Geological Penetration - Dhank - Yankul•
In order to complete the geological picture of
the hinterland territory in the central regions to the
west of the main Oman mountain range, it will be necessary
to examine the terrain by surface geological methods,
and it is hoped to send a representative to Buraimi
during the 1947/48 season to make contacts with and
visit the various chiefs at Dhank, Yankul and 1 Ibri as
a preliminary to sending a survey party during the cold
weather 1948/49 •
The area to be examined during 1948/49 will be
from the actual main mountain range westwards as far as
is found practicable.
The visit of our representative this season would
be mainly concerned with making contacts with the various
chiefs and notables and with the aid of a little largesse
to obtain promises for the right to enter and explore
during 1948/49.
A list is attached of the known tribes and chiefs
in the area to be visited.
We shall be grateful for your advice on the
practicability of the programme outlined above.
We have the honour to be,
