C hapter IL—POLITICAL REPORT POR HIS BEITANNIC MAJESTY'S
VICE-CONSULATE, ARABISTAN, 1904-1905.
P aet I.—PRELIMINARY.
1. The districts Which fall within the charge of the Vice-Consul at Ahwaz
are :—Arahistan, Pusht-i-Kuh, and Lnristan. To these may be added the
Bakhtiari country, as though official communication with the Bakbtiari
Chiefs usually passes through the medium of tbe Consal-General at Ispahan,
it is still the declared desire of the Indian Government that relations with the
Chiefs should be maintained by the Vice-Consul for Arabistan.
2. The geographical limits of the charge above indicated may be given as
follows:—On the south, the coast line westwards from Hindiyan, and its
prolongation in the left bank of the Shatt-el-Arab as far as the Turko-Persian
border, a little above Eailiya. On the west, the Turko-Persian border,
forming the western boundary of the district of Hawiza and. northern Arabis
tan, till the latter gives place to Pusht^i-Kuh. Thus from a a indefinite point
to the west of the Kerkha the line bears off to the west, striking Badara, i.
Here it turns again northwards including Deh Bala, the Wali's summer
quarters. About here the Turko-Persian border is quitted, and the Vice-
Consular boundary, marching with that of the Kermanshah Consulate,
may be taken as striking slightly to the N. of E. across Luristan so, as to
include Hulilan, and Tarhon, the bead-quarters of the Dilfan Chiefs. Prom
thence it proceeds to Burujird, including on the way the Lur Yailaqs (summer
pasture grounds) of KhaWa and Aliashter. Prom Burujird a line drawn to
Khonsar and on to Ispahan will include the Lurs of the Silakhor Valley, and
the bulk of the northern Bakhtiaris, but will exclude on the north the
province of Malaiyar Which falls within the sphere of the Consul at Kerman
shah. Prom Ispahan the boundary again strikes roughly southwards towards
the plains of Arabistan, following the eastern border of the Bakhtiaris.
Reaching Arabistan it would pick up the eastern border of that province, and
pursuing it reach its starting point at Hindiyan.
3. The limits above described may be regarded as representing the
extreme area over which it is expected that the Vice-Consul should extend
bis tours, and which, as far as possible, his topographical and political reports
should cover. Prom the point of view of Consular responsibility or interven
tion, under ordinary circumstances, the following qualifications would have to
be made.
All affairs concerning Mohammerah and its immediate vicinity would
ordinarily be dealt with by His Britannic Majesty's Consul at Mohammerah.
It might also be accepted that the sphere of his action would, include Palla-
hiya and the Lower Karun. A point however which to some extent would
determine the course of official, reference, would be the place at which the
Sheikh of Mohammerah was for the moment residing, i.e^ whether at Pailiya,
or at^Muzaffariya or Nasiri. At the latter places he would be more readily
approached by the Ahwaz Vice-Consul, granted his presence at head-quarters.
4. Again in Pusht-i-Kuh and Luristan a hard and fast line cannot be
laid down dividing the jurisdiction of the Kermanshah Consulate from that of
the Ahwaz Vice-Consulate, and the advantage of according to the officials at
those posts some lattituae for the invasion of each others spheres does not
require to be dwelt on. But the tribes and the country to the east of the
Kashgan River would not under normal circumstances make any claim on the
attention of the Kermanshah Consul. Khurremabad and Burujird also, as
seats of the Luristan Governorship, fall definitely within the charge of the
Arabistau Vice^Consulate.
5. Passing on, Ispahan has of course no concern for this Vice-Consulate,
But the Bakhtiari Chiefs and the Abwaz-Ispahan road, while directly handled
