signatories to the Treaty, viz., Bahrain, Ahu Bhahi,
Dihai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm-al-Qaiwain and Ras-al-
Khaimah. in practice it is now, and has for many
years 'been, flown only hy the Rulers of Sharjah and
Ras-al-Khaimah, and is now regarded exclusively as
the tribal flag of the Jowasimi family.
4. 1 see no objection to this. Admiralty proposal
provided their s econd point, with which I am about

according to my recommendation.
5. This proposal is that an oblong flag, the
length being approximately three times the breadth,
about five-sixths of the flag being red and the
remaining sixth ithat nearest the mast} white, should
be included in "JTlags of All Nations 6 7 * * * 11 under the title
of "Trucial Coast Rlag No. 1 (Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Debai,
Qatar and limm-al-Qaiwain}.The Admiralty say that
this flag is flown by all the Trucial Sheikhs other
than Sharjah and Ras-al-Khaimah.
6. This flag is in fact flown only by the Rulers
of Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Debai and limm-al-Qaiwain. It
is not flown by Qatar which has its own separate flag,

7. These four Rulers should strictly speaking fly
the Treaty Hag, but they have not done so for many
years, and could hardly be induced to do so now, as
the Treaty Hag has come to be regarded as the tribal
flag of the Jowasimi family, as explained in paragraph
3 above. ISee correspondence ending with my prede
