2. The Military Branch of the Admiralty point out
that in Admiralty publications and charts local names
are usually inserted as well as the English ones.
They would therefore be glad if you could Insert the
correct "local" names against the features shown on
the enclosed chfrt of the Abu Saafa area (No.3788).
Will you also please say whether the correct name is
Abu Saafa, as this is at present given as "Fasht Bu
Saafa" in Admiralty publications?
3. They also notice that two variations in the
spelling of the Arabic names appear in your letters,
namely:
(1) The local name of Retlawenna is given as
Ghraybah in one letter and Ghariba in the
other.
(ii) The local name Naiwat Ar'Ragale is also
spelt Nauwat Ar'Ragale in the letter of
20th May.
Please let me know which of these are correct.
Youri sincerely,
C.D. Belgrave, Esq., C.B.E.,
Adviser to the Government of Bahrain,
Bahrain.
