description of
[CII. XII.
village of Eliaseb. After passing the large village
of Bavun JMirdeh, or Father-is-dead, at twenty-
five minutes past nine we came to that oi Kelespee
or Teperesli,' which is situated a little below the
mount near which we encamped on our road to
Sulimania from Bagdad. Here we halted for the
day, notwithstanding the village is but an indifferent
one. The peasants were all busy getting in the
cotton harvest, which contributed to enliven the
scene. The lands hereabouts are watered by a little
stream, which, running south and a little east, t<ill^
into the Tanjeroo river. Goodroon was at this spot,
just opposite to us, forming a wall of rock, and
inclining about north-west and south-east. ihc
western range of hills was visible about a mile or
a mile and a half off, crowned generally by a crest or
line of rock, which grows higher as it proceeds
southward. The rock shows itself also from the
sides of the hills in some craggy fragments, as ii the
hills were in a state of decay. Northward, at the
distance of two or three miles, these hills send forth
a low range which joins Goodroon, and seems to
close the vale of Sulimania in that direction. On
this low range is the mount and remains of Ker-
wanan *. Farther on behind Goodroon appear the
huge bare rocks ot Koorkoor.
Thermometer—2 p.m . 85°; 10 p.m . 59 .
¥ One of the roads from Sulimania to Keuy Sanjiak passes by
Kerwanan, and keeps through Soordash along Goodroon. Distance
fourteen hours.
