(3) The affairs of the Bakhtiaris.
(4) The taking over of the Borasjun-Ahwaz telegraph line by the
Indo-European Telegraphs.
In regard to the operations of the Oil Syndicate, it may be noted that as
a result of the Indian guard being sent to Maidan Manaftun, and the with-
1° o e t 0 kb® Khans, no trouble has occurred this year between
the Oil Syndicate's representatives and the latter. . Captain Lorimer calls
a ttention to the excellent work done by the two officers (Lieutenants Ranking
and Wilson) who came with the guard. Lieutenant Ranking was placed on
special duty as Assistant to Captain Lorimer and accompanied him on tour
to Ispahan, Kermanshah and Pusht-i-Kuh. Lieutenant Wilson in the
meanwhile made excellent use of his opportunities while in charge of his
guard to make surveys of the Bakhtiari lowlands, part of the Kuhgalu
country, and a good deal of the coast. The information which Lieutenant
Wilson has collected will be most useful to the Survey of India and to the
Intelligence Branch, end his zeal is most commendable.
• tt " ^ fter leavin g Ispahan, Captain Lorimer made a valuable tour toTusht-
i-Kuh regarding which a special report has been submitted.
Captain Lorimer gives some particulars about foreign enterprise in
Arabistan.
It is undoubtedly advisable that the Imperial Bank of Persia should
estabhsh itself in Arabistan without delay. It is difficult to say definitely

The year opened with the so-called Constitutional regime, which in
Bunder Abbas was represented by a local council of busy-bodies who would

0 this Anjuman-i-Jamid " in July after the Shah's coup ftetat was
received with unmixed pleasure by the respectable inhabitants of the town.
Lieutenant Gabriel went on 3J months' privilege leave in May and
shortly after his return was invalided to India. Captain W. H. I. Shakespear
returned to Bunder Abbas on the 25th November and was in charge till the
end of the year.
Kerman affairs do not call for much comment. The province was in Kerman.
a state of anarchy at the beginning of the year, but after the Shah's coup
y a semblance of or(ier was restored by Sahib Ikhtiyar who was
named Governor. The Nationalist party do not appear to have made much
nead.-way in Kerman.
The Bunder Abbas-Kerman caravan routes have been chronically impas
