arbitrator between Persia and Afghanistan in respect of an
adjacent disputed boundary in Sistan, was nominated Britisli
Commissioner for the determination of the Perso-Kalat frontier. In
July the Persian Government showed signs of a desire to depart
from the original arrangement, remarking that " the British and
Persian Commissioners were to proceed and draw up a map of Persia's
possessions and those of the Khan of Kalat in Baluchistan with their
boundaries, and bring the same with them to Tehran; 3) and though
Mr. Alison, the British Minister, immediately pointed out that this
Would involve the substitution of mere preliminaries for a final
settlement, the Persian Government insisted that " the meaning of
the Shah in respect to the demarcation of the frontier" had been "that
the Anglo-Persian Commissioners should prepare a map on the spot

the settlement of which, it may be observed, they thought that they
had more to gain than by the delimitation of the Perso-Kalat frontier ;
