formerly inclined to be friendly to the British, and were accustomed to
look to them for protection against the Persian Government. They are a
fine race with features of the ancient Iranian type. They are considered to
be Lurs, and speak the Lur dialect with local modifications. The Mamas-
sani do not owe allegiance or pay tribute to the Governor-General of Pars.
About 1902, the major part, being a fief of the crown, was sold to a rich
merchant of Bushire, the Mufin-ut-Tujjar. This transaction was arranged
by the Atabeg-i-A J zam, the then Vazir. The farmdn of the Mufin-ut-Tujjar
gives him rights of haute et basse justice ” over the lands and tribes pur
chased by him; and over which the Governor-General of Pars has no right
of jurisdiction or taxation.— (DeBode. — Baring — Bell — Grahame, 1905 —
ArbtUhnot, 1905.)

Vaughan says that the Mamassani Lurs are said to be divided into four
principal divisions, as follows :—
1. Bakish. The Bakish are sub-divided into the following divisions :—

4. Rustam, 1,300 families.
(Rabind from information obtained in 1906 by Droskar Mann.)
The Mamassani Lurs pay 12,000 Inmans mdlldt to the Governor of Shi
raz, and 20,000 tumdns besides. These tribes, judging from the retinue
of their Khans (whom one would naturally suppose to be the best equipped),
are principally armed with smooth-bore muzzle-loaders and a few with
Martini carbines, chiefly of the sporting pattern. They are all marked
“ Allport London.” They also possess some smooth-bore, double-barrelled
muzzle-loading guns, pistols and knives; they seem a simple, ignorant, pri
mitive lot of people, with a very high opinion of themselves and their fight
ing powers, and are said to be devoted to their chiefs. They would probably
be troublesome to the unaccredited traveller. The Dushman Ziari are said
to be most warlike of the tribe.— [Vaughan, 1890.)
