PEEFACE to VOLUME V.
in
This volume was compiled by Lieutenant Wilson during 1911,
after an extended tour in Luristan, and is intended to be complete
in itself and to contain all available information of military nature
concerning the districts dealt with, superseding such entries in
the Gazetteer of Persia, Volume III, and Gazetteer of Kirmanshah
(Eabino), as affect Luristan, as well as the “ Military Eeport on
South-West Persia, 1884 ” by Major Bell. All these publications as
well as records of His Majesty's Consulate at Ahwaz have been con
sulted, and such portions as still hold good incorporated with this
volume, which should, moreover, be read in connection with
Volumes I to IV by the same author.
Eailway and road alignments are only briefly touched on, hav
ing been dealt with at length in separate reports to the Foreign
Department.
For detailed information regarding Pusht-i-Kfih reference is
invited to Captain Lorimer's Report of 1908 which this volume sup
plements only in regard to routes in that district, and to events which
happened subsequent to January 1909.
