This article appears in Volume V03, Page 981 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BER-BLA
BIRJEND , the
capital
  of Kann, a sub-province of
Khorasan
  in Persia, in 32 53' N. 59 10' E., and at an
elevation
  of 4550 ft. Pop. about 25,000. It is situated 328 M. from Meshed by the direct road, in a fertile valley running
east
  and west, of which the southern boundary is a lofty range of barren hills known as Kuh i Bakeran. Through the valley runs the Khusp river, which loses itself in the
desert
  towards the west; it is, however, generally dry. The water-
supply
  of the town and of the 70 or 8o villages under its
jurisdiction
  is very scanty. On the
east
  of the town at the foot of a hill stands a dilapidated fort. Birjend has six good caravanserais, a college and some mosques;
post
  and telegraph offices were established there in 1902.
