£1,038,320 and the latter £400,750.
The imports from India totalled £588,879 and consisted chiefly of cotton

to £220,137 the principal articles comprising almonds, pistachio nuts, dried
fruits, dates and raw cotton.
Lingah. —The decline in trade is more marked in this district, the high
Customs tariff and heavy taxes having driven trade to Dubai and Bahrein
on the opposite Coast.
The imports for 1926-1927 are shown as £140,885 and the exports as
£66,370, totalling £207,255 as against £308,100 for 1925-1926, representing a

A severe epidemic of cholera, probably imported from the Basrah area,
occurred in August at Minab which was crowded with people from the oxr ■?
lying districts and Islands, for the date harvest. A panic ensued and the
terror stricken inhabitants scattered in all directions, carrving the disease
with them.
Unfortunately it was the hottest time of the year, and owing to a plentiful
supply of water, the epidemic spread rapidly to the surrounding villt ges
till it reached the suburbs of Bandar Abbas.
