O. I can only repeat that Sir Trencharcl Fovrle was
I ally aware of the fact that Bahrain had. erected their
national marks on all islands or islets to which they
laid claim in the winter of 1^37-38. It is true that
my Express letter Bo# C/679 of the 5th November 1938
was written in the course of correspondence x*egarding
a dispute between Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, but the
first sentence of paragraph S thereof does not restrict
the reference to erection of national marks by the Bahrain
Government to islands lying between Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.
The reference in the same sentence to the original proposal
to divide the Unallotted Area between the two Oil Companies
(i.e. Bahrain Petroleum Company and Petroleum Concessions
Limited) serves further to indicate that the erection of
national marks had been made on all sides of the Island
and not merely on the west.
4. It occurs to me that the reference in paragraph 4
of my Express letter No. C/S36 dated the 86th March 1940
to "several small islets in these waters outside the three
mile limit from the Qatar shore" may have led you to believe
that I was referring to islands or islets contiguous to the
three mile limit from Qatar. This is not the case, and the
reference to the three mile limit was only inserted to dis
tinguish these islets from those of the Hairar Group of which
many are within three miles of r the main Qatar coast.
