after the departure of the steamer in which they arrived. A number
of new posts, as will be seen from the tables at the end of this Appen

was set up at Laz on the island of Shaikh Shu^aib, on which a provi

required, but the real causes of their abolition were probably the com

Governor-General of Ears, continued to derive large profits from illicit
dues upon the Bushehr-Shiraz road. Other miscellaneous imposts
prohibited by the Reglement were yet being collected, among them a tax
called Bar, which was levied on goods from Bushehr landed at Shif, and
