SHttR (Rr vee.) (2) —
A salt water stream in La ristan, which flows south-east, and is crossed
by the road from Furg to Lingeh, 6^ miles south of the former town.
Its bed is gravelly and full of boulders, and, where crossed by the road,
the stream is about 80 miles wide with a depth of 3 feet in the centre and
a rapid current. Half a mile above this point it is joined by the Furg stream
which comes down from the north, past the town of the same name.
The waters of the latter stream are fresh and full of fish, and it is easilv
fordable anywhere.— {Vaughan, January 1888.)
Noti. This and Shur (Kiver) (1) are meant to be descriptive of the same stream.
ShlURAB (1)— vide LABEHRI (SHUR-I-).
SHURAB (2) —
A small blackish stream in Luristan. It flows through tl /3 count'w
of the Judaki division of the Bala Girieh tribe from east to west, and through
a defile of the same name which has an elevation of 5,550 {Schindler
■ — Rabino, 1905.)

. A visage at the western extremity of the Chehar Mahal district, and
immediately north of the Zaadeh Kuh range.—($ bc/£.)

A valley in the north-western Bakhth.rT country, through which runs
one of the sources of the Zindeh Rud. A salt spring is also found in the
centre of the {Sawyer, 1890.)
SHURISH AB —Lat. Long. Elev.

Shutur and the head-waters of the Ab-i-Behishtabad.— {Schindler.)
SHUR, RtJDKHANEH-I—
A river of Kirman, in the plain of Jarufti, flowing from north-west to
south-east.
When crossed at Latldan it was some 2 feet 6 inches deep and 80 feet
broad, flowing slowly towards the sea. Its course as shown on the map
appears to be incorrect. No gap through which it could pierce Kuh-i-
Nimak was visible from Latidan, and it is probable that it pierces the mils
by a tang between Kuh-i-Nimak and Kuh-i-Ginau.
The river is impassable during the rainy season, and requires bridg
ing for artillery. The ford is uncertain and trecherous, with a soft and
shifting bottom.— {WiUon and Cruickshank, 1907.)
SHURtJ —Lat. Long. Elev.
A hamlet on the south-east bol der of Yazd and west of Kuh Banan in
that district. It is a few miles south-east of Deh YAli and struggles to
maintain itself on the edge of a white patch of Kavir. — {Stack.)
