allowed to return to Kerman province. As he is known to be in close toucli
with the Demrcrats here and would undoubtedly be used by them as a rally-
ing point if he returned, His Majesty's Consul deprecated the proposal.
Jiruft —For the first two months of the year J iruft was misgoverned by
Prince Nusrat-us-Sultaneh's nominee Muhammad Taki Khan Bakhtiari, whose
reckless exactions reducrd the district to a state of anarcny. At the end of
February Yar Muhammad Khan and Jallal Khan, sons of

Khan
Bameri, raided the length and breadth of the district with a large lashkar of
400 Bameris and Sabikis. Muhtashim-ul-Mulk, bardar Nusrat's nephew and
agent in the district, called in the help of Zargham-us-Sultaneh, Deputy
(Governor of Eudbar, who attacked the Bameri chiefs at the end of the Jaz

Nusrat's son, made Governor.
jludbar —Mir Barkat of Biabanand Muhammad Khan appeared in Basha-
kard with a lashkar early in February their avowed object being to prosecute
a blood feud against the heirs of Islam Khan. Their real inteotion
was merely to loot lludbar. With the help of Muhtashim-ul-Mulk the
Zargham drove the invaders back. There appears to be a kind of reciprocity
between Muhtashim-ul-Mulk and the Eudbar Governor.
Jamal Barez. —Jamal Barez suffered from the depredations of Sanjar and
Pushtgudari raiders in the spring, and also from the activities of the energetic
and unpopular Eevenue Agent Muayid-ul-Mamalik. Ba^ts at Bam against
this official had little effect, but in September the Kavkanis revolted and called
in their iSamdadi neighbours, thereby succeeding in restricting the Eevenue
Agent's operations for a w r hile.
Persian Baluchistan. —The reports regarding Perso-Baluch affairs T\hicli
reach Kerman under present conditions are both irregular and inaccurate.
It had been evident however that in the year under report the position of
Bahrain Khan of Bampur has been stronger than in 1917. Since the death
of Islam Khan in autumn 1917 he has continued in undisturbed possession of
the Bampur Khalisajat (Crown lands), also those of Daman and Abtar. Bint,

Bam and Narmmhir. —In January Narmashir which had been quj^

since the Persian Government virtually abandoned Baluchistan in 1907-0»j
the Narmashir-Baluchistan marches had been policed by a nominal force o
100 Levy (Jambaz) sowars kept up by the Bam Governor ; the pay of this force
used to be divided among certain petty Baluch chiefs of the border. The Persian
Government now suddenly abolished this arrangement, nor were the protests o
