THE YEAR 1914.
Maior D L. R. Lorimer, I.A., held charge of His Britannic Majesty's
J Consulate up to the 25th November, on
Britisli Consulate. which date he made over charge at
Bandar Abbas to Lieutenant- Colonel C. T. Ducat, LA., who arrived in Kerman
on the 21st December. .

in last year's report, was acceded to and Lieutenant Fowle, I.A., a probationer
for the Political Department, was appointed tentatively for six months, and
arrived in Kerman on 6th June. Unfortunately at the end of uhe six months
the Government of India refused to renew the appointment and Lieutenant
Fowle was ordered to return to India. He left early in the new year.

occupied his post throughout the year. _ .
The Medical charge of the Consulate remained in the hands of Assistan
Surgeon E. Gr. Steinhoff, Medical Officer to the Indo-European Telegraph
Department. j *
This report is obviously and necessarily written from the records ot t e
office and not from personal knowledge. The character of the work during
the vear was much the same apparently as last year and certainly was not
in 111 cases entirely pleasant. It was, however, pretty normal the Consulate
being as ever the buffer between colliding factions or the button to make
the bell ring in distant Tehran.
The Persian Officers holding the major appointments during the year
were—
