The column experienced Sfreat difficulty throughout its
operations owing to the heat and lack oi w atei in a
country where shade is non-existent.
' Kerman.—From the time of Alexander the Great to the
end of the 18th century wave after wave of invasion both
from east and west swept over Kerman. The continued
changes of government resulting from these invasions has
contributed largely towards engendering in the people of
the province a feeling of independence, in spite of the fact
that during the latter half of the 19th century Kerman
attained in an era of peace to something of its former
importance.
In 1911 there were many rebellions in the province
against European incursion but these were finally put down
by the Governor.
In 1912 the province was again disturbed owing to the
forcible collection of revenue, but by the end of the year a
more settled state of affairs had made its appearance.
This has continued to the present day.
Bandar Abbas.—Until the year 1856 Bandar Abbas,
together with the islands of Qishm and Hormuz, which
had up till then been held in farm by the rulers of Oman,
was formally declared to belong to Persia. Its history
has been uneventful except A>r periodical raids on the
town by the Baharlus from Ears.
