but not to field guns. It is turnable north-west by the Gardaneh Vur-
maziar, distant 6 to 8 miles. Its elevation is somewhere about 600 feet.—
(Vaughan.)
GARDANEH GIL-I-SURKH— Lat. Long. Elev, 8,000'.
A pass in Ears, 5 miles north-east of Kham Man. The ascent from the
northern side runs up alongside a dry water-course, amongst big rocks,
boulders and trees, and is impassable for guns. The top is open and level,
and clothed in grass and trees. The descent on the southern side is at first
alongside a ravine between two hills. The sides slope steeply and the road
is impassable for guns. Then, crossing a low spur, the descent continues by
a steep, zigzag road with a gradient of 15° down to the Khur valley, the
total length of the descent being 2J miles. Horse flies are very troublesome ^
on this pass.— (Vaughan, 1891.)
GARDANEH-I-AB BARlK, see KUTAL-I-ZARGHUN.
GARDAN-I-AZAR DURAR—
A pass over a low spur of the Kuh-i-Sufeh by which the post-road from
Shiraz to Isfahan approaches the latter. Both ascent and descent are easy,
by a fair road which, however, narrows in places to 12'.— (Howe, 1906.)
G ARD ANEH-I-CH AK V AR—
31 farsakhs from Isfahan, not far from Chamam Sultan. Coal in con

Elev. 9,000'.
A pass crossed by the road from Imamzadeh IsmaTl to Ujan, miles
west of the former. The gradient averages 1 in 8 with portions at 1 in 3,
and the road, strewn with boulders and protruding masses of rock, is im
practicable for artillery. The tpo of the pass is marked by a ruined tower.
About 200 yards beyond the tower and west of the road is an ab-ambdr.
The tribesmen, who use this road in the spring and autumn migrations,
say the supply of water in this reservoir never fails.— (Grahame, 1908.)
GARDANEH-I-MAIDAN— Lat. Long. Elev.
A pass in Ears on the road from Surian to Simakan, which is 20 miles south- ---
east of Deh Bid ; the ascent from the north is in a sou h-east direction,
gradually getting steeper until near the summit, when it is easier : as far
as this point the road is narrow but not obstructed ; over the top it turns ^
south-west with a slight descent over undulating ground, till it reaches the
bed of a mountain stream. On the south side of the summit there is an
underground winter shelter.— (Blackman.)
GARDANEH-I-MULEH-NA’ L— Ele v. 3,300'.
The top of the pass between Nurabad and Shahpur, 9 miles north-west
of the latter place.— (Grahame, 1908.)
