TARUM—
A district of Azarbaijan, Persia, situated on both banks of heKizilUzun
and between the Elburz and the Masuloh ranges. Tarum is divided into
two districts; the upper division, which occupies a narrow tract on the
right bank of the Kizil Uzun between the river and the mountains, is
named Tarum-i-Khalkhal; the lower a more open country, where the hills
recede farther from the river is called Tarum-i-pain. The district on the
left bank of the river, stretching up to the other range of mountains is
named Pusht-i-Kuh, and though now usually included in Tarum is not
considered properly to belong to it. Tarum-i-Khalkhal contains about
a hundred villages, situated among the ravines and narrow valleys which
run down from the mountains to the river. It is abundantlv watered and
possessing a very warm climate, is well adapted to the cultivation of cot
ton, which it produces in large quantities. There are a great number
of gardens and orchards also round all the villages, and the fruit which
is thus grown, forms one of the staple articles of export. In the moun
tains, too, there are mines of salt and alum that are considered of some
value. The chief place in Tarum-i-Khalkhal is Vanisard, a large village
distant about one mile from the river, considerably below the point where
the road from Zmjan to Gdan crosses it. Tashwish, upon the skirts of the
hills, near \anisard, is also a place of some consequence. A very small
proportion of the villages remain in the hands of Government ; by far the
greatest part have either been conferred in t'ul upon the proprietors
or have been given in lieu of pay to the officers of the court. The inhabit
ants are all Turks.— (Rawlinson.)
