and contains some 60 houses. In the vicinity are numerous ancient Zoro-
astrian ruins.
Water is plentiful from wells and springs, and there is also a hot water
spring, of which the temperature is 103°.
The camping-ground is spacious though stony, but supplies are scanty
with the exception of firewood, which is said to be obtained in abundance
from the Kuh-i-Gavbus.— (Vaughan, April 1890.)
FEHLlAN (1) or PALIAN— Lat. 30° 17' N. ; Long. 51° 35' E.; Elev.
A town in the Shulistan district of Ears, some 72 miles north-west of
Shiraz, and the principal village of the Talaspid plain. It is situated in the
Shi’b Bavvan valley, at the northern base of the hills, some 2 miles west
* of the Behbehan-Shiraz road at Gureh. In the winter months narcissus
grows here in great abundance. DeBode describes it is a paltry little town
of most sixty or seventy houses, but enclosed by walls now in ruins, which
show that it was formerly not quite so insignificant. It is supplied with
water by a canal cut through the hills from the snow-capped chain beyond
Kaleh Safid for a distance of 14 miles. It is surrounded by fine palm trees
and has a fort it ruins on the summit of a small hill. As a precipice rises
close behind the town, it is probable that the heat in summer must be in
tolerable. Supplies of grain and cattle can be obtained here, and wood is
procurable from the Bakhtiari tribes in the neighbourhood.
