the question of the legality of the Persian occupation if the Persian Govern,
ment should afford an opportunity by questioning the status of Abu Musa aad
Tamb.
Major Cox reported that Eis Majesty's Goyernment had never in anyway
admitted, or withdrawn their original objections to the claim of the Shah'g
Government to the ownership of the island; while it was equally clear from
the records of the Eesidency that the Jowasmi Arab Sheikhs of the Pirate
Coast had never voluntarily dropped their claim to proprietary rights over
Sirri any more than over Abu Musa and Tamb. As late as 1895 the said
Sheikhs had declared that, although the Chief of Shargah on their behalf had
duly represented to the British Government that the ownership of the island
was vested in him, as Chief of the Jowasmis, the British Government had
refrained from moving in the matter, and that they themselves had conse
quently been unable to enforce their rights by their own unaided efforts.
A full precis of the correspondence relating to the occupation of Sirri is
contained in a letter, dated Bushire, the 19th August, 1888, from Colonel Ross
to His Majesty's Minister at Tehran {vide Government of India, Proceedings
September 1888, No. 104).
Sir Arthur Hardinge, in commenting on the correspondence between
Major Cox and the Government of India, deprecated raising the case of Sirri,
unless the Persian Government forced the question upon His Majesty's Govern
ment, since the latter were face to face with an occupation in which they had
acquiesced for very many years, though they had not formally recogaized it.
He added that M. Naus had consented to strike out Sirri from the lis
Customs ports enumerated in the 4< E6glement Douanier "

- Arrangement
An index at the front of the file gives subjects covered by the file.
- Physical characteristics
This volume has three foliation sequences. The first begins with the first letter and runs from number 1 through to number 55. There follows a gap of one folio, and then a second foliation sequence starts on the verso The back of a sheet of paper or leaf, often abbreviated to 'v'. side of what would have been number 56 in the first foliation sequence. This sequence is inconsistent in that it is paginated from number 56 up to number 109, where it then lapses back into foliation and runs through to number 332, the last typescript folio. The third and most recent foliation sequence begins on the first typescript folio, which is loose. It runs from number 1 through to number 281, which is the inside of the back cover. It should be noted that folio 60 in this sequence is followed by folio 60 A, which is then followed by number 61. The first foliation sequence is written in blue and red crayon, in the top right corner of each folio. The second foliation sequence (which contains some pagination) is written in pencil, in the top right corner of each folio (and in the top left corner of the verso The back of a sheet of paper or leaf, often abbreviated to 'v'. side of those folios that are paginated). The third foliation sequence, which should be used for cataloguing, is written and circled in pencil, in the top right corner of each folio.
