Dar-i-Divan in my map is the same as Dari Deydaban of Colonel Shell’s map.
Darband-i-Asgilla in my map is the same as Daraandi Denool of Colonel Shell’s
map.
Tang-i-Hammam in my map is the same as Tengi Hamman of Colonel Shell’s map.
Qala Charmi in my map is the same as Kalaa Sefid of Colonel Shell’s map.
Haosh Kuri in my map is the same as Haush Kerek (old name) of Colonel Shell’s
map.
Qarawiz in my map is the same as Karaiz in Colonel Shed’s map.
Sarqala in my map is the same as Ser Kalaa in Colonel Shed’s map.
Suradiza (modern) in my map is the same as Meyan langai (old name) of Colonel
Shed’s map.
Pai Taq in my map is the same as Meyan Tak (error) of Colonel Shed’s map.
My small sketch-map includes a small portion only of Colonel Shed’s map; I have
therefore marked on the copies of that map the limits of my own.
You will by now have before you my large map, which should be seen side by side
with the commissioners’ survey, as I have purposely included as many common features
as possible. Unfortunately Colonel Shed’s map disagrees considerably from the survey
map, which is very exact, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to place the green, red,
and blue lines upon it or my large map.
1 have marked upon the copies of my small map of Chia Surkh and Kasr-i-Shirin
the lines corresponding to those upon Colonel Shed’s map.
I did not quite gather from your letter whether you desired each of my maps
to bear one or all three lines. I have therefore marked one copy ( 1 ) the Mediating
Commissioners’ line, one copy ( 2 ) the Turkish delegate’s line, one copy ( 3 ) the Persian
delegate’s line, in so far as the map includes them.
If necessary these can easily be reproduced on the other copies.
Note .—The names Bezinan, Beshikan, Assengueran, are confused by the local
Kurds themselves. The name Assengueran (Persian Ahangaran) is that of the system,
the others being those of portions.
I have, &c.

Also discussed in the volume is the region of Kermanshah and in particular Qasr-i-Shirin [Qaşr-e Shīrīn], along with the Anglo-Persian Oil Company's concerns over the rights accorded to them in their 1901 concession should some of that territory be ceded to Turkey.
Further discussion relates to the movements of Russian and Turkish troops near the frontier and the withdrawal of Turkish troops from certain places along the frontier.
