tiie region cannot oe taken ao a guide, for different names
are t ound to indicate the same plaoe on different maps. V/e
tiierefore cannot rely on naps for evidence m this matter, and
as we do not know the point that was m sir p.Z. Cox’s mind,
we must investigate possible positions of the junction. The
arguments for possible positions follow, and show that there
are two logical positions.
4. There are lour possiole positions of the junction
A. Opposite the urn ^asr Creek
h* To tne ^ast of Ware a isianc
hot tne Khor
£obeir.
/*>
C. * Where the hhor baoiyaii joins tne haot-Weot channel.
1). The confluence of the Khor which flows Korth-Soutn
with that which flov/s hast-V/est.
A. In my opinion, the logical meaning of the term
Khor gooier is that Khor which flows roughly north-south the
mouth of which lies roughly between pillars K cUid L on the
attached map, that is to say* where the main orth-South
cxiannel is met by the Kast-West charinel. Any o tiler reading
based on information from maps would be hard to defend, for
although the term Khor Abdulla is found on some maps to
indicate the southern reach of the Khor £obier, tills cannot
be correct, lor on these selfsame i:iaps the wording KLor
3hai tana is found for the northern arm of the Khor Abdulla
at the b it urcation at War Da isianc., and the Khor bubiyan lor
the southern arm, this would indicate that the Khor Abdulla
terminates hast of Warba. Again, the southern reach of trie
Khor Zobier to the Yiest of Hecham island is known as the urn
(^asr ?ieaon and to the hast as the Khor Hecham. There are,
there! ore, no grounds for establishing the t-ermination of the
Khor Abaulla north of hecham.
d. it would oe illogical to assume that the Khor
Abdulla terminates to the hast of V/arba Island on the grounds
that on maps the terms Khor Shai tana arid Khor Bubiyan are used.
