KAL—KAL
KALEH-I-IZU-GALDrMARGAN—
A small fort occupied by ten families, in the Daireh Gaz district of nor
them Khorasan.— (Petruseiritch.)
KALEH-I-JALAL-UD-DIN—
Lies 4 miles to the west, slightly north of the village of Jajarm near
the village of Garma in the Jajarm district of Khorasan. It consists of
nothin^ °but the ruins of a fort on the top of a low hill. This fort is
remarlTable by being most substantially built of stone and mortar, the
rarest thing in this country. It is hexagonal, with a bastion at each
corner each face inside being about 16 yards in length. The foundations
seem to be carried down to a considerable depth, also an unusual thing
in buildings in this country. There is a spring just below the fort to the
west of the hill on which the fort stands, but the fort seems to have been
supplied with water from a well. _ i i
There are a number of large earthenware jars of a deep red colour
and very well made, built into the walls and bastions in all directions.
The Sani’-ud-Dauleh, who describes this fort, considers that these jars were
meant for the storage of flour, not for water, as a well mside the fort
contained water ; but he remarks that this well has no sign of having
been artificially made, and looks as if it was natural, there being no
mark of pick-axes, etc., in it. The Sani^ud-Dauleh says the water of
the spring smells of sulphur, and that the well m his time (1882) was filled
up to within 20 zar's (or 68.2 feet) of the top.

A village of the Astarabad province, 8 miles from that town, on the
