A mountain in Ears, south-east of Shiraz. The road from Khirameh to

GANAVEH— Lat. 29°35 / N. Long. 50 o 33' E. Elev.
A group of three villages on the coast of the Haiat Daud dis
trict of Ears, 15 miles north-north-west of the town of Bandar Rig.
The villages, in order from north to south, are distinguished as Shamali
Miani and Qausi. The place is defended by half a dozen towers, and
comprises altogether about 150 houses. The inhabitants are Lurs. A short
way to the south of the villages is a creek called Khur Khalil deep enough
to admit native boats of 25 tons burden ; but the anchorage for larger
vessels is at some distance off-shore, there being only 3 fathoms at 1£
miles and the landing is bad at low-water. Dates, wheat and barley are
the chief products ; there are about 40 horses, 30 mules and 200 donkeys,
and the fowls are said to be remarkably fine. Water good from wells.
Ganaveh is governed by Murad Khan, son of an uncle of the Khan of
Haiat Daud who resides here. A customs official is stationed at this
place to prevent the smuggling of rifles into the country, but as yet the
trade has suffered little from his interference. Near Ganaveh are some of
the extensive ruins for which the Haiat Daud district is celebrated, mark
ing the site of the Jannabeh of the mediaeval Arab and Persian
geographers .—{
