road. Carefully walled fruit gardens, on the hillsides, which
here close in form a distinctive feature of the place. At about
24 miles 2 furlongs the road crosses a streamlet, over which a
mill is built, and bifurcates, the E. branch leading to the lower
part of the village, the W. to the rising ground. Hinijan or
Hinjan is a remarkably flouMshing village. About 250 families ;
57 head of cattle ; 4 or 5 mills.
Camping-ground.—SV* and S. of a newly constructed mud
enclosure at the N. end of the village, uneven and stony. No
available camping-ground near river owing to much cultivation.

with the Isfarjan river, here a rapid streamlet 5 to 6 yards broad,
in a N.-W. direction down a ravine which in places is so
narrow as just to leave room for the river and a narrow track,
in others widens out into patches of cultivated land and little
orchards. On the E. run the Kuh-i-Palang, on the W., tit j
Kuh-i-Vasm. At 1 mile 4 furlongs the stream is crossed W. to
E. by a rough stone-bridge and recrossed a mile lower down by
a bridge of stone and wood. Shortly after two mills (one ruin
are passed on the W. side of the road between it and the river c
At 3 miles 6 furlongs remains of a band are visible on both sides
of the stream. A little beyond this point the ravine begins to
open out and the village of Isfarjan, said to contain 600 families,
embedded in orchards and gardens, is traversed, the main por
tion of the village being on the E. of the road. From Isfarjan
a track leads to D .ulatabad and Yazd-i-Khast (Route No. L
stage* 21). From Isfarjan Qumisheh may be reached by two
routes, viz., Targban and Taluidiun or oy Sular and Mehiar. The
latter was followed. Debouching on an extensive pair,
here some 12 to 15 miles broad, encircled by ranges of hihb, the
road, a broad level track, open to all arms, strikes almost
due N. and traverses this plain diagonally descending, about
1,150 feet in the course of 17 miles to Sular. Tins part of the
roa I is suitable in its present condition for motor traffic. Shortly
after leaving Isfarjan a track strikes oil W. of the river of tnat
name to Yahiabad and Kuril (native information;, then sweeps
