LARISTAN—
“ History .—During 1910 and 1911 lawlessness was very prevalent in Laris-
tan, although Saiyid ’Abdul Husain, Lari, did not take a prominent part
in public affairs. The continuance of smuggling and the insecurity of
roads prevented British trade from making any progress.
Page 595 before “ Harbours ” add the following
Military .-—In 1910 it was reported that 972 arms, including Mauser pistols,
had been landed in the Lingeh district, and in 1911 about 2,760 rifles were
landed. There is a ready sale for good arms among the Arab tribes of Laris-
tan, though some of the rifles imported by Laris and Ivazls find their way
to Yazd into the hands of Afghans trading with that place. Many Afghans
also come to Lingeh , but more of them go to Lar, where the market of arms
appears to be situated.
LIE AVI (Tribe)—
A division of the Kuhgalu {q.v.) f also see under Bahmai, Talyibi

According to tribal traditions their progenitor was a Behdarvand Bakhtiar,
(by name —Agha Ali), who fled from his own country and settled in the
Tang-i-Lira, married a Lur girl, by whom he had four sons, from whom
are sprung 4 of the present 5 sub-tribes of the Liravi. This is most easily
explained by the sub-joined tree :—
