HAJAMAL— Lat. Long. Elev.
A caravanserai A roadside inn providing accommodation for caravans (groups of travellers). in Laristan, containing 24 lower rooms and a cistern of
good wader. It is situated about 48 miles from Lar and 13| from Pas

right bank of the Hajamal river. There is a small date grove, no popula
tion. (Butcher, April 1888- — Wilson and CruickshanJc, 1907.)
HAJAMAL or SHUR or DUNDIL (River)—
A river in Laristan which rises in the hills north of Hormuz, and, passing
under the west side of that village, flows in a generally south-easterly
direction^ Its waters are salt and in the month of April are very scanty.
The Lar Bandar Abbas road follows its course for many miles, lying
sometimes on one bank and sometimes on the other, and occasionally
as when it enters the Tang-i-Shu and the Tang-i-Dalan, lying in the bed
of the river itself. The bed is for the most part shallow, with shelving
banks, and a pebbly, sandy bottom.
It varies in width from 100 to 200 yards except where it passes through
the defiles above-mentioned, when the channel becomes much narrower, at
one point in the Tang-i-Dalan not exceeding 30 yards.
The road continues to follow the stream, which, below the Tang-i-Shuk,
is called the 8hur, as far as Jihun, beyond which they separate—the road
continuing on its old alignment towards Bandar ’Abbas, the river taking a
sudden bend to the south. Its subsequent course is not accurately known,
but it probably joins the Maharan, another salt water stream which flows
into the sea at Khamlr, some miles above its mouth— (Butcher, April
1888.)
