1879-80 there were disturbances at Dilam due to the supersession of
Khan Mi, the Zabit or tribal ruler recognised by the Persian Government,
in favour of Abdullah Khan ; a new nominee. In December 1892
Ja 'far Khan, then Zabit of Dilam, was declared by the Persian authorities
to be evading payment of revenue, and a detachment of 30 soldiers was
sent to arrest him; but the people of the place rose in arms in defence of
their chief, and the detachment was defeated. Later, however, Ja ; far
Khan was removed and the Zabit of Bishehr installed in his place.
In 1878-79 there was trouble at Rig, consequent on the replacement History of

Dashtistan, to which he had been appointed in 1887, he was succeeded
by Sartip Muhammad Hasan Khan; the district was at the time
distracted, except the town of Burazjan and its dependencies, by feuds
between local chiefs. In 1895 an attempt was made by the Persian
