Hari-Rud, or HERI-RUD, a river of Asia, which rises in the Hindu Kush about 150 miles W. from Kabul, pursues a western course through Afghanistan for nearly 250 miles; then, bending suddenly to the northward, it forms the boundary between Persia and Turkestan, and, after a further course of about 250 miles, loses itself in several arms in the Tekke Turkoman oasis.
