Administration .—The government of the district is entrusted to the ruling
chief of the Sharafbainl tribe. When the Persian Government existed
the district was a sub-section of Zuhab, itself a sub-province of Kirman-
shah.
Communications .—The Sharafbaim country is far enough north to have
lost touch with Qasr-i-Shmn in commercial matters, and to look to the better
supplied markets of Sulaimanieh and Halabja for its necessities. Moreover
'the frontier here being unprotected by the Turks and Persians, goods pass
without any customs’ fees. Consequently the roads leading from Hurin
north are the most used, though the most difficult. There are recognized
routes to the south, which, leading from various parts of the Sharafbainl
country, all meet at Chia Surkh and there follow the Chia Surkh road to
Qasr-i-Shirin. Routes from the west to the east are only passable for lightly
laden beasts or persons on foot, except for the road through Darvand-i-Hul
at the extreme south of the country, which, however, is very rough and bad
