12. None of the wriUen materi&1l dealine with the Bakhtiari cive detailed
data on the specific routes followed durine a Huonal cycle. The moet .trikine
example of thil deficiency is the effort of Merian C. Cooper, GraN (New York:
G.P. Putnam'. Sonl, 1928). While Cooper', daeriptioD. of Bakhtiari movement
is graphic and his photography iI excellent, he migrated with only one minor
group, mentions nothine on movement, of other croups, draws no maps, and
Hems to reeard the specifics of place names and location u
non-ellential
information euily dispenled with. The best IOUrce for the Bakhtiari remain.
the now dated work of Clement de Bode.
