KAM FlRtJZ (valley)—Lat. 30° 12' ; Long. 52° 27' ; Elev.
A valley, plain and buluk of Ears, situated on the upper reaches of the Kur
or Band Amir river, north-west of Shiraz. It is a beautiful valley
between two ranges of high mountains, clothed with trees and bushes. To
the south-west the Kuh range, covered with snow and about 14,000 feet
in elevation, stands boldly up. To the west the summit of the Kuh Dina is
just visible. The valley is highly cultivated and full of fine crops ; it is
covered with villages, 20 in number, and down its centre flows the fine, broad,
fresh water river Kur, whose banks are clothed with trees and bushes. The
river here is a clear and rapid stream containing large fish, and has numerous
fords passable by men on foot. The chief ford by which the road crosses
is almost due south of the town, and runs straight across the river, which is
40 yards broad, with clear, cold water and a swift current. The ford is 2 to
3 feet deep over a bed of gravel and shingle. The forests to the south and
south-west contains the bear, leopard and wild boar. The names of the
villages are given by Durand as under :—
1. ’Aliabad.
2. Bagh-i-Nau.
3. Bilu.
4. Cham-i-Zami.
5. Kahmin.
6. Kaleh-i-Chugheh.
7. Kaleh-i-Chukan.
8. Kamin.
9. Khurreh Vakan.
10. Khani Man.
11. Sir-i-Mangan.
12. Majnaveh.
13. Mansurabad.
14. Palangi or Palan gari.
15. Tal-i-Surkh.
Five other names doubtful.
Khani Man is the chief town. The valley in 1878 belonged to Haji Nasir-
ullau Khan ; and Durand says that it appears he sold Khani Man, Bilu,
Bakian and Palangi to the Mushir-ul-Mulk. Vaughan, however, says in
1891 that the village numbered 19, apparently exclusive of Khani Man and
the Governor of that town (and presumubly of the whole district, for he
administers Dilkhun) in that year was Haji Khuda Khan. The estimated
population of the district is 3,500.
