again descends into the valley, where a building has been constructed ^in,
the form of a caravanserai named Kakh or more generally Deh Bala.
The Khan spends the winter here in tents, the locality being known as
Emele (?). From here an easy road or rather pathway leads to Khur-
ramabad and meets a road from Khurramabad to Dizful, whence an enemy
could execute a flank movement and attack with the co-operation of the
Lurs of Pusht-i-Kuh, operating on the flank of an army moving south
c along the main line of communication.
Hence this region acquires a certam importance. The locality generally
is practicable for operations of a detachment of infantry, cavalry and
mountain artillery with pack transport.
Supplies and forage are obtainable locally, but not -n any great quantity.
From an adjacent peak a general view of the Pusht-i-Kuh region is obtained.
Lower down to the south-west, there is an important pass the Ban-i-
Sir’, over which runs the road from Deh Bala to the lowlands cn the
Turkish frontier.
Both in character and mode of life the inhabitants resemble the other
tribes of Lunstan.
