Dualit is marked by a long line drawn through the Drabol Hill, situated between the
rivers Baho and Dusht, to the sea in the Bay of Gwuttur.
To summarise, Punjgur and Parum and other dependencies, withKohukj Boleida,
including Zamiran and other dependencies; Mund, including Toomp, Naseerakd,
Kedj, and all districts, dehs, and dependencies to the eastward; Duslit with its
dependencies as far as the sea,—these names exhibit the line of actual possessionof
Khelat, that is to say, all tracts to the east of the frontier of actual Persian possession,
which frontier comprises Dizzak and Bumpusht, Sirbaz and Peshin, Baho and Dust-
yaree.
The acceptance by the Shah of General Goldsmid 3 s proposed line was
qualified by a reservation^ or at least a representation, in regard to
Kohak, which the Shah was very desirous should be included in Persia,
General Goldsmid seems to have found no trace of either Persian or
Kalat supremacy over Kohak^ and would apparently, if left to himself,
have classed it as neutral and independent; but he was bound by the
clear instructions of the Government of India, which bore that if the
Persian Government can establish no claim to take their boundary
to the east of Kohak, the line should be drawn to the west/' The
British Commissioner accordingly threw the burden of proof on Persia,
and, no evidence having been produced on her behalf, assigned Kohak
to Kalat, London was chosen by the Persian Government as the best
place for further discussion of the Kohak question, apparently from
an idea that the Government of India were more adverse to concessions to
Persia than Her Majesty's Government,—an idea which thus found
expression in a memorandum presented by the Persian Minister in
England.
Votre Excellence me permettra de ne pas lui dissimuler que dans plus d'une circons-
tance le Gouvernement de Sa Majeste Imperiale a rencontre en certains points do la part
du Gouvernement des Indes une inflexibility qui semblait peu dictee du de'sir d'etre
agreable a un Gouvernement ami, et qui aurait pu ledecourager dang I'oeuvrequ^ 1181

The matter was referred in England to Sir H. Rawlinson,
formerly British Minister in Persia, who considered the question of
Kohak intricsically unimportant and thought that " it would be. • 1 '
to our advantage, if, without violating justice or giving 1 real offence t
the Khan of Khelat, we could confer an obligation upon tbe Sbah 0^
Persia by modifying the Mekran frontier arrangement in his favour.
Eventually, to meet His Majesty's wishes, the line forming the western
boundary of Kalat was drawn to the east of Kohak; but no opinion was
expressed <c as to the position of the Persian, frontier ^ that 011
