A river in Luristan, running through a valley, 20 miles long and 12 miles
3 broad, about 30 miles south of Burujird. The Huriid runs north-west
through the plain of Alishtar, and then turns west, and below Khurramabad
falls into the Kashgan, which in turn runs, into the Saimarreh near Pul
i'Garm.
[j “On either hand of the top of the pass at the head of this valley of
a the same name was a stone wall extending to the summits of two hills, some
hundreds of feet above the road ; one of the guides told me it was erected
s as a defence against an incursion of the Turks in bye-gone days, others say
d it is the boundary line between the provinces of Luristan and Burujird.
To my mind the former seems to be the more likely, as no Persian would
e build a wall where a few stones would be equally effective”.— (Schindler.
