KALEH SHAH KHANEH—

to Kirmanshah and that down the Bilavar valley to Juanrud. It contains
about 12 houses and has one or two trees. Some crops and cultivation.
Water from a stream. Supplies : 150 sheep and goats. Good grazing.
It is about 34 miles from Kirmanshah by road, about 63 miles from Sinneh
and 33 miles from Juanru.— (Vaughan.)
KALEH SHAH! TAKI—Elev. 3,860'.
The name of a halting-place in Kirmanshah, about 20 miles south-west of
Karind in the Chila valley. There are the ruins of a Zoroastrian fort on
a mound on the south side of the valley. A stream flows close by and
there are springs. The hills to the south and close by are covered with
trees. Grazing and firewood plentiful. Troops can camp on the right
bank of the stream. There is said to be another ruined fort upon the
summit of the range close by. Hoads from here to Qasr-i-Shirln, 56
miles, to Sar-i-Pul, 29 miles, and Kirmanshah, about 80 miles.— (Vaughan.)
KALEH SHAIKH GABAN—
A village about 6 miles east of Kamyaran on the boundary between
Kirmanshah and Ardalan.— (Gerard.)
KALEH SHAHlN—
A plain on the Sar-i-Pul Karind road in Persian Kurdistan, east of the
Paikaleh range.— (Plowden.)
This plain takes its name from a small fort on the Paikaleh range. Kaw-
linson writes :—“Kaleh Shahin, immediately contiguous to the old city of
Hulvan, was unquestionably included in the territory of the Kurdish prince
of Dartang and Darnah, who, at the time of the treaty of 1639 in the reign
of Murad IY of Turkey and Shah Saffi of Persia, or at any rate shortly
before it, ruled over Zuhab and the whole, of the adjoining mountains.
The lands of Kaleh Shahin indeed were only purchased by the Kalhur
chief from the Turkish proprietors about 40 years ago, and I have already
heard in this country the right of Persia to Gilan placed in precisely the same
category as her claims upon the Pashalik Zuhab.
KALEH SHURAB—
A village in Yazd, about two miles north of the road to Isfahan, distant
98| miles.— (Preece, 1892.)
KALEH SIN—
A village containing 50 houses, 33 miles south-east of Tehran. Belongs
to the Bahman Sukhteh division of Varamln district.— (Vaughan, 1891.)
KALEH TAPPEH—
A deserted fort on the western border of Kurdistan, 6 miles south-east of
Panjvln on the road to Marivan.— (Gerard.)
KALEH TURAGH—
A small stone fort on a low hill, in Persian Kurdistan, close to the fron
tier of Turkey, where the Sinneh-Sulaimanleh road crosses it.— (T. C.
Plowden.)
