GIR-GIS
GIRD-I-KtfH— Lat. Long. Elev. 4,777'.
A village in Kirman, 38| miles from Yazd, on the road from that
place to Kirman. It contains some 40 houses, with a population of
210 souls^and pays a mdlldt of 150 tumdns, of which 100 go to Yazd, and
60 to Kirman. It is well supplied with water from seven springs, all of
v/hich are sweet. About 420 Indian maunds of wheat and barley, and
80 Indian maunds of cotton are produced annually, also a few vegetables.
A few camels and donkeys can be hired at 1 krdn per day. Close by is the
north-western extremity of the hill of the same name, which runs from
here in a south-easterly direction for about 11 miles. The Central Persia
telegraph line from Yazd runs via Fahraj, Gird-i-Kuh, and Bandarun to
Shams, west of which it joins the postal route.— [Wood, October 1899.)
GIRl— Lat. Long. Elev.
A village in F£rs, about 70 miles from Bushire, on the road to Shiraz. A
road which leads by this place is practicable for guns.— [Jones).
GIRINJ— Lat. Long. Elev.
A village in Kirman, about 7 miles west of Mashlz, on the road to
Gaud-i-Ahmar. It lies to the south of the track, and consists of some 10
houses and a ruined fort.— [Sykes, 1900.)
GIRRAPAIGAN —Lat. Long. Elev.
A vast plain in Fars, traversed by the road from Fasa to Darab, about
midway.—(Owsefey).
GISEHKAN— Lat. 29° 19' 47". Long. 51° 20' 46". Elev. 5,350'.
A village in the hills, and a hill of the same name, in the Dashtistan dis^
trict of Fars, about 30 miles east by north of Bushire town. There is a
plateau here varying from | mile to 3 miles in breadth, and the village has
springs of sweet water. It consists of 4 separate handets, (in all 80
houses of Kashkutls and Lurs) of about equal size, each protected by a
tower. Insoluble gum, charcoal and wild almonds are exported.
Pelly thinks it probable that good coal would be found on this hill. The
climate is superior to the plair* country, but inferior to that of the plains
bev ond the Kutal-i-Pir Zan and Shiraz. The road to it is precipitous
and boulder strewn. A force camping at Sisakan would have to bring all its
supplies from the sea-board. Firewood, however, can be collected from
brushwood and scrubby trees, which are more or less sparsely sprinkled over
the hills. [Pelly — Colville—Persian Gulf Pilot—Persian Gulf Gazetteer,
1908.)
