They number in all 400 families, and are capable of putting 600 fighting
men into the field, 400 of whom are armed with rifles. Of these rifles a largo
percentage are Martinis, while the remainder are 5-shot rifles of German
make, and a few British ’303. The latter are very highly prized and much
sought after, not only by this particular sub-tribe, but by the Kuhgalus in
general. In former times the Dushman Ziari used to number as many as
1,000 families, but, owing to the oppression of their chiefs, they have scat
tered, some to the Bakhtiaris and some to the Arabs in the Zaidan district.
They inhabit the country between Behbehan, Kazarun, Ardakan and Shu-
listan, and Kaleh Safid to Basht. This description gives wide limits and the
following boundaries (Ranking) may be more exact Kaleh-i-Rak, Deh
Chul, Kuh-i-Shirin, Badum, Samarhum, Kaleh-i-Gul-i-Parish Kaft. Their
winter quarters are Kalat, Kaleh-i-Rak-i-Mehdi Khan, Dasht-i-Mazadak; and
summer quarters Chehar Rah, Chiftu, Kallal, Kuh-i-Min, Sar Kuhak, Kuh-
i-Surb, Gil ^Safid, Benar-i-Gurgir, Tang-i-Shikari, Dalun, ’Savakar.
The following forts are in their territories Kaleh-i-Kalat, inhabited by
Surab Khan, and Kaleh-i-Rak inhabited by Mehdi Quli Khan.
The Dushman Ziari are on friendly terms with the Taiyibi (Sarhadi) and
Buir Ahmadi, but on bad terms with the Bakhtiari. For Resources, Admi
nistration, etc., see Kuhgalu. — (Bunking, 1910.)
