BURBARUD*—In Armenian Burvari. Mean elevation 7,300'.
A small but fertile district in the Japalaq division of the Burujird prov
ince 60 to 85 miles from Burujird on the road to Isfahan. It is bound
ed on the south by Tamandar Kuh, on the west by the Kuh-i-Gul-i-Bahar,
on the east by the Kuh-i-Sar-i-Sul and the Kuh-i-Sar-i-Lak, and joins the
Pacha-i-Lak plain on the north. Its waters drain partly towards the Ab-i-
Diz, partly towards the Gulpaigan plain. Many of its villages are very
poor and some, principally those belonging to the Government, have been
deserted on account of the rapacity of local officials. About 500 Armenian
families reside in 16 of the Burbarud villages, bravely holding their own
against the almost perpetual attacks of the Chahar-lang Bakhtlarl nomads,
who hold the hilly regions to the west.— (Schindler.) <

A ruined tower in a deep ravine, 106 miles from Tehran on the road
to Meshed. The ravine was formerly the frontier between Traq-i-’Ajam
and Khorasan. The Yul Qupri Bridge (q.v.) is close by and crosses a smaller
ravine running into the first.
BURKlEH—
This is the name given to a small clan of Kurds of 30 or 40 tents who
dwell in the winter at Saru Su, about 1| farsalchs from the village of ’Arab on
the Aras. They form a separate family to the Jalalis or Milan Kurds.
In the summer they migrate to Baba Gavrl in the Kara Aineh (Chaldaran
district), where they spend four or five months of the year. They own
allegiance to the chief of Maku.— (Picot, 1894.)
