Captain Vaughan says “ A river which rises north of Senna in Kurdistan
it is a river fed by numerous streams, on which are situated a number o
villages, as well as on its banks. Riverbed here is about 200 yards broad,
between banks which are easy; in summer it contains small but clear streams ,
in spring on the melting of the snows it is in flood ; bed, covered with small
stones, is level. A great number of willows and poplars are grown on its
banks, and wheat and rice during the summer in places m its bed. Melons
are grown during the summer on.its banks. The water is good, dear, and
cold. It contains an immense number of fish south of Senna which,
however, do not run above one pound. About 13| miles north of that place
the river runs down a narrow valley between lofty hills, and “ lles
on its clear waters are joined by the more discoloured ones of the Gav-rud
Daring this part of its course it is fordable at intervals of a quarter of a
mile or less. Fish here take a small spoon, but not very readily, and sometimes
rise to a fly. It then passes the west foot of the Kuh Abdalan, running m a
southern direction with a road down its right bank said to lead to Javanru .
