out of pocket expenses and haTe a right to copies of the maps
produced. If so, one man should leave Bombay "by slow mail on
14-10-25 arriving at Maskat 20-10-25. The other man should
arrive in Bombay during the 1st week in January - details
can "be fixed up later.
A telegraphac reply on this subject would be greatly
appreciated by me - addressed to *AB&LOFBHS M0HA13ISRAH*.
Apart from these proposals may I ask you to be so
good as to send me on payment 3 copies of any available maps
of Oman, in particular Fraser Hunters map, and if possible
enlargements on heavy paper to be used for plane tabling.
The scale of survey will be 1 inch « 4 Bailee ? and a one inch
survey of Maskat and Matra and neighbourhood and any other
material you may have unpublished: we have, of course, the
degree sheet covering Masandam, and the 1 million and 1/2
million sheets so far as puK Ushed.
I take this opportunity to say that if the Survey of
India could see their way to complete the 1 million series
of India and Adjacent Countries by adding thereto sheet 3,
4 and 11 it would make the series of much greater general
use as wall maps etc., and series of standard sheets covering
Oman is much needed - e.g. the Southeastern Arabia sheet of
the Southern Asia series.
