The Lailum stream, here shallow and 20 feet broad, flows in a bed of
conglomerate 30 feet deep. By a narrow gorge it here forces its way
through the Kheolah range; it is possible to get to the northern side of the
range by passing through the gorge. The rocks here are full of nummulites.
The river is forded with difficulty after rain.
Thermometer, 10th April 1884, 80° at 3 p.m. The passage of the Lailum
is difficult owing to large boulders covering its bed.— [Bell.)

A pass in Laristan, over the Kuh Bonesh Katu, about 28 miles from Lar
on the road to Bushire ; Entering the pass from the south, or Bushire side
the road runs up a ravine for about 2 ^ furlongs, when it crosses a narrow
rocky^ torrent-bed with a stream of water 3 feet deep flowing in a westerly
diiection. It then passes up a dry torrent-bed between two hills of gravelly
limestone, after which the ascent continues over rocky ground and is fairly
easy. The descent down the northern side which is called the Gardan-i-
Khudu, is rather steep and in parts nigged and narrow. Precipitous, and
frequently perpendicular, rocks rise on either side of the road, which, though
practicable enough for infantry or pack transport, would be very difficult
it not impassable, to field artillery.— April 1888.)
