'GAZETTEER OF PERSIA. VOL. III. PART II: L to Z' [‎373v] (751/988)

TANG-I-HANASIIK—
A defile in Fars, 12 miles north-northeast of Deh Bid through which the
winter road from Deh Bid to Yazd passes. The gradients are easy, but ex
cept for flanking parties, the movements of troops would be confined to the
defile. [Howe, 1906.)
TANG-I-HAZAK-YAK (TANG HAZAR CIR)— Lat. Long. Elev.
A stony ravine between high rocky cliffs on the Lynch road at 4$ miles
from Sarkhun in the direction of Isfahan. {Burton, 1903.)
TANG-I-'IRAQ— Lat. Long. Elev.
A narrow defile in Ears, 34 miles west of Darab, on the Shiraz road.—
(Otiseley.)
TANG-I-JALAKAN— Lat. Long. Elev.
A short but difficult pass in Khuzistan, traversed on the road from Dizful
to Shushtar via Ab-i-Bid. It is also called Tang-i-Rishgir. {Schindler.)
TANG-I-JUMARK— Lat. Long. Elev.
A pass in Kirmanshah on the road from Kirmanshah city to Baghdad via
Mandali. Its elevation is about 5,300 feet. A small stream flows through
it from the valley to its north, to the Guar valley south of it. It is about
200 yards in width at the narrowest point to the north, where there are traces
of an ancient wall. The ground descends gently through it in a southerly
direction for £ of a mile, shortly before which the width of the defile
reaches 400 yards; the pass then terminates in the Guar Valley. The
hills on both sides are well-wooded, that on the west being the highest,
and its topmost peak the most dfficult of access. It is possibly turnable
from the west within 2 or 3 miles. It is passable to field guns.— {Vaughan.)
TANG-I-KA'B— Lat. Long. Elev.
A pass ascended by the Isfahan-’Arabistan trade road above the bridge of
Gudar-i-Balutak in a north-east direction for 5 miles: for 3 miles of this
distance the old paved road is still largely extant. The ascent is steep,
and, in parts, rough and difficult for laden animals : the gorge is wooded
throughout, and from 4^ to 10 miles from the bridge the ravine holds water
throughout the year.— {Burton, 1903.)
TANG-I-KAMAN— Lat. Long. Elev.
A defile on the road from Bavanat to Shiraz, 34 miles south-west of the
former; at its entrance from the north, the road turns to the west, and for
the first half mile the defile is very narrow with precipitous sides; the road
is very winding crossing and re-crossing the stream several times after which
the defile becomes a trifle more open; still farther on there are a great
number of qandts, until, outside the pass, the water is completely drained off.
In the pass are the kalehs of Sadatabad, Angahan, and Chah Surkh. The
stream of the same name rises under the hills on the north side of the Sar
Pariran plain, and flows through the defile.— {Blackman.)
TANG-I-KARlM—L at. Long. Elev.
A pass in Ears, on the road from Fasa to Nlriz, and 15 miles from the
former town. The pass is about 2£ miles long but is not difficult. At
its southern entrance is a village called “ The 40 springs ” where there
