MUNEH (4)— Lat. 37° 25' 8"; Long. 47° 50'. Elev. ^,330 / .
A large village, chief place in the Garmeh Rud district of AzarbaTjac,
67f miles from Zinjan, on the road thence to Tabriz, population fully 7,000.
There is a telegraph station here of the Indo-European line and a Per
sian Government office. It is unhealthily situated and infested with
poisonous bugs. The effects of the bite of the poisonous bug of Mianeh
(which by-the-bye is very common in many other places in Northern Persia)
have been much exaggerated. I know several Europeans who have been
bitten, and I have been bitten myself. We suffered from remittent fever
in consequence, and the bitten parts ulcerated and healed up in a couple
of weeks or so. This fever in my case lasted a couple of months.— (Schind
ler.)
The bug, or tick, is the Argas Persicus and locally known as Kaneh Shab-
gaz. — (Schindler, 1910.)

A village 16 miles west of Tehran on the Tabriz road via Kazvin. There
are a number of canals from the Karaj river here.
It had a post-house, chaparkhaneh, till 1880 ; the new road which runs
a short distance to the north of it was then opened and the post-house
was closed and removed to Shahabad. (g. v.) — (Schindler.)
