Piram, or Perim, an island in the Gulf of Cambay, forming part of Ahmadabad district, Bombay. Formerly notorious as the stronghold of a pirate chieftain, it has attained fame among palaeontologists for the large quantity of fossil remains discovered here in 1836, similar to the better-known Siwalik fauna.
