Villages and 'populations .—The fixed villages of the district are almost,
without exception, situated on the Karun, the largest being Nasiri,
Muzaffari, Ahwaz, Braicheh and Wais, and the settled population of the
district, including, besides the Karun village, the large semi-permanent
settlements of Banneh and Shakheh ; may be estimated at 13,000 souls. The
sedentary population consists chiefly of Bavleh, Al Bu Kurd, Dizfulls,
Shushtaris and Ma’awieh ; but among them are Hamaid, Zarqan, Hawa-
shim and Muhaisin, and a very few Tkrish and Sabians. The Ka’b of
Banneh and Skakheh are here reckoned among the fixed inhabitants of the
district, and there is a proportion of miscellaneous Arabs and Persians.
The mud brick used in domestic architecture is of the same pattern as in
the Jarrahi district.
The nomad population is very much larger, amounting to about 37,930
souls, and includes the bulk of the Bavleh and ’Anafljeh tribes. Besides
these there are Faratiseh, Hamaid, Hardan, Hawashim, Jama’, Ka’b, Mara-
wuneh, Muliaisin, Al Bu Rawaleh, Bait Sad, Salamat, Shawakir, Bani
