{Butcher, April 1888—Wilson and Cruickshank, 1907.)
HAJAMAL or SHUR or DUNDIL (River)—
A river in Laristan which rises in the hills north of Hormuz, and, passing
under the west .side of that village, flows in a generally south-easterly direc
tion. Its waters are salt and in the month of April are very scanty.
The Lar-Bandar ’Abbas road follows its course for many miles, lying
sometimes on one bank and sometimes on the other, and occasionally,
as when it enters the Tang-i-Shu and the Tang-i-Dalan, lying in the bed
of the river itself. The bed is for the most part shallow, with shelving
banks and a pebbly, sandy bottom.
It varies in width from 100 to 200 yards except where it passes through
the defiles above-mentioned, when the channel becomes much narrower, at
one point in the Tang-i-Dalan not exceeding 30 yards.
The road continues to follow the stream, which, befow the Tang-i-Shuk,
is called the Shur, as far as Jlhun, beyond which they separate—the road
continuing on its old alignment towards Bandar ’Abbas, the river taking
a sudden bend to the south. Its subsequent course is not accurately
known, but it probably joins the Rud-i-Kul another salt water stream
which flow T s into the sea at Khamlr, some miles above its mouth.
