AFGHANISTAN—NO. XXI—1905.
12. Two maps accompany this statement. One, in two sheets, is on a scale
of 1 inch=4 miles and illustrates the whole boundary from Malik Siah Koh to
Siah Koh. The other is on a scale of 1 inch=l mile, and illustrates the boundary
between the point of separation of the Rud-i-Pariun and Nad Ali channels of the
Helmund and Tappa-i-Tilai only.
It should be noticed that the number of names of villages has been restricted
as much as possible in these maps. This is due to the fact that most of the villages
in Seistan frequently change not only their names but also their positions. En
deavour has been made to show only such villages as are likely to be permanent.
These maps should be considered as superseding those issued with my award
of November 1903.
13. Attached to this statement is a list, already referred to, of all the boundary
pillars, giving all necessary particulars of their position, size, construction, etc.
14. All measurements such as inches, feet, yards and miles in this statement
and the accompanying list of boundary pillars, are English inches, feet, yards,
and miles.
