KDIM-N’AL SHIKAN (2)— Lat. Long. Elev.
A hill close to Harnnabad in Kirmanshah. It is composed entirely of
white marble, and derives its name from the destruction it does to horses
h o of s.— (Rozario.)
KtJH-I NAMAK (1) -Lat. Long. Elev. 4,000'.
A mountain of the maritime range of Ears, and the continuation of the
same onthesouth of theMundgap. It is of sandstone below, and towards
the summit consists largely of salt, which is visible from afar as glistening
streaks of white or grey.— {Foreign Department Gazetteer, 1905.)
KtJH-I-NAMAK (2)—Lat. Long. Elev.
A hill in Ears, about 10miles west of Darab and north of the road thence
to Fasa. It appears to consist of nothing but fine salt. Its variegated
colours together with its numerous sharp pinnacles standing out against the
dark background formed by the hills beyond, make it a remarkable land
mark.— (Preece, 1884.)
KtJH-I-NAMAK-I-ANGAM— Lat. Long. Elev.
A mass of hills, about 8 miles north of Gachi. The strata curve up from
all sides and appear to be level at the summit; the centre is occupied by
a depression, partially filled by a mass of greyish rock tinged with red.
There is no sign of a gap through which the Shfir river could flow
and it is probable that the latter flows round the east end of the
hill.— (Wilson and Cruickshank, 1907.)
KUH-I-NISAR— Lat. Long. Elev.
Name of the highest part of a range stretching apparently from north
east to south-west of Farrashband, Ears. St. John s map makes it
terminate in a southerly direction, about due west of that place {vide
Durand’s Report of a Tour in Ears, 1878). The lesser range above
Earrashband is about 3,200 feet high.— {Durand )
The summit of the pass over this wide and broken range is reached
9 miles after leaving the plain of Farrashband on the road from that
place to Kalimeh. There are slight traces of the road made by the
Persian Army in 1856-57.— {St. John.)
KtJH-I-NG—L at. Long. Elev.
A range of hills in Kirmanshah, forming the side or rim of the crater-like
valley of Pain Taq, the entrance of which is from the Bishaveh plain and
the exit by the Taq-i-Gira.— {T. C. Plowden.)
KUH-I-PARSISHT— Lat. Long. Elev.
A range of hills bounding the Bakhtiari district of Parsisht on the east.—
{Schindler.)
KtH-I-PISH iMBlDl—L at. Long. Elev.
