A DESERT LAKE 87
the day's journey, and the nearer we approach the more distinct its palms appear. We come to the outermost fields, march in under the palm trees, and pass a little burch or stronghold with towers and surrounded by huts. Some palms are effectively reflected in a small pool, and before the tents are pitched I have recorded their forms on some plates. A few inhabitants only are visible, besides cattle, asses, camels, and fowls, but not a single dog ; these are scarce in this part of Persia.
Pervadeh contains 39 inhabitants in eight houses ; they grow dates, wheat, barley, millet, white beet, and cotton, as well as a little fruit. The two hundred camels now grazing in the environs are from Tebbes. The head of the irrigation canal lies at a distance of a farsakh in the hills of Kuh-ipeikuh ; its water is salt. But the village has a large ambar, which holds rain-water all the year, not drying up before the winter rains come.

Within and around Pervadeh there are some heaps of small pieces of black lava, with a very glassy surface and particularly fine cellular structure.
Wild sheep, wild asses, and gazelles occur, and in the evenings large packs of jackals approach the village. Snakes, scorpions, and tarantulas are very common.

At Pervadeh we had to make our choice between the straight road to Naibend, which takes two days, and a circuitous road to the west, which would take a week. As I wanted to make an excursion into this unknown country I chose the latter.
