In continuation of my telegram no. M 9 dated May eth , I nave
the h~nou& to thvise despatch by tills mail to your address and
to the Indi Office t of copies of a plane tub! j sic etch showing
the TurSco-Per Im frontier west of Hswiseh as locally observed
To each copy I have attached a memorandum of which I also
enclose a duplicate Herewith, explaining the status of th sketch
and the data on which it has been compiled and executed*
I now beg to oifer the following further observations*
** siton. o _...H ewx z eh c It will be seen from tlie reiinrlcs
recorded in my memorandum above mentioned that some doubt id
aroused as to the accuracy of the position of Hawiseh as indicat-
-ed In the map of the Anglo-Hus slant Boundary commission
published, by the Ordnance survey Southampton in 1875 .
This doubt la emphasized by the fact that the position also
of Kut Nahr H- shim, which was determined by surveys in 1910
with reference to irusiri(Ahw8z) / was f mSL by Lieut. Wilson to be
considerably north of the position shown on the Oommi oioners 1
For th-LS reason^in the ©vent of any formal demarcation of the
boundary on the Hawlxeh ride being contemplated^it would a: ear
to be hxgh-j-y decir hie to get that Important point accurately
fixed astronomically ana by triangulation^with reference to
some fixed point, ana tills is now rendered the more feasible
map*
