7. You will have noticed that Articles 3 and 4 of the
regulation under consideration refer to earlier regulations
on sporting guns. As Saudi legislation is so difficult to
keep track of, it may he worth noting here that the earlier
regulations in question would appear to he those enclosed
in my despatch No.228 of June 18th 1931, supplemented hy
those enclosed in my despatch No.186 of June 17th 1933.
8. I am sending a copy of this despatch to His Majesty^
Ambassador at Bagdad. If the suggestion at the end of
paragraph 6 above is adopted, it may be desirable to
circulate to the other posts concerned a memorandum on the
whole subject, rather than to distribute copies of all the
correspondence. You may prefer to arrange for this in
London but, if you wish, I can in due course circulate from
here the more important articles in the regulation with a
memorandum of my own on the points requiring attention.
I have, etc.,
(Sgd.) ANDREW RYAN.
