HULEILAN—
Buluk or District of Huleilan—-
A tract of country, 35 to 40 miles south of Ketmanshab ; bounded on the
east by the Pisb-Kuh Lnristan, north by the small district of Harasam
and west by Bijawand ? It is und^r the Governorship of Ali Heza Khan
Mirpanj, son of the Yali of Pusht-i-Kuh. It is inhabited by Lur tribes,
known under the general designation of Huleilanis, and divided as follows:—
Dajivand, 300 families; Balavands, 300 families; Surkhameri, 200 families;
under the authority of Ali Reza Khan, son of Hussein Guli Khan Sarhang.
Although the district is part of the provinces of Kermanshah, the tribes and
land belong to the Vali of Pusht-i-Kuh.
The Osmanavand and Jelalavand, the former having their yeilaks in
Mahidasht and under the authority of Zahir-ul-mulk Zengeneh, to whose
regiment they supply a contingent; the latter furnishing a contingent to
the Kerind Regiment, and have their Keshlaks in Huleilan.
The Chupankeras of various tribes, to whom the Kermanshah villagers
give the keeping of their ca tie for the cold season, come here for the winter
and rent pasture laud from the Huleilan tribesmen.
The asl of the malyat, paid by the Huleilanis, is Krs. 26,219-800 dinars
cash.
In Huleilan are important ruins, but consisting simply of tumuli. Mr,
De Morgan believes this to be the ancient Bit-Bounaki, and Eiwan to be
Naditu.
Amongst numerous Sassanian ruins Mr. De Morgan mentions Zeish and
Kalleh Sam as worthy of mention, but I do not know if they are really in
Huleilau or in Luristan.
“ The road to Huleilan leaves Kermanshah by Sarah and the Domb-i-
Shemsheh route ; goes to Sarvbenow, which is 3 farsakhs from town;
crosses the Ab-i-Merek and passes the villages of Daramrud and
Karaouaneh and the gaduk of Khalilan, 2| farsakhs from Sarvbenow. This
pass is rather difficult. The road then enters the Tang-i-Jaffar Khan, which
is in the territory of the Osmanavands. From Tang-i-Jaffar Khan the
road goes to Tang i-San Rustam, which is two farsakhs in length and
through jungle, forest and water-courses ; and then to the river Jizman
which separates the Osmanavands from the Jelalavands. From the terri
tory of the Osmanavands the road goes to Tang-i-Tash-Kabud in Kurdish,
Tashko, past which, one enters the district of Huleilan and Zardalan ; and
two faisakhs further on cne reaches Kalleh Kahereh, the emplacement of
