BINARt— Lat. 28° 1'; Long. 53° 56'.
A prosperous village on the north slopes of Kuh-i-Binaru, on the south
edge of an extensive irrigated plain. Population about 1,200 ; a few palm-
trees. Water plentiful from cisterns and irrigation cuts. Supplies plenti
ful ; fuel scarce. It is celebrated for its tobacco. It lies 45 miles north
west of Lar, 135 from Shiraz and 165 from Mughu Bay.
Roads diverge in every direction across the open plain, the chief roads
being to Bid-Shahr Biriz, Firuzabad and Juium. On the top of the Kuh-i-
Binaru is an ancient ruin, named Shah Nishin, connected with a ruined
mud fort, at the foot of the hill, by a ruined covered way. The hillside
to the north is covered with ruins of houses, all formerly enclosed by a
strong, double wall, of which the foundations alone are now visible. In the
centre of the ruins are an old cistern and two dry wells, 200 feet deep.—

intermix with the Chehar Lang.— {Layard.)
BINISGAN—
An elevated valley in the Bakhtiari country, traversed by the head
waters of the Karun, immediately above the defile known as the Tang-i-

June) of 3 feet and a width of 400 yards from bank to bank. A good
camping-ground, known as “ Chandar, ” under a grove of white poplars,
is found at an elevation of 8,010 feet. The valley has two abdds in the
fo rm of 4 low-walled, double square enclosures built upon the ruins of
ancient Armenian villages, with a group of trees close to each. These are
the only trees in the valley, which is, however, cultivated on all available
places on the left bank, but somehow not on the high, flat spurs crossed
on the right.— {Sawyer, 1890 ; Arbuthnot, 1905.)
