A village of Ears, situated in a plain of the same name between Kunar
Takhteh and Kazarun, 87 miles from Bushire on the road to Shiraz. The
plain is situated near the summit of the pass called Kutal-i-Kamarij. It
is a level patch, 9 miles by 4, shut in by hills 600 to 800 feet high. The
village has about 500 inhabitants, and lies at the foot of the hills on the
north-western side of the plain. Its grey houses are flat-roofed and built
of stone. It has also a fort, a ruined serai, a telegraph rest-house and
bald khdneh, a superior sort of ehdpdr khdneh. Very few supplies are pro
curable, but forage is abundant, and fuel is obtainable from the nomads in
the vicinity. The water is good and plentiful from a well at summir of
pass. The Kutal-i-Kamarij is remarkable for the singular conformation of
the long flat-topped hills at its foot, and the extreme badness of the road.
Half-way up the road become so narrow that a laden mule strikes its load
against the rocks on either hand. It is literally a staircase, ascending 1,200
feet, shut in by overhanging peaks on the left (going to Kazarun), and with
a torrent-bed far below on the right. The opposite side of the torrent-bed is
flanked bv a black wall of rock, 300 feet high. On account of its narrow
ness great inconvenience is experienced when caravans from opposite sides
meet in the middle, vide this Gazetteer, Kutal-i-Kamarij. Salt is found at
Kamarij.
The administration of this district was put into the hands of Haji Mirza
Agha Khan and his brother Fazl ’AH Khan in 1882.— {Petty ; Stack ; Ross ;
