan, east of the Tun range. Its drainage goes into the
Kashaf Rud.— (MacGregor.)
■ SUJAKUH—
A range of great, snow-clad mountains bounding the plain of Bivazhan
in Khorasan on the south. The Isflan range, running north-west and
south-east to the north-west of Dasht-i-Piaz, rises into a high mountain.
At its base are the villages of Muneh Vaz and Bashqabad.— (Bellew.)

SUKHOR-I-BURZABAD—
The entrance of the mountain range called Kuh-i-LaqI and Kuh-i-Siah
on the left and right respectively of the road from Kakh to Bijistan.—
