KHALTFEH —Lat. Long. Elev.
A village in the Shabankarek district of Ears, 7 miles west of Dch Kulmeh,
close to the End Shur. It contains 100 houses inhabited by Arabs of un
known tribe, and is said to be named after a learned man by whom it was
founded. The crops include wheat, barley and dates, and the villagers
own a few horses and 150 donkeys.— {Persian Gulf Gazetteer, 1908.)
KHALIQABAD (1)—Lat. Long. Elev.
A village between Khir and Khan-i-Kati, Ears, on the road from Kirman
to Shiraz.— {Lovett.)
KHALIQABAD (2)—
A village in the Anar district {q.v.) of Kirman.
KHALIQABAD (3)— Lat. 30° 50' N. Long. 56° 22' E. Elev.
A hamlet in Kirman, near Yazdanabad {q-v.).
KHAMAN (Eiver)—
A river of Luristan, rising in the Garnn range north of Alishtar. Its
principal source is said to be a large spring gushing out of the side of the
moutain : also that from the opposite side of the mountain a similar spring
flows north of the Gamasib valley; on the mountain ridge is a deep hole
or fissure down which the late Shah Nasr-ud-Din is said to have ordered
a load of bhusa to be cast, with the result that half emerged from
either spring. (The above legend may be taken for what it is worth.) It
is recruited by many springs and streams in the Alishtar plain, and crosses
the Khurramabad road in three branches which unite to the south of the
road ; it flows through the wooded gorge of Jirian, where it is swelled also by
the Kakuria river. Where crossed by the Khurramabad road, the principal
channel is 25 yards by 2 feet greatest depth. The bottom and banks are
pebbly and firm ; the latter require ramping for the passage of artillery.
The other branches are of inferior size, being mere streams. The river is
said to flow ultimately into the Kashgan, west of the Chagani plain. The
Khaman is the Ab-i-Alishtar mentioned by Rawlinson.— {Burton, 1897.)
KHAMlR— Lat. 26° 56'40"; Long. 55° 40'20"; Elev.
A large village situated on the coast of the Bastak district of Persia,
about 12 miles west-north-west of Laft on Qishm island; the mountains
called Kuh-i-Khamir run east and west immediately on the north side.
Khamir is approached within half a mile by a creek, leading out of the
Masakeh branch of Clarence Strait, which is navigable for native boats of 20 to
30 tons’ burden. Sweet water is contained in 17 large reservoirs and brackish
water in a dozen wells. Hills called Kuh-i-Dumdumdeh, one mile to the
north-west, yield lime ; and 3 miles to westward, in a spur of the higher
mountains which is called Kuh Ma’dan, are deposits of sulphur in con
junction with gypsum and a hot, sulphurous spring. The spring is called
Ab Bad and rises in a masonry tank.
On the east side of the place are date-plantations, and in this direction,
at 3 miles from the village, is a well in excellent repair, which was built
by Saiyid Sultan of Masqat during an ’Omani occupation. This rampart
