sion of the
trade, 1902.
As shown by Annexure No. 1 at the end of this Appendix, the
growth of the arms trade in Trucial ^Oman corresponded at first with
its progress at Masqat, inasmuch as it attained its maximum in the years
1896-1898 ; but thereafter it showed symptoms of decline, due probably
to the glutting of the local market and to the absence of communications
with profitable markets in the interior. The chief depdt on the Trucia]
coast was, in the beginning, at ; Ajman ; but, later, the trade became
general and was carried on mostly at Dibai. In September 1902, 100
Martini-Henry rifles were imported at Sharjah, 120 at Dibai and 80
at Abu Dhabi ; and in the next month 100 were landed at Ras-al-
Khaimah and 200 at Dibai.
In 1902 the traffic, of which the Trucial Shaikhs had become some
what apprehensive for personal reasons, was brought to an end by a joint
Agreement concluded between the Shaikhs and the British Resident,
Colonel C. A. Kemball, on the 24th, 25th and 26th of November 1902
and by a Notification which the Shaikhs at the same time issued, forbid
ding the importation of arms and ammunition into their respective terri
tories, as also exportation from the same. The intelligent chief of Dibai
led the way in the matter. The text of the Trucial Shaikhs' Agree
ment and Notification forms Annexure No. 2 to the present Appendix.

The peculiar political situation of Qatar, one of the principal
entrances by which arms and ammunition reach Southern Najd, was
an insuperable obstacle to the institution of preventive measures in
that promontory ; but in Bahrain, adjoining it, a satisfactory arrange
ment followed close on the seizure of Messrs. Fracis, Times & Co/s
arms.
During his visit to Bahrain, in February 1898, Colonel Meade had
been able to persuade the Shaikh of the necessity for action ; and, on the
30th of April following, the Shaikh signed an Agreement with Britain and
issued a Proclamation and Notification whereby importation and export
ation of arms were rendered unlawful in Bahrain and made punishable by
