or AMUL, a city of Persia, in the province of Masenderan, on the Heras, about 12 miles above its entrance into the Caspian, and over which there is a bridge of 12 arches. The population in winter is about 40,000, but a great number of these are shepherds, who leave the city in summer to tend their flocks. Here is a magnificent mausoleum erected by Shah Abbas to a former sovereign; and in its vicinity are many mounds and Persian remains.
