ITINERARY FROM KOOM TO SULTANIEH.[138]

Miles.	Fur.	Hours.		Houses.	Tomauns.	Kherwars.
26	6	6	Mudjd-abad	40	50	40
				In going from Koom, the Teheran road is left, which goes more to the eastward. At three fursungs from Koom the celebrated enchanted hill, called “Gedden gelmez,” i. e. who goes and never returns, is passed. Near Mudjd-abad, crossed a small river running east.
36	9	8	Daung	A small village
				At two fursungs from Mudjd-abad, pass a fort called Turragnareen, and some streams of water, and on the right a village. Sauva, a considerable town, is five fursungs from Mudjd-abad: two or three miles on the left, near Daung, saw a distant range of mountains to the N. covered with snow.
45	12	10	Sakisabad	150	150	300
				Six fursungs from Daung, passed a round caravanserai called Jeeb. It is situated at the entrance of hills, on leaving the plain of Daung. After passing the hills, descended into the large plain, in which Casvin is said to be situated; here are a number of small villages. Wind fresh from the N.W. which is called, Baad Gagazgoon, from a place of that name, from which quarter it blows.[139]
26	7	5	Bostanuk	150	150	200
				Bostanuk is in a very extensive plain, with many villages and cultivation. The people talk Turkish.
8	8	6	Khorremderéh	400	300	400
				More villages and more cultivation than before. Through the ravine, in which this village is situated, runs a small river.

ITINERARY FROM SULTANIEH TO BAGDAD, FROM DR. JUKES’S JOURNAL.

Miles.	Fur.	Hours.		Houses.	Tomauns.	Kherwars.
			Sultaniéh.
8	2½	2	Kooshabad	-	-	-
				Marching west from Sultaniéh, passed through mountains.
8	2½	2½	Beejaeen	300	150	150
				The road led across a plain; passed a considerable village on the plain. There is a running stream near Beejaeen.
11	3½	3	Jereen	150	60	40
				More villages.
18	5½	5	Arpadurrasi	250	150	100
				Crossed the bed of a river, after leaving Jereen. At two fursungs passed some defiles; and continued on an ascent all the rest of the march. Soon after Jereen, we came into the country of the Karaguzloos.
16	4½	4	Surla	300	200	200
				First part of the road was on a plain; on the right hand were two or three villages. During the latter part of to-day’s march, saw the famous mountain of Alwund.
24	6½	5½	Hubbadraheng	2000	600	500
				Passed through the village Dumma. Many villages besides.
7	2	2	Veean	150	100	100
				The country about here looks prosperous.
20	6	5	Joureekan	Large Village
				The country cultivated, and villages. From the summit of a hill, had a view of the fertile plain of Hamadan.
3¼	1	1	Hamadan	-	-	-
				Shevereen is a village three miles from Hamadan. Hamadan, situated at the foot of the east side of the mountain of Alwund. Many streams fall from Alwund into the plain. Alwund appears at a distance to be one long range of mountains. I am assured the length of Alwund Proper is not more than three fursungs in length; and is distinct from the northern range. Through the interval between these two ranges, leads the road to Kermanshah.
12	3	3	Zagha	400	300	200
				Many villages all around.
12	3	3	Asadabad	600	500	400
				One fursung from Zagha came to a pass in the mountain. Many streams from the hills. There is a village one mile within the pass: and near to it, is a caravanserai, which is the boundary of the district of the Karaguzloos. Our march then continued for three miles through the hills, and then opened the following view: plain of Hamadan to the Eastward; to the Westward the plain of Asadabad, surrounded by the mountains and the village of Asadabad, considerably beneath us; to the Northward, the distant mountains of the Courdistan; and to the Southward those of Looristan. From here to the plain, the descent was four miles.
24	6	6	Kungavar	1000	800	500
				This village is situated on the north side of its plain.
18	4½	4½	Sahna	400	300	300
				Passed by one or two villages: springs of water on the side of the mountain. Plain well watered. Near to the village of Sahna, we crossed two other considerable streams which seemed to descend from the hills that form the N. side of the plain.
16	4	4	Beesitoon	-	-	-
				From Sahna two or three miles, our road led up the plain; then it took a more southerly course. The streams of yesterday uniting, form a considerable river, and we kept by the banks of it all day. Near to the famous mountain of Besitoon, we crossed a bridge, over a river, that takes its rise in the N. W. mountains on our right, and joined the river before mentioned. The river that runs down this valley is called the Chum-chumal, from a village of the same name. Here are characters sculptured like the Persepolitan.
15	3½	4	Hissar Sefeed	-	-	-
				Road over an uncultivated plain; to the left a small running stream. The river of yesterday seemed to take a more S. direction among the mountains; and we lost it after leaving the valley of Busitoon. We saw Kermanshah, and encamped six miles from the town.
-	-	-	Kermanshah	-	-	-
				One hour and a half after leaving our encampment, crossed a good bridge of seven arches, over the river which was running to the south, and said to join those that run down the valley Kusistoon, to form the Shooster river. The Tauk-e-Roustan is in the north range of mountains about seven miles from Kermanshah. The river in the plain to the N. of the town runs south, and joining with that from Sahna and Besitoon, adds its stream to the large Shooster river. They call this river Kara Sou: it is said to take its rise in the mountain of Kourdistan, forty miles to the northward of Kermanshah.
14	3	3	Maheedasht	20	-	-
				Seven miles from Kermanshah descended into the plain of Maheedasht.
20	5	5	Haroonabad	100	60	5
				Plain of Haroonabad; is well watered. Crossed a bridge soon after quitting the village. The bed of the river large.
18	5	5	Kerrund	300	200	200
				The mountains at Kerrund contract, and leave an open space at the distance of seven miles further on; through which the road descends into the Turkish territory.
30	8	7	Pool-e-Zohaub	-	-	-
				Seven miles from Kerrund is the pass that separates Persia from Turkey.—Zohaub is a large town, not far distant from the bridge called Pool-e-Zohaub, where we encamped.
20	4	5	Kasr-e-Shereen	Small Place.	-	Piastres.3000
				The Alwund, which takes its rise in the mountains of Kerrund, runs near Kasr-e-Shereen.
18	5	-	Khanakee	2000	-	8000
				Built on the banks of the Alwund: here is a good bridge.
18	5	-	Kizzil Robat	1500	-	-
				And the revenues rented for twelve thousand five hundred and six piastres.
17	5	-	Shahrevan	1000	-	20,000
30	8	-	Bakoobah	-	-	-
