on either side, towards Bushire on the west and Bandar ’Abbas on the
east, would be speedily opened out, and the way would be thus paved for a
land-line from Bushire to Bandar ’Abbas and thence to Jashk. If this
latter line were constructed, the Indian Telegraph system would be con
nected through to Constantinople, and the European system, by a con
tinuous land-line through Makran, Southern Persia and Turkey in Asia.
The maximum temperature noted herein March was 71° and the min
imum 38°.— (Butcher, 1893.)
JAMALABAD (1)— Lat. 29° 51' N. Long. 53° 15' E. Elev.
A village in Ears, situated in an off-shoot of the Marvdasht plain, a
short distance north-west of lake Niriz. The village can furnish some
supplies. From here two roads lead to Persepolis ; one by a valley to
the right, the other due west by Qadamgah.
JAMALABAD (2)— Lat. 27° 58' N. Long. 52° 11' E. Elev.

A village on the road from Yazd to Bavanat 7 miles south-east of the
latter.— (Blackman.)
JAMALl—L at. 32° 43' N. Long. 50° 34'. Elev.
A village situated on a small tributary of the Zindeh Pud, about 48
miles south of Khwansar. It is a treeless village, with bare, brown walls
standing at the end of a road, a vista of dazzling white. The Zindeh
Rud seems useless for irrigation here, as all the villages hereabouts are
watered by tiny affluents, flowing through ravines terraced with crops. The
snow lies deep here in winter and cuts off communication between the
villages for weeks at a time, showing the elevation to be considerable.—
