Ports.
The boundary between the BakhtiarT territory and the
Qashqai country (or Isfahan province—it is not always clear
which) is then followed, Basaki being well within the former.
The line, however, does not attain any precision anywhere. In
this volume the Kuhgalu country is not dealt with, and the west
ern boundary of the portion of Ears described in it runs from
Id miles north of Bandar Dilam in a semi-circular sweep, which
passes well to the east of Basht and joins the line of division men
tioned above to the east of Basaki.
The boundary between Ears and the province of Isfahan is
scarcely less vague ; according to one version it crosses the
Shiraz-Isfahan road just north of Yazd-i-Khast ; according to
another 7^ miles north of that village, where it runs along the
ridge of the Gard-i-Gir hills ; while according to the Farsnameh
half way between Amlnabad and Maqsud Beg.
The eastern boundary marches successively with that of
Isfahan and with those of the AbrkQh and' Shahr-i-Babak
districts of Yazd and of the Sirjan district of Kerman. Kerman
province first adjoins Ears from a point some miles west of
s nabad in the kapir. From this point the joint frontier runs
south-east to Abu Bakr where the most northern point of Laristan
is met. Turning south-we$t to XtTz and then slightly eastward
o arab, the remainder of the eastern boundary of Ears is coter
minous with the western border of Laristan : the same district
accompanies Ears on the south, as its southern boundary now
runs west and slightly south to Jahrum (which is in Ears)-finally
urnmg more southward and meeting the coast of the Persian
Gulf, seven miles to the east of Tahiri in the Shibkfdi district.
Jhe area under the administration of the Governor of the
Gulf Urts consists, with the exception of DashtT and
shtetan, of the whole of the coastal strip extending from
