^{page 213 note 3} Sir Percy Sykes has informed me that the range of the migration of all the five tribes does not usually exceed 200 miles ; that of the Qashqáís is about 300 miles. A study of the map bears out this statement.

^{page 216 note 1} This is obviously a Persian invention. Regarding the Bayát sub-tribe, which he classes as a branch of the Qashqáís (vol. ii, p. 313), he says elsewhere (vol. ii, p. 27, 1. 5): “They originally came from the plain of Qacháq in Turkestán and came to Fárs with the Qashqáí tribe in ancient times. Then they divided into two branches, one of which united with the Qashqáís and became nomads, while the other settled in the Shíráz. The Bayáts of Fárs and the Bayáts of Nishápúr in Khurásán were one tribe in the first place.” See also vol. ii, p. 109, 11. 21–7 : “ The Ágh Aughalí tribe originally came from Turkestán with Fárs to the Bayáts and Qash-qáís. Turkish is their language up to the present.”

The same applies to a number of the other small tribes which have settled down in villages. There is a gradual tendency in this direction on the part of many of the nomads.
