1905-1906.
General Remarks. —At tlie outset it may be observed that tbe district
now under report has not hitherto been noted upon separately from the usual
Annual Report of the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
Residency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India.
. It will therefore be advisable
to mention here that during the latter part of 1904 the status of the Assistant
Resident and His Britannic Majesty's Vice-Consul for Bunder Abbas was
raised to that of Consul and his jurisdiction extended to include the following
" Bunder Abbas, Shamilat, Lingah and Minab with the Shibkuh ports (as far
as Mugam on the west), all the islands belonging to Persia in the eastern part
of the
Persian Gulf

and the coast of Persia eastwards as far as Gwetter."
The extent of country is very considerable and can be thoroughly supervised
only by constant touring', facilities for which are at present rather difficult
of arrangement. At the same time during the period under report the
Director,

Telegraphs, remains ex-officio Political Officer for the
Mekran Coast and hitherto the Assistant Resident at Bunder Abbas has had
notliing to do with districts east of Micab, beyond the registration of British
subjects residing at the Telegraph Stations on that coast.
Rainfall and harvest have been fairly good, though forecasts of scarcity
were made and the opportunity taken to prohibit the export of cereals.
The year has been marked especially by the collection of information for

Gazetteer, the linking up of Bunder Abbas with the rest
of the world by telegraph and the establishment of a Russian Consulate at
the port.
Changes in Local authorities. —These unfortunately continue to be so
very frequent that the work of the Assistant Resident is greatly hampered by
long and frequent repetitions of the same cases or subjects to succeeding
officials all of whom being aware of the probable shortness of their stay
endeavour to evade doing anything definite throughout the time of their office.
The result is a large and over-growing number of pending matters, the ultimate
solution of which becomes more and more difficult and less and less likely with
each succeeding official.
Haji Mahomed Khan (a half-brother of His Excellency the Daria Begi)
was Deputy Governor up to the 10th May 1905, having been appointed to the
post just six months previously. He was replaced by Safar Ali Khan, who
was himself replaced again by the Daria Begi's half-brother, Haji Mahomed
Khan, on the 23rd December 1905 ; the latter has continued in office up to
date.
The Karguzari has continued in the hands of Mirza Abdullah, Midhat-
tQ-'Wazara, who has not distinguished himself by any more readiness to
assist this Consulate than that displayed during the past four years of his
tenure of the post.
The Director of Customs has throughout the period under report been
Monsieur A. Stas, a Belgian.
A change in the Deputy Governorship of Lingah took place early in
July 1905 as the result of the representations of this Consulate, when Haji
Talib Khan was exiled and replaced by Mirza Ismail Khan, a former Deputy
Governor of Bunder Abbas. He continued to hold office until he too was
replaced by Safar Ali Khan, mentioned above, on the 25th March 1906.
There is no Karguzari at Lingah.
The Director of Customs at Lingah throughout the year has been
Monsieur J. Bourgeois.
Shamilat has been under the rule of the Kalantar Assadullah Khan
except for a short interregnum of about two months during April and May
1805.
