the junction of the Bint and Maluran rivers. The routes between Bint
and Chahbar, and Geh and Jashk cross here. The distance to Geh being
about 50 miles. There are said to be no supplies, and the water has to

KAUR GtJRAN—
One of the two navigable channels between Laft Point and Guran, island
of Qishm, Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. . It is the more eastern of the two, is narrow (in
some parts under a quarter of a mile in width), but generally preferred by
the pilots, as the water is 5 to 15 fathoms deep. The banks are of mud,
and well defined by the mangroves on them.
Its course is tortuous, being south from Laft Point for 9 miles, passing
about 1 mile westward of that town; thence north-west for 2| miles ;
and then turning sharp south-west and south-south-west for 9 miles more,
to the village of Guran. It then trends west-south-west for 2 miles, when
it re-unites with the western or main channel. This last reach is the
most difficult part of the passage ; it is very narrow, with 12 to
15 fathoms water, and the banks are covered at high water, and have no
mangroves on them.— {Constable ; Stiffe ; Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. Pilot ; Lorimer.)
