A small walled hamlet, in north ’Arabistan, situated on the western ex
tremity of the plain of Ab-i-Bid, on the more northern of two tracks be
tween >Shushtar (29 miles) and Dizful (20 jniles). A short distance to the east
of it the several broad channels of the Ab-i-Kahunak are reached. These
in spring time carry a considerable flow of water, being from 50 to 60 yards
wide, and some 2| feet deep. The land in the neighbourhood is cultivated,
and is the property of the family of the Shahab-us-Saltaneh, Bakhtiari Khan
{vide this Gazetteer, Bid, Ab). The village consists of 12 houses of Bakhti
ari with a few Dizfulls. There is a weak mud fort but no rifles. Wheat
and barley are grown.— (Arbuthnot, 1905 —

SARCHAHAN—
A district of Pars lying to the north-east of Shiraz. It is bounded on
the north-east by the district of Bavanat, on the west by Kamin and
Qunquri, and on the south by the district of Abadeh-i-Tashk. Its greatest
length is about 22 miles and its greatest breadth about 15, The produce
of the district is wheat, barley, sesame, cotton, opium, beans and grass.
The chief town is Gulkhungan which contains about 50 houses, but the most
populous town is Ziarat, a village of some 200 houses. The district is
watered by the Rudkhaneh-i-Hissami and by springs.
Preece, in 1892, says that Sarchahan is the name given to 2 walled villages
containing 50 houses with a population of 240, watered by qandts and the
river; 20 jaribs are watered in 24 hours ; 3,900 lbs. of grain are sown yearly,
and taxes to the amount of 5,300 tumdns are paid yearly. This description is
probably applicable to the chief town Gulkhungan, and not to the district
as a whole.
The district contains the following villages in addition to Gulkhungan : —
Borazjun Hasanabad.
Bid-i-Nau. Hafr (same as Gulkhungan).
Bibulan. Khvansar.
One of the sources of the Karlin river, in the Bakhtiari mountains. It is
a magnificent spring welling out of the foot of the Zardeh Kuh, yet bearing
the name of the rival range. A mile below, this source of the Karun
is joined by the torrents coming from the Zardeh Kuh Pass, together forming
a considerable volume of water with a current at the rate of 8 miles an hour.
It is this flow of water that the Kar Kunan work was to diverge in order
to increase the Zindeh Rud.—(lawyer, 1S90.)
