BUN—BUN
BUNNEH SAIYID SULTAN, vide GARGAR (AB-I-).
BUN RUD— Lat. Long. Ei.ev.

The Kara Aghach river is said to rise in Bun Rud.— (Ross.)

BUNVAR (1) —Lat. 31° 39' N. ; Long. 49° 13' E. ; Elev.
A village passed on the road from Ram Hormuz in a south-west direction
to Ma’shur ; it consists of 60 huts lying on both banks of the river Jarrahi.
— (Burton, 1903.)
BUNVAR (2)— Lat. 32° 25' N.; Long. 48° 22' E. ; Elev.
A group of villages in the Dizful district of Southern ’Arabistan, begin
ning about 6 miles west of Dizfiil town on the road to Pa-i-Pul and ’Am-
areh. The villages stand on level ground on the right bank of the Bala
Rud, and each is surrounded by trees ; the principal are Banwar Nazir, Du-
bandar Mian Chughan Kaleh-i-Haji ’All and Kaleh Nau. The population
is mixed, part being Dizfulis, part Arabs, part Sagasand Lurs and part a
Kurdish section called ? Amaleh Karim Khan from the name of their head
man, who is connected by marriage with the Yali of Pusht-i-Kuh : these
miscellaneous ingredients have not yet become properly fused, and the
result is a community weaker for offence and defence than might have
been expected of their numerical strength, which is said to be about 3,000
fighting men with the ordinary proportion of rifles. All are engaged in
agricultural or pastoral occupations. They own large flocks of sheep and
herds of buffaloes and cattle, and dispose of the produce in Dizful town:
they grow wheat, rice, millet and mash, besides fruits, including apri
cots, pomegranates, grapes, oranges, limes and dates : they also sapply
Dizful town with firewood from the Karkheh river. Water is abundant
and is brought from the Diz river by a small canal which takes off on the
rmht bank at the Dizful bridge ; the Bala Rud, when in flood, adds its
quota to the irrigation of the village lands, and a large canal from the Kar
kheh, called the Harmushi, brings water close up to the settlement. Food
and forage are plentiful, and about 300 or 400 mules are owned here.
Banvar, though near to Dizful, is practically independent and pays no
revenue to the Persian Government ; but the disunited population, though
they shelter themselves behind the name of Vali of Pusht-i-Kuh, suffer
much from depredations of the Sagwand Lurs as well as of the Kinaneh and
Khasraj sections of the Ban! Lam, and ot late years the place has been
declining in importance.— (Foreign Department Gazetteer, 1905.)
BUNVAR (Village), vide JARRAHI (River).
BUNVAR KHWAJA HUSAIN—
A village ot 60 houses in Northern ’Arabistan, about 8 miles west-south
west of Dizful on the road to Shaikhan. It has a small fort, and is inhabited
by Dizfuli agriculturists. Water is obtained from the river Diz. —(Persian
Gidj Gazetteer, 1908.)
