(This rough sketch, prepared by Major Rawlinson,
was enclosed in Sir Stratford Canning’s despatch,
No. 70, of April 27, 1844. All these lines
only approximate: both the Persian and Turkish
claims were augmented subsequently ; moreover,
the point of convergence of the three lines should,
according to Major Rawlinson’s written des
cription, have been further north between
Kushk-i-Ujum and Kuskh-i-Bussorah.)
