ly an epitome of the trade of the district. The exports all go to Bushire,
and comprise wheat, barley, beans, melons, tobacco, gum, wool, firewood,
charcoal and lime ; the imports for the consumption of the town and dis
trict are chiefly prints, rice, coffee, sugar, tea, opium and spices and are
from Bushire. The water supply is from deep wells and is reported to be

taste, it is apt to cause diarrhoea or colic to travellers. Excellent water
can be procured from the hills a few miles to the east of Borazjun. The

is equal to about 18 lbs. 11 oz. English, giving a Hashim man of 139 lbs.
