Sulaiman'eh, 78 miles from the latter and 47 from the former and close
to the village of Halabjik.— (Gerard.)
AB-I-GANGlR (GANJIR)—
The Ab-i-Gangir has its source in Gilan, and joins the Baldruj river in
Turkish territory. It passes through the valley of Gangir and through
that of Saumar ; being used for irrigation purposes by the inhabitants of
Mandali, who pay the Aivanis 100 to 150 tumuns per annum in return for
the use of the water. _ _
From the spot where the Gilan Mandali route strikes the Ab-i-Gangir,
this latter takes a south westerly direction, and passes by Karaveh
Shaikhan, 1 farsdkh further on and 2J farsakhs from Vijanan.—(L. Leleux
and H. L. Rabino, 1902-03).

Garan, and six farsakhs farther, at the village Qalagah, it joins the
Ab-i-Marlvan. (Schindler.)

A small and dilapidated village in the Khur district. It contains 12
inhabitants and is situated on the summit of a low pass between two low
chains of hills. There are about two acres of cultivation and a small

is the spring. The water issues at one spot from the ground in a copious
stream at a temperature of 125°, and at another spot, not 20 yards off, is a
spring whose temperature is below 60°. The water here, both hot and
1 cold, is fresh and good, and celebrated for its healing properties.— (Vaughan.)
