Of the Province of Kir man.
To the east of Kirman lie the land of Makran, and
the deserts of that country, and Bahrein (the two seas),
on the borders of Bolouje, To the west of Rirman lies the
land of Pars, which we have before described. On the north are
the deserts of Khorasan and Sejestan; and on the south the Per
sian sea and Seirgan ; and, in a cornei, a part of Pars.
In the region of Kirman the climate is both warm and cold.
The fruits are of all kinds; chiefly those of the warm climates.
Part of Kirman is bordered by the sea. Here are their harbours
and ports, which are subject to excessive heat, such as
HomxuZ} and Jaronn, and some others, and the air in
general is not pure.
Now we proceed to describe the cities and mountains of Kir
man, and to lay before the reader a map of that province, such as
we have seen it.
