where they were about to open a customs station. It was
explained to the Persian Government that owing to the
inaccuracy of the map on which the frontier line was
drawn by the commissioners in 1896 some doubt existed
as to the precise position of the boundary near Mirjawa,
more especially as this portion was not at the time
delimited on the spot. It was also suggested that
further investigations on this point were desirable,
but meanwhile instructions were given for the post
established to be withdrawn to a position on territory
which was indisputably British.
4. In a note dated April 6, 1902 Sir A. Hardinge
suggested to the Persian Government that arrangements
should be made for a demarcation on the spot of the
frontier between pillar 11 and Koh-i-Malik oiah. In their
reoly of May 14, 1902 the Persian Government agreed to
appoint a Persian to meet a British official with a view
to place boundary marks at the point where the river
Mirjawa falls into the Talab and on the points north of
the Mirjawa Mountains to Koh-i-Malik oiah, but they
considered that from pillar 11 along the natural boundary
line of the River Talab up to the point where the Mirjawa
River falls into the Talab, no demarcation was necessary.
5. Accordingly, in December 1902, Major A.H. McMahon
was appointed as His Majesty’s Commissioner for the
delimitation of the portion of the frontier from the
neighbourhood of Padaha (Mirjawa) to Koh-i-Malik Giah.
