MUHAMMAD SHAH, 1834.-1848*
it %
Usalf fi j) m [ n g the reign of Muhammad Shah over Persia, the principal
^ ^ events of which are related in the chapter on the history of the Persian
Coast and Islands, a part of the province of ; Arabistan—including
^of 18| Muhammareh—was at first in dispute between Persia and Turkey, but
was in the end awarded to Persia. In the internal history of 'Ar-.bistan
^ the most remarkable features of the period were an obstinate contest for
^ superiority between the Shaikh of the Ka'ab at Fallahiyeh and his erst-
' as > 0 ^t w ^Q e vassal, the Shaikh of the Muhaisin at Muhammareh, and the exten
sion by the Persian Central Government of their own authority, in a
c • more or less effective form, to the very banks of the Shatt-al-'Arab.
t umki
the aW The conflict over the possession of Muhammareh, not only between
urposesii Persia and Turkey but also between the Shaikh of the Ka'ab and the
3 the I Shaikh of the Muhaisin, renders the political history of the province at this
)ved tyt time so confused that it will be better to depart here to some extent from our
h accori usu al division of the subject, and to treat of events chronologically in so
sent en f ar as Persian and Turkish interests are concerned. British and other foreign
jpellbg 1 ^terests, however, will be separated as elsewhere from other matters and
^ a ^ eS| disposed of in one place for the whole period.
At the beginning of Muhammad Shah^s reign ; Arabistan consisted Administra-
of three administrative districts ; that of Dizful and Shushtar, which was
, j 1834.
.. * For nearly all questions connected with the history of 'ArabisUn during this
period Layard is the chief authority, principally in his Early Adventures in Persia,
Susiana and Babylonia, 1887, hut also in his Description of the Province of
(Journal of the Eoyal Geographical Society), Vol. XVI, 1846, pages 1 to
he histo ^l a j or Rawlinson's Memorandum on the Dispute between Turkey and Persta
t at l| re 9 ar ^ n y Mohamerah and the Political Position of Chaah Tribe, 1844, contains
, valuable information regarding the subjects indicated by the title; and Observations
^ ov. a Persian Memorandum, 1844, also by Rawlinson, throwing some light on tha
BagW capture of Muhammereh by the Turks in 1837, will be found appended to Mr. Alwyn
of M Parker's Memorandum respecting the Frontier betiveen Mohammerah and Turkey,
o printed for the use of the Foreign Office in April 1912. Matters of river navigation
,i rjijj dealt with by Layard; but the professional authority under this head is Selby,

istratioi Q ar g ar Cana i to Shuster will be found in the Journal of the Royal Geographical
Society, Vol. XIV, 1844, pages 219 to 246. Lieutenant C. R. Low's History of the Indian
