road to Sanichi comes up this valley, and then, keeping under the
hills to the N.-E., joins the Yazd road at about 14} miles. A
little further on an db-ambctr is passed on the right of the road.
Some half a mile beyond this the road bifurcates, the right
branch dropping into a deep water-course which runs from the
valley on the right, the left hand branch keeping to the left
of the water for over one and three-quarters miles, and
then crossing it and rejoining the right-hand one. There is little
to choose between the two roads, the descent in both cases being
bad, though practicable for artillery and wheeled traffic. From '
the junction, the road runs on the N.-E. side of the valley under
the hills to Farasheh at 18} miles. The latter is a mean little
village with plentiful water and cultivation. It consists of 150
mud houses; 640 inhabitants; and 100 goats. There are two
mills which can grind 180 maunds of flour in the 24 hours.
Rations would be procurable for an infantry regiment with trans
port. Water good, perennial, and abundant from a Tcarez. Con
tinuing from Farasheh, the road runs at first through gardens,
and then crosses a dry nil a bed, with great crags on the right
to the Mazra 9 Swab, which is watered by an irrigation channel on
the left of the road, containing an abundant supply of good
perennial water. From here the road enters a narrow defile,
at the far end of which commences the cultivation of Taft,
a long straggling village on either side of a dry river bed ; the
road is passable for wheeled vehicles throughout. It runs
down the valley, some five miles broad at ’Aliibhd, which
gradually narrows until the defile is reached, passing through
which the mountains recede again. Taft is a large village with
a winter population of 800 and a summer population of from
4,000 to. 5,000. There are 5,000 goats ; 300 cows ; and 300
donkeys. There are 9 mills and 4 caravanserais.
