by the Oonsul -General at Ispahan, have been expressly commended to the
attention of this Vice-Consulate.
Bebahan might perhaps not be considered excluded from the possibility
of Vice- Consular visitations ; and the liberty of the Vice-Consul to extend his
journeys beyond Khurremabad to Kermanshah, for the express purpose, should
it be necessary, of consulting with the Consul at the latter place, is assumed.

II.—ADMINISTRATIVE DIVISIONS.
6. The administrative divisions of the territory, of which the geographical
boundaries have been given above, are as follows
AraMstan. —Comprising two sections, Northern and Southern Arabistan.
Southern Arabistan on the north includes Shakha, and the boundary
runs westwards just excluding Alwaniya, and strikes the Gargar at A1 Haddam
6^ miles above Band-i-Kir. It leaves the r.b. of the Gargar at Khar Eawaishid
5^ miles above the same place, which is thus included in this province,
further to the west it follows the north and west boundaries of the
Anafija crossing the Diz, and continuing concurrently with the external
boundaries of the Hawiza District.
Southern Arabistan is under the administration of the Sheikh of Moham-
merah, Sheikh Khaz'al, Sardar Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division. Arf'a, M'uizz-us-Saltana. He is represented by
agents at the following places
&bdi, an (Arab.
Sheikh Hanzal, his nephew.
MulW Abbulla Ch'aab.
Sheikh Rizaij Ch'aab.
Siliya, Arab.
Mulla Abus Saiyid, Al bu
Kurd.
Hawiza, which he administers for the Persian Govern- Maula Abid All, descendant
men t. of the house of the Walls
of Hawiza.
These agents have very limited powers of initiative, acting almost
entirely on orders received from the Sardar Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division. Arf'a. Everywhere the tribes are
ultimately dealt with through their own chiefs.
7. Northern Arabistan. —This province is administered by a Persian
Governor appointed from Tehran. Its sub-divisions are:—the Shmhter
District, including the town of that name, most of the Miyanab, the 'Aqili
District on the left bank of the Karun, lb Bid, Pawinda, and Daimcha
lying towards Dizful. It may also perhaps be considered as taking in the
section of the Bait Saad Arabs on the Diz under the sway of Sheikh Farhan Asad.
The Anafija on the r.b. of the Shatait and on the lower Diz are subject
to the Sheikh of Mohammerah.
Dizful District, including the town of that name, and Konak, and the
country stretching from there to the Diz Eiver : the country on the West of
the Diz including Salihabad, and running as far West as the Karkha, and on
the South including Shush and the Arabs of the vicinity principally the Al
Kathir of Sheikh Haider. Nominally the administrative area extends to the
Turko-Persian Border, but the intervening country is occupied by portions
of the Bani Lam and Bani Turuf, who are for all practicable purposes
independent.
Bdmuz District, including Mir Bacha on the West and Kal'a Sh^kh on
the South, and marching with Bebahan on the East, is administered for the
Persian Government by the Bakhtiari chiefs,
8. Pusht-i-Kuh is the kingdom of the Wali, Ghulam Eiza
Khan, Sarum-us-Siltana, Sardar Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division. Asharaf.
Its East and North-East boundaries may be said to be the Karkha Hiver,
its South and West North Arabistan and the Turko-Persian Border. I am
unable to state the exact situation of the line separating Pusht-i-Kuh from
the Governorship of Kermanshah.
