Opposite stands Kara-tepe, at a considerable distance from is the road, which winds through more irregular country !' between green, grey, red, and purple mountains, desolate, !) rounded, and bare. The Tatar on the box drives headlong lit down the hills and takes not the slightest notice of violent ki, jolts at the bottom of the ravines. With an expression of

self-satisfaction and importance my young driver sits and

Tsirtsir is a lonely village in this desert country, where

cultivated land and wood are great rarities. A flock of sheep is seen only a few times among the hills.

We cross a ravine by a bridge of four arches, and then the road runs broad and good beside the telegraph poles ; to the south-west rises a snowy crest, on the northern shore of the Urmia lake, and in front of us Marand shows
