he was about to leave Tehran for London in November 1903, his orders
were changed and he was directed to return by way of Masqat, where a
commercial mission of the " Comite de 1 ; Asie Fran^aise ; had in the mean-'
while made a rather prolonged stay. Mr. Maclean submitted in all three
valuable reports. The first, dated 5th December 1903, from Tehran, consist
ed of a note on the new Persian customs tariff ; the second, completed at
Rasht on the 20th December 1903, dealt with the whole subject of British
trade in Persia ; the third, which related to 'Oman, Trucial 'Oman, Bahrain,
and Kuwait, and which embodied the result of the enquiries made by Mr.
Maclean after the extension of his tour, was submitted in London on
the 12th April 1904.
The second British commercial mission was sent from India under the ^ comen . g
auspicesof the Indian Government. It was supplementary to that of m i S8 i 0 n,
Mr. Maclean, and the particular field of its labours was South-Eastern
Persia, which lay outside the scope of Mr. Maclean's investigations, but
which was a region of special importance to Indian tiade.
The despatch of this Indian mission was originally suggested by Major
P. M. Sykes, His Britannic Majesty's Consul at Kirman, who himse
decided the routes to be followed, made all the arrangements in Persia, and
postponed taking leave which was due to him in order that the mission
might be rendered a success. The cost of the mission was underta en y
the Government of India and by the Chambers of Commeice o pp
India and Bengal. The Chambers of Commerce of Bombay and Karac i

active participation in the arrangements. As finally constituted the mis

Messrs. Luffman and Ryan. Mr. Newcomen, who besides having seven
years' practical experience of tea-planting was well verse
branches of Oriental trade, was formally recognised by the Government of
India on the 8th October 1904 as President of the mission and as repiesen-
tative of the Bengal and Upper India Chambers of Commerce and of he
Indian Tea Cess Committee. The arrangement as to expen itme was ia
the salaries of the delegates for a period of six months an ^ ie cos o
samples should be borne by the commercial bodies in whose interests th y
were sent, while the cost of the journey to and from Persia, the actual
travelling expenses in Persia, and the price of outfit, mclu mg en s,
furniture and horses, should be defrayed by the Govcinmcn
The mission sailed from Bombay on the 13th October 1904, and on the
