Mishmast .—The Mishmasts are an indigenous tribe, but live
almost entirely in tents on the Arsinjan plain round Arsinjan
itself. Certain sections of the tribe occasionally take up their
quarters on the Saadatabai and Saidun plains, more especially
in winter. Two villages within 5 miles of Arsinjan, Fijan and
Panlran, are reported to be their headquarters.
They, like the LashanI, are great robbers by nature, and
formerly used to join the Lashanis in their expeditions. They
are also on good terras with the Cheharrahi, Tutaki (robber
tribes in the Bavanat district), and Feraghehl (an offshoot of the
Bakhtiarl), living in the Abrkuh district. They have however
not been to the fore in raiding expeditions since the Lashanis
were punished.
