A large village or group of settlements in Southern Arabistan in the Fal-
lahieh district, situated at some distance from the left bank of the Jarrahl
river below the head of the Janjireh canal and above that of the Ivulfl.
It is thus a little to the south of Umm-us-Sakhar, and only a mile or tvo
from the place where the Jarrahi river is finally broken up into canals.
Winding paths connect it with Buzieh, between the same two canals,
and with Fallahieh town, which is about 9 miles to the west. The heads
of the principal canals in the district are commanded at Janjireh, and
