and security, besides giving some support to the local ( ustoms
authorities,' preventing smuggling and maintaining correct
relations with the Governors. By fulfilling these obligations
they consider they give no legitimate pretext for further inter
ference by the Governors and are entitled to manage their own
internal and external affairs. The Khan of Shabankaieh and
Zira has also paid the revenue due fairly regularly, but he is
less astute than the above named and his districts are often in
some disorder as a result of bad management.
The Khans of Borazjun, Tangistan and Dashti have not been
in the habit for some years of paying their very considerable
taxes, and, relying on the powerlessness of the Government
authorities, have oiten flatly declined to do so. Chahkutah has
behaved in a similar manner. Tangistan and DashtT are always
in the bad books of the Persian Government.
As regards the relations of the Chiefs to one another Llravi,
Haiat Baud, Rud Hilleh, Angall and Shabankareh have been on
peaceful terms with one another for a number of years. The
Khans of Shabankareh and Zira have for many years been at
feud with the Khan of Borazjun, while the Khans of Daliki,
being allies of Borazjun, support the latter in this feud. Angall
has a standing feud with Chahkfitah, which in turn is hostile to
Tangistan. Tangistan is divided against itself and has a long
standing enmity with Haiat Baud, while the Bashtls for the
most part are on bad terms with the TangistanI village headmen.

and distrust Borazjun.
HaiSt B5ud, Riid Hilleh, Liravl, Angall, Shabankareh and
Zira have been consistently friendly to British interests, while
Borazjun, Tangistan, Chahkutah and Baliki may be expected
to show hostility. Of the Bashtls some headmen during the
Great War threw in their lot with the Tangistan s, while others
adopted a friendly attitude towards the British.
The Nomad Tribes of Fdrs.
The principal nomad tribes of Pars are the Qashqal and
Khamseh tribes, the former Turks, the latter partly Arabs of
mixed origin. Of secondary importance are the Mamassani,
Lashani, Mishmast, Bolr Ahmadi and Bushmanziari. who
