tyitli a view to obtaining information on the subject from India.
Arrangements are now being made for the engagement of an expert from
India and the formation of a small company, with a capital of Rials 120,000
(about £1,500) whose headquarters will be at Bam, the biggest town in the chief
indigo producing district of the province.
The question of the establishment of an agricultural farm in Kerman is still
under consideration and the Governor-General, has again sent a proposal to
Tehran on this subject.
Locusts .—According to information received in June, swarms of young
locusts were seen in the vicinity of Sirjan, some 150 miles to the south east of
Kerman, at the latter part of May, but no information could be obtained as to
when and where they have been hatched.
Steps were taken by the local authorities and land-owners to destroy the
insects before they could fly and a large number were thus destroyed.
The information reached this Consulate a little too late and steps taken to
procure samples of the insects proved of no avail, nor could any reliable details
be obtained regarding the species, as the locusts had completely disappeared
by the middle of June, without causing any serious damage to the crops.
The direction eventually taken by these locusts was variably stated as north
and north-west.
The above was the only incident brought to notice regarding visitation ot
locusts in the Kerman province.
Murtaza Mirza Qahramani, Chief Census Officer for Kerman and Persian
Baluchistan, returned from Iranshahr at the end of January and proceeded to
... Tehran in the beginning of February.

establishment of Census Offices in Persian Baluchistan, and returned in the
middle of April. One office was opened at Khwash and other one at Sarawan
during the year.
Acting upon instructions from Tehran, men from the local Census Depart
ment started visiting the houses in Kerman in February, with a view to detect
ing personss who had so far failed to obtain identity papers. The cotal number
of identity papers issued to the inhabitants of Kerman city and envlions up to
date is said to be just over 45,000.
At the end of October the Census Officer left for Bandar Abbas cn route to
Charbar, to establish an office at the latter place, and returned to
Kerman in the beginning of February 19o5.
The majority of the inhabitants of Charbar were forced to obtain identity
papers, including a number of British subjects, some of whom were m possession
of British passports, while others had applied for renunciation* oi ersian
Nationality. This gave rise to the complaints received by the Political Resi
dent and His Majesty’s Minister, Tehran, as the result of which His Majesty s
Consul received orders to proceed to Charbar at the latter pait o i ovem e .
A large number of the inhabitants, including some of those who had applied
for permission to retain British nationality, fled to Gwadur and othei places

avoid being forced into taking Persian nationality papers.
