KHUR BARKAN— Lat. Long. Elev.
A channel between the shoal called Fasht-al-Muairith, coast of Khuzistan,
and the shoals of Barkan. It is about 4 miles broad, with deep water.—
(Constable — Stiffe—Persian Gulf Pilot.)
KHUR DAIREH— Lat. Long. Elev.
A channel leading into Bushire harbour from the interior, with 3 to
4 fathoms of water. The head of it is the innermost anchorage used in
the harbour (vide this Gazetteer—Bushire town.)— (Foreign Department
Gazetteer, 1905.)
KHUR DAURAQISTAN— Lat. 30° V 20"; Long. 48° 54' 30"; Elev.
A winding tidal inlet, running in from the Southern ’Arabistan coast of the
Persian Gulf into the Karun river. It is about 35 miles in length, running in
a general south-easterly direction from the town of Buzieh to Khur Vasteh.
At Buzieh which stands upon both banks the creek is spanned by a bridge
of date-tree logs: two or three villages occur upon its right bank in the 8 miles
next below Buzieh. The right bank is occupied by the A1 Bu ’Abadj and
A1 Bu Dahaleh sections of the Ka’b Arabs, and the left bank of the A1 Bu
Hammadi section of the same tribe. The latitude and longitude given were
those of the entrance about 1884, at which time there was one fathom of
water at the entrance in low water, and 3 and 4 fathoms inside. Both the
bearings and the depth of the water have since then probably varied.—

KHURDEH ISMA’IL— Lat. Long. Elev.
A village contained in the Deh Bid (q.v.) district; it consists of 25 houses
with a population of 100. The yearly yield of wheat and barley is 30,000
mans — (Wilson, 1907.)
KHURDEH PUREH— Lat. Long. Elev.
A village contained in the Deh Bid (q.v.) district ; it consists of 8 houses
with a population of 35. The yearly yield of wheat and barley is 8,000
mans. — (Wilson, 1907.)
KHtjR-I-SHtjLl-
A herd-keeping clan of Iliats in Ears, numbering some 2,000 families
and inhabiting the region between Deh Ram and Kilib Abadeh they possess
some three hundred mules.— (Mclvor.)
KHUR KHAFGAH— Lat. 29° 46' ; Long. 48° 44'; Elev.
A creek on the coast of’Arabistan. It is formed by the island of Abbadan
on the west, and ’Ali Maidan on the east ; has soundings from 15 and 18
fathoms in the southern part to 2| at low water at the upper, where a narrow
channel runs into the Euphrates. This is an excellent mark, coming from
the eastward, for making the river. If you cross the ’All Maidan in 3 2
fathoms low water, you will cross Khur Khafgan in 8 or 9 fathoms, and ought
to keep down to the southward a little, as this is in the parallel of the Maiyu-
neh(?) If you cross the ’Ali Maidan in 4 or 4| fathoms, which is the best line,
you will cross Khur Khafgah in 13 to 15 or 16 fathoms, according to the time
of tide, and the toil of the ’Abbadan in 4 to 5 fathoms, when a course west,
if a flood tide, will bring you on the ’Abdullah bank, 2| or 3 fathoms low
