all Sunnis, comprising Dawasir (800 houses), 'Amamarah (100 houses), Huwaiah
houses), free negroes (200 houses) and a large number of negro slaves (perhaps 4*0
houses). The total population is estimated at 8,000 souls. The Budaiya' and Da™
quarters are mostly Dawasir; their water supply is from wells in the date plantations
of Diraz and Bani the Jamrah villages ; that of the quarter of the 'Amamarah is from a
well a little to the east of their houses. Most of the people are engaged in the pearl
fisheries. Over 100 boats, some of considerable size, are owned here ; they are 11 Bat'l

by the Shaikh of the Dawasir without any interference from the Shaikh of Bahrain.
