slopes, which here form a table land, the mountain peaks rising above it to
the north. The summits of the hill are bare and rocky, but the slopes are gentle,
and contain much grass and many springs and its sides are clothed with the
remains of oak forest and bushes.

on the side nearest the mountains, but the water in the centre is clear and blue.
There are numbers of wild fowl. It is frozen over in winter. The plains around
it are a favourite resort of the Jaff Kurds in summer. It is about a mile long
from north to south. In the spring when the water is high a stream, the Ab-i-
Merivan, issues from the southern end and flows through the Avroman moun
tains into the Ab-i-Shirvan. The lake is decreasing in size every } car. The
marshy ground surrounding it produces an abundance of excellent rice, iccord-
in? to local tradition the lake covers the towns of Sodom and Gomorrha.—
